"No one can sow discord between us and China. Someone in Washington tends to play the Russian card in the game with China. But I am sure that our Chinese friends know this game well... Of course, we cannot and will not join the United States in opposing the rise of China. Everything is absolutely clear here," Ryabkov said in an interview with the magazine "International Situation".
