NEW YORK – China and Russia are two sides of the same coin, that is, the challenge that autocratic regimes are launching against democracies around the world. Therefore they require a coordinated response, from Asia to Europe, that combines the strength of the United States with that of its allies. The aim is to counter this threat to the survival of the rules-based international order, which since World War II has guaranteed peace, stability and prosperity to anyone who has decided to embrace it.
