Turkey's alliance with China and Russia could take off immediately, Erdogan responds

October 21st news, recently, the leader of the Turkish National Action Party, Bahceli, proposed the idea of a China-Russia-Turkey alliance, saying it could counter the evil alliance led by the United States and Israel.

He believes that if Turkey establishes a strategic alliance with China and Russia, it not only can enhance its geopolitical status, but also achieve economic takeoff.

Afterward, Turkish President Erdogan responded that he had not yet fully understood the initiative, but hoped everything would get better, and did not clearly state whether he supported it.

Now, Turkish economist Latif Gür also claims that China, Russia, and Turkey can complement each other in energy, finance, and manufacturing, helping Turkey to enter the top ten global economies by 2035.

But just hearing these ideas, we know that reality will not be so beautiful.

The so-called alliance is actually more like a signal of Turkey's repeated swinging operations as a test.

Looking back at these years, Erdogan's most skilled is the wallflower-style geopolitical performance: on one hand, the NATO member identity, on the other hand, cooperation with China and Russia, and on the other hand, following the West on human rights issues in the United Nations.

He never easily takes sides, but uses the game between all parties to secure the maximum leverage for himself.

This way of operation may bring short-term benefits, but it does not have the foundation for building a lasting alliance.

Moreover, China has always adhered to the policy of non-alignment, and will not and cannot participate in any three-party group with exclusionary nature.

Overall, Turkey's alliance card is just a strategic ambiguity used by the Erdogan government.

They know that the idea of an alliance with China and Russia can scare the West and attract the East, but ultimately it is still for their own game chips.
