How Russia and China are bonding against the US
Moscow (CNN)
With another crisis looming on the Korean Peninsula, it's extraordinary how old rivals Russia and China are -- yet again -- speaking with a single voice.
Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping just had a summit in Moscow at which the countries issued a joint statement, articulating a common peace plan for the peninsula,
and together condemning US militarization in the region.
Indeed, Russia and China have common interests there.
Both share a land border with North Korea and have diplomatic relations with Pyongyang.
