China’s Unique Partnership

China has 58 or so partnership agreements with various nations. There are many categories. They created a new definition for its supreme category with Russia:

Comprehensive Strategic Collaborative Partnership. (3) Since there is this unique partnership that sets it apart, we should look closer at what is going on in 2014, for this year has been more than unique. It has seen an evolutionary event, not merely a resistance movement against the Hegemon.

Nature provides what it needs for a species to survive. Humanity is seeing this within the relationship of China and Russia. I call it the Double Helix, merely because it is apt as a metaphor, not because every biologic or chemical fact in DNA is represented in the relationship. But similarities exist and Double Helix depicts this evolution nicely.

To decode the DNA of the relationship in this Double Helix of Bear and Dragon, we can look closer at the ‘base pair molecules’ of each strand. First, there are the ‘helices’ that each strand comprises. These are the complimentary characteristics that make this new genetic partnership work. They are what we would normally evaluate to decode any single nation’s ‘DNA’. Some nations have similar, some less, none have as much as or as profoundly essential to sustain continued growth and development and separation from the Hegemon, as well as security from threats. Thus, the Double Helix, China-Russia.

Hellices

Geography that spans thousands of miles of common borders (2,607 mi.), natural resources and multi-ethnic masses of peoples, large defensive militaries, recent emergence as developing economies, self-reliant market capitalist systems with state-managed controls, millionaires and billionaires and relatively modest middle class tiers,deep distrust of Communism as an economic solution, and massive state-owned enterprises in the key industries.

What one nation lacks, the other has. What one nation excels in, the other aspires. What one nation needs immediately, the other is ready to deliver. What one nation needs over time, the other is prepared to supply or access for the duration.

And most clearly, both nations have the same existential threat from the same source, using the same means to threaten both. Ergo, the unique partnership.

A quote from Lu Shiwei, a senior research fellow with the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University: “The close relationship between China and Russia is not only out of economic concerns, as the two complement each other’s economy. These active efforts are also a reflection of political necessity and desire. ” (emphasis mine) (4)
