On February 24, 2022, Russia launched the invasion of Ukraine. Just 20 days earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping had signed an "Alliance Treaty." This was no coincidence: Beijing and Moscow are closer than commonly perceived in the West. The two countries are not "bosom friends, " but they are united in an irrepressible desire to crush the supremacy of the United States of America. And both countries are clearly committed to a common social system, namely communism. This is diametrically opposed to the Western concept of democracy under the rule of law and individual freedom for humanity.If the most populous state on earth, the People's Republic of China, and the largest country on this planet in terms of area, the Russian Federation, join forces against the West, our democracy, freedom and rule of law will be in acute danger. There is no way for Europe to stay out of this culture war. But there is an opportunity to take a clear stance in order to achieve maximum security for the people of Europe in an uncertain era.In this grippingly written book, nonfiction author Andreas Dripke, UN advisor Hang Nguyen, and peace activist Jamal Qaiser vividly demonstrate what can happen when China and Russia join forces. This much can be revealed: It forbodes nothing good!
