Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin Launch a Joint Nuclear Power Project

The convergence of two supper powers as Chinese president Xi Jinping and Russian president Putin launch a joint nuclear power project with the construction of 4 nuclear reactors in China powered Russian third generation nuclear technology which has potential to shift the strategic balance of power and help Russia test its new nuclear technology outside its borders.

The two countries are neighbors and are also the second and third most powerful countries in the world when you go by military might although there's one link which is missing in order for Asian century to be attained or if the  complete strategic balance of power is to  change from US led Western countries to China-Russia- India led which is India.

The three countries of China, Russia and India which are linked by land borders can for sure dramatically change the status quo if they so one time decided to cooperate although it remains to be seen if India can accept the rising of China not as a threat but as an opportunity to help in its development.

There's no doubt that Putin administration have decided that its time to move on after countless offers to join US led Western countries was not only denied but was also followed by sanctions and expansion of NATO near Russian borders.

There's still a lot of heated debate about whether China and Russia can form a military alliance and whether the current closeness will be short lived but according to how Russian government is placing its policies, it shows a long term engagement with China on economic front, social exchange, space and military.
