US intelligence spoke about strengthening cooperation between Russia and China

Russia receives economic aid from China and increases imports of Chinese products that can be used for military purposes. This was stated in a US intelligence report assessing threats in 2024, Reuters reported on Tuesday, March 12.

China provides economic and security assistance to Russia while supporting Russia’s industrial base, the report said.

However, it was noted that trade between China and Russia has been growing since the start of the war in Ukraine, and Chinese exports of goods that can be used for military purposes will more than triple from 2022.

US National Intelligence Director Avril Gaines, in her speech to the Senate Intelligence Committee, called on lawmakers to approve more military aid to Ukraine. He said it was “hard to imagine how Ukraine could hold on” to the territory it wrested from Russia without additional help from Washington.

American intelligence agencies have also said that the United States faces an “increasingly fragile world order” suffering from competition between superstates, transnational challenges and regional conflicts.

“An ambitious but recalcitrant China, a confrontational Russia, several regional states like Iran, and more powerful non-state actors are challenging long-standing rules of the international system, as well as US primacy within it,” said the intelligence agency. .

Additionally, the report warned that China could use technology to try to influence the current US election.

It was earlier reported that Russia sent the cruiser for training with Iran and China.

Let’s remember that last fall, the Republican leader in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, said that China, Russia and Iran are a new “axis of evil” that “the United States must face.”
