As both China and Russia are permanent members of the UN Security Council, their diplomatic alignment can also be examined through their voting behavior. On contentious measures where members did not vote unanimously, voting alignment between China and Russia was only 58.7%.
While multilateral groups like BRICS facilitate CRINK collaboration, much of the diplomatic coordination between CRINK countries occurs bilaterally, revealing considerable imbalances between global powers China and Russia and the less powerful, more isolated Iran and North Korea.
"CRINK countries are strengthening bilateral diplomatic ties in important ways," @CSISMidEast experts write. "Yet multilateral engagement among all four countries remains a rarity and underscores that CRINK still falls short of an 'axis.'"
Diplomatic ties Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the 2025 Iran-Israel war have raised questions about deepening CRINK cooperation. @CSISMidEast experts @myacoubian and Briana Winslow examine this relationship and the veracity of these assumptions: csis.org/analysis/crink…
