China and Russia believe that the United States ‘must be taken down,’ Mr. Chang says.

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin are contemplating starting World War III, driven by their shared vision for the future world order, according to renowned China expert Gordon Chang.

Mr. Chang, a senior fellow at the New York-based think tank Gatestone Institute, made an appearance on 77 WABC Radio on Dec. 25 to talk about his new article on China and Russia. In his article, he writes that the two regimes “are forming the core of a new axis,” and around this core “are proxies and proxies of proxies, such as Iran, North Korea, Algeria, and a host of terrorist groups.”

Xi and Mr. Putin “are cooperating across the world,” Mr. Chang said during the interview. “They’ve basically divided the international system into two. They want to take over the other half. They’re actually thinking of starting World War III because they talk about using nuclear weapons all the time.”

Concerns about the relationship between the Kremlin and the CCP have elevated since February 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine and the two neighbors enhanced their ties to a “no limits” partnership. China’s nuclear capabilities came under scrutiny in October when the Pentagon revealed in a report that the communist regime has more than 500 operational nuclear warheads in its arsenal, with the number expected to increase to 1,000 by 2030. Meanwhile, Russia has a stockpile of about 4,489 nuclear warheads, according to the Federation of American Scientists.

“And what they’re doing is we see them cooperating in Ukraine, they’re cooperating in Gaza, and they’re cooperating in North Africa. They’re setting the world [on] fire. And we have a Biden administration that’s oblivious to what’s going on,” Mr. Chang said.

The China expert said China and Russia are watching the Biden administration’s response to Yemen’s Islamist Houthi rebel group, which has launched dozens of drone and missile attacks in the Red Sea since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on Oct. 7. The Iran-backed Houthis have aligned themselves with Hamas in Gaza.
