Eurasia Rising: The Partnership that Changes the World | Yevgeny Pavlov

China and Russia describe their partnership as “better than an alliance”—but what does that mean in practice? Russian journalist Yevgeny Pavlov joins Pascal Lottaz from Beijing to examine the interests driving their cooperation, China’s cautious diplomacy, and the limits of support for partners such as Iran. They also discuss Russia–Japan tensions, Ukraine peace talks, Nord Stream, and Europe’s deepening strategic crisis. As Washington shifts its priorities, the conversation explores how Moscow and Beijing navigate an increasingly unstable international order.Links:Yevgeny Pavlov's English-language Substack:https://substack.com/@beetureen?r=6mz...Opinion Mate on Telegram:https://t.me/opinionmateThe Guardian report on the Nord Stream suspect and film consultant:https://www.theguardian.com/business/...Neutrality Studies Substack:https://pascallottaz.substack.comDonation:https://neutralitystudies.com/donateMerch:https://neutralitystudies.com/shopTimestamps:00:00 Meet Yevgeny Pavlov: A Russian journalist in Beijing04:28 China and Russia: Better than an alliance13:54 Russia–Japan tensions and the WWII monument21:40 Ukraine peace talks and Europe's war rhetoric32:41 Iran and the limits of Chinese and Russian support42:17 Trump, Ukraine and Europe's strategic crisis48:00 Nord Stream and Europe's energy dilemma51:08 US overstretch, China's concerns and the road ahead
