To unlock the deeper meaning of this partnership, we need to understand that Beijing defines it as rolling towards a \u201cnew era.\u201d That implies strategic long-term planning \u2013 with the key date being 2049, the centennial of New China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Battle of the Ages to stop Eurasian integration Coming decade could see the US take on Russia, China and Iran over the New Silk Road connection Iranian seamen salute the Russian Navy frigate Yaroslav Mudry while moored at Chabahar on the Gulf of Oman during Iran-Russia-China joint naval drills.
