Which relations specifically do you suggest we rebuild?
The relations of 2001 when Putin gave his speech to the German parliament. An economic union from Portugal till Vladivostok was on the table. Russia wants to be self-reliant now after we rejected that.
China has its own voiced claims and seekings of foreign territories. They’re fundamentally egoistic and pursuing control and dominance
Aren’t they justified to be cautious? If Europe could, we would treat them like Africa or the US like Latin America. Unlike the US we are already number two, so not much to lose if China becomes number one. Nobody knows how relations are if containment is not part of the equation.
We need new kinds of relations. And the US doesn’t stand in the way of that.

Which kinds? Mercosur was not a full success.
