I'm glad you mentioned that. I want to bring up that point because another thing that China is doing is having more bilateral discussions with other countries. One of the countries they've had initial bilateral discussions with is Russia, and it seems there's a renewed interest, given the fact there have been joint military exercises. Negotiations and deals have been signed between Gazprom and Rosneft for heavy drilling and deep drilling. It seems to me that this renewed partnership in that area will change in many ways the geopolitical analysis that's happening.
Going forward, how much is this relationship deepening, and what should we be aware of? You even mentioned the Xue Long, the Snow Dragon. That ship was purchased from Ukraine in 1993; that's how far back those relations go.
If this is the way two superpowers are now emerging together in that area, obviously the geopolitical strategy is going to change. What's your analysis or commentary on that? What should we be aware of?
