U.S. media POLITICO reported today: The Trump administration believes that ending the Ukraine war by improving relations with Russia can weaken China's global influence. The goal is to bring Russia closer to the United States through incentives such as economic ties, thereby changing the balance of power so that it no longer favors China - which the U.S. views as a greater long-term threat.
Comment: Trump wants to replicate the "Sino-US-Soviet" reverse Kissinger strategy, thinking that economic benefits and ceasefire promises can pull Russia away from China. Essentially, he treats major power relations as transactions, underestimating the strength of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership, and misjudging Russia's security bottom line and national pride. The U.S. identifies China as a long-term threat and wants to withdraw from the Ukraine conflict, disbanding the China-Russia alliance. However, the structural contradictions between Russia and the U.S. are unsolvable, and trust has been completely broken. Russia will not abandon its reliable strategic partner for short-term gains. Trump's plan sounds good, but it will end in failure when implemented.
