China has said that the US “attempt” to sow discord between China and Russia will be in vain as Washington and Moscow advances are in talks to improve bilateral relations, Chinese state media reported.
In response to recent comments from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s concerns regarding China-Russia relations, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Zian said Moscow-Beijing relations were not affected by third parties.
China and Russia’s foreign policy strategies will be long-term and China-Russia relations will continue to progress regardless of international circumstances, Lin said.
In an interview with Breitbart News, Rubio said that close ties between China and Russia could cause problems for the US.
The Trump administration’s recent bilateral negotiations with Russia have been seen by some analysts as an attempt to split Moscow from Beijing.
