For decades Russia has maintained strong ties to India as a "counterbalance" while China is Allied with Pakistan.

Even going back to "Soviet Era" China was viewed with suspicion even back in the 1960s they fought a War called the Sino-Soviet Conflict.

Even Russian Top Brass said holy crap we aint got enough men or bullets if a Billion Chinaman just rush across our borders at that time.

After the Collapse of Soviet Russia in 1991/1992 there was a hope they would move closer to the West secure economic ties.

But the hatred lives on we dont trust them & they dont trust us the Cold War never really ended.

Gorbachev and Reagan really seemed to hit it off well in my opinion.   Gorby even made a Pizza Hut commercial at one point.
