I asked this question last week. When we think about China and we think about Russia, we think about the strange relationship they may or may not have. I'm interested your thoughts about what China's interests and objectives are and what Beijing hopes to achieve in the near and the long term by what looks like and appears to be deepening ties with Russia, notwithstanding the fact that they claim they want an end to this.
Mr. Jenkins, you can start.
