Similarly, Franz-Stefan Gady (2019) likens the contemporary Moscow-Beijing axis that opposes the USA to Entente Cordiale, the 1904 Anglo-French agreement that paved the way for France and Great Britain to become allies against Germany and the Central Powers during the First World War. The Sino-Russian entente is helped by the fact that both Russia and China, in their actual foreign policies, adhere to the classic great-power logic of spheres of influence, notwithstanding their rhetoric about the primacy of the norm of sovereignty and the need to democratize international relations.	./cache/cord-026721-hrxf3rr7.txt	./txt/cord-026721-hrxf3rr7.txt
