The chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee said Friday that a partnership between the Russian and Chinese leaders worried him, adding, “We have never seen a threat this large scale to Europe and the Pacific, I would argue, since World War II.”
An alliance between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin "provides a very big challenge I think for the free world in this great power competition that we find ourselves in," Rep. Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, said during a visit to Sweden.
