It's reported that in an interview, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed concerns over the relationship between China and Russia, saying that Russia is too reliant on China and that the two countries, that's Russia and China, both of which are nuclear powers, could join hands against the US.

"China and Russia are two major countries. Our bilateral relationship has a strong internal driving force. It will not be affected by any third party. Both China and Russia have long-term development strategies and foreign policies. No matter how the international landscape changes, our relationship shall move forward at its own pace." Lin said at a regular press conference in Beijing. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
