中ロ、事実上同盟化も　米と対立「今後１０年加速」―防衛研報告

　防衛省のシンクタンク「防衛研究所」は２４日、中国の軍事動向をまとめた「中国安全保障リポート２０２４」を公表した。米国主導の国際秩序を変える「戦略的目標」をロシアと共有し、「事実上の同盟関係に入ることも想定される」と指摘。「今後１０年程度、米国と中ロの対立は加速していく」と警鐘を鳴らした。
　習近平、プーチン両政権について、自由や民主主義など米欧中心の価値観に対する「嫌悪感」を持ち、新秩序構築へ連携を深めていくと強調。日本周辺での合同演習など軍事面の結び付き強化だけでなく、「グローバルサウス」と呼ばれる新興・途上国の「グループ化」を図る外交を推進すると分析した。戦略的に幅広く協力が進めば、「事実上の同盟関係」となる可能性に言及した。（2023/11/24-17:07）

China and Russia may effectively become allies as they share common strategic goals including change of the current U.S.-led international order, a Japanese government think tank said Friday.
   China and Russia "could effectively enter into a de facto alliance," said a report by the National Institute for Defense Studies, a think tank of the Defense Ministry.
   "The contest between the United States and China/Russia over the international order will accelerate" in the next decade, the China Security Report 2024 said.
   The administrations of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin "share a common aversion to Western liberal values," such as freedom and democracy, and are expected to deepen cooperation to build a new order, according to the report.
   The two countries will not only strengthen their military ties, including through joint exercises around Japan, but also "form groups around authoritarian emerging and developing countries" among the so-called Global South states that do not necessarily share universal values, the report warned.
