Mike Baker: 作为前中央情报局人员和主持人，我注意到最近泄露的俄罗斯情报备忘录揭示了中俄关系中一个令人不安的层面。虽然普京公开宣称与中国有“无上限”的友谊，但俄罗斯联邦安全局（FSB）私下将中国视为“敌人”。这份备忘录详细描述了中国如何试图窃取俄罗斯的军事技术，招募科学家，并利用俄罗斯在乌克兰的困境来收集情报。这表明俄罗斯政府内部存在严重分歧，反情报部门对中国的真实意图深感担忧。尽管俄罗斯在经济上越来越依赖中国，但这种依赖也使得中国拥有了更大的影响力。从美国的角度来看，这可能提供了一个机会，可以利用俄罗斯日益增长的不安情绪来离间中俄关系，但普京似乎愿意接受这些风险以换取中国的支持。总的来说，中俄关系远非表面上看起来那么牢固，其背后隐藏着复杂的地缘政治考量和不信任感。
