True. But the way you phrased it, it sounds like now the Russians had "an accident" in a Chinese ship and unfortunately some cables got cut as a result. Oh those poor clumsy Russian, surely they never meant any harm. /s

Anyways, I think the original "pretty dark view" can easily be extended to cover both these nations and it wouldn't be far from the truth (which, as you may correctly add, is the US-centric kind of truth - the best kind of truth as far as personal freedoms are concerned).
