Professor Wang Jiangyu of the City University of Hong Kong published an analysis: "The Ukraine-Russia war is bound to reach an end, and China will thus face new geopolitical risks: Sino-US-Russia cooperation. Of course, this is not inevitable, nor a black-or-white situation. Trump's friendly gestures towards Putin are not just for the purpose of ending the war; the underlying intention is 'Sino-Russian cooperation to contain China'. This is a reverse Kissinger strategy. If the US and Russia achieve interest division, it will be a zero-sum game for China to a large extent."
Professor Wang Jiangyu's analysis is highly warning. The end of the Ukraine-Russia war is quietly reshaping the Sino-US-Russia triangle relationship. The statement about the US "Sino-Russian cooperation to contain China" reveals potential geopolitical risks, and China will fall into a more complex geopolitical game. Looking at the current situation, the long-standing grudges and trust deficit between the US and Russia are unlikely to be resolved in the short term, so the US's plans may not work well.
This "New Three Kingdoms Story" is profoundly influencing the world order and the process of multipolarity: the traditional Cold War-style balancing logic is resurging, yet it cannot conceal the era trend of the rise of the Global South. If major powers return to bloc confrontation, it will only intensify the division of the world; only by adhering to mutual benefit and win-win can we break the dilemma of hegemonic games.
