Cooperation between Russia and China is necessary to maintain the balance of power in the world, China's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Cheng Guoping said Monday.
"Cooperation and coordination between China and Russia are needed to maintain the international balance of power and preserve the post-war world order. The participation of the leaders of the two countries in mutual events dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Victory in World War II indicates that Russia and China, as the largest countries in the world and members of the United Nations, intend to maintain international order."
It's officially strategic.

Maybe they should both try democracy; democracies don't go to war with one another.

The US is a democracy? That's what the elite would like people to believe. The US is a republic and republics do go to war with each other because they are controlled by the respective elites with different interests.

BTW, the US elite have a peculiar definition of democracy. It is countries that hold elections, however valid, whose outcome the US agrees with, and countries that hold elections that the US doesn't agree with are not considered democracies in the true sense and the election is considered a mock election. Examples of this in history are replete.

Moreover, the US recognizes reminds that it controls regardless of whether there is even a fig leaf of democracy. In fact, historically the US has backed some of the most repressive states on the planet and still does, such as Saudi Arabia.

"Democracy" is a slogan to dupe the rubes. There is no government on earth now and I can't recall one historically that has had a government "of the people by the people and for the people." That's another slogan to dupe the rubes.

Rather, the reality of republics follows the view of first chief justice of the US John Jay's belief that a country should be governed by those that own the country.

Even the most progressive US politicians like Bernie Sanders aren't talking about a true democracy as government of the people by the people and for the people but only putting a tighter leash on those who own the country and have captured government.
