As Russia and China have become closer over the last decade, both countries have taken steps to alter the status quo in their respective geopolitical spheres. A Brookings Institution panel explores whether the closer alignment of these two neighbors is changing international politics to the disadvantage of U.S., Europe and the rest of Asia.
