I hope so. That is a problem that has certainly been identified. The more isolated Russia becomes from the west politically and financially, the further it is pushed into Chinese arms, and we risk a scenario in which Russia, if it becomes weak enough, actually becomes something of a satellite of China.
It's difficult to see a way around that, however. The west is not going to open up financing again to Russia, barring some significant break and a change in Russian behaviour. The west is not going to re-engage with Russia politically to the point where Russia will disengage more with China.
That is a problem we acknowledge. That is recognized. We do not want to drive Russia and China closer together, but there's not an obvious avenue of approach to prevent that from happening.
Over the long run, what might prevent Russia from falling too deeply into the Chinese camp is the persistent and remaining suspicion within Russia itself of China. Russia does not want to become a satellite of China. Both the Russian government and the Russian people, I suspect, are going to think very poorly of the relationship developing in that way, but that's conjecture at this point.
I'm afraid I have no obvious answer.
