The expansion of China’s influence will be a problem for future generations of the Russian leadership, the representative of the National Council for Intelligence (NIC) is Christopher Borch, reports RIA Novosti.
“All problems between China and Russia at this stage are solved, and managers (two countries) understand each other and can solve the problem of possible competition, but many indicate that it will be a problem for the next generations of Russian leaders,” said, speaking On Thursday in the Atlantic Council, the representative of NIC.
According to him, Moscow carefully and with fear follows the growing influence of Beijing in all regions, including where “Russia traditionally played.” “They know that the role of China is growing and that China can bring something that Russia cannot give money and infrastructure,” the board said, responding to the question of how Moscow estimates the growing influence of China in the Mediterranean area.
“I don’t think that now the growing influence of China is here it is a focus of their attention, they know and probably more afraid of this in other areas, for example, Central Asia, and probably in Vietnam, but to say that they (Russia ) Do not recognize that in the long run it is a problem, will be an exaggeration, “the board said.
