    This particular case is nearly the perfect embodiment of the oft cited retort to this phrase, "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, nothing more, nothing less." China is literally never your friend, even when your interests align nearly perfectly, because China works very hard to ensure it never bears the burden of friendship.
