Part 2 of Kevin Rudd interview via @Benny40 is interesting.
Suggests already in dangerous times with China already hit hard by US preparations for Cold War.
You might enjoy Rudd’s theory that China has a major interest in securing access to Russian energy resources.
Rudd’s view is that it is against China’s interests to sell arms to Russia unless the regime’s survival is threatened. That doesn’t sound very comforting to me since the regime’s survival certainly is threatened.
