Some components of a global diplomacy. An essay.
In the second half of the 20th century, the most powerful military powers were the USA and the USSR (Russia).
Confirmation of the military strength of the United States and of the USSR (Russia) were the numbers of strategic missiles and nuclear warheads.
The two most powerful military powers have signed a number of agreements aimed at ensuring global peace and maintaining the strategic stability.
From time to time, statistics (for example, the sizes of military budgets) become available to the world public. These data indicate an increase in China's military power and a change in its place in the list of the most powerful military powers.
Are such agreements useful, - if China is not a side of agreements aimed at ensuring global peace and maintaining strategic stability?
If the United States are rejecting some such agreements, then, perhaps, this power considers such agreements inappropriate in the new strategic situation.
It logically turns out that new agreements, if they are signed, should include China as a participant.
China does not speak out in principle against global peace and strategic stability. But, judging by the general state of the media environment, China does not offer any high-profile initiatives in this regard.

Perhaps the United States at this stage refrains from high-profile initiatives - for a number of reasons.
The situation with modern Russia is completely different. She, a country with many financial and economic difficulties, most of all needs agreements on the limitation of strategic and other weapons.
But how to build a position (a foreign policy and a diplomacy position)?
Perhaps subtle but influential signals are coming from China ...
And with whom should Russia cooperate in resolving issues in the West and in the South? (Let's not forget about Nicolas Maduro's Venezuela, and about Cuba, and about Africa.) So, with whom to cooperate? Who to rely on? To keep hopes for Turkey? But Turkey is becoming an increasingly complex, difficult partner. Moreover, Turkey is not a permanent member of the Security Council.
Accordingly, the modern Russia criticizes the United States for withdrawing from a some of international treaties; however, the topic of strategic agreements involving China is not particularly touched upon.
So, the picture, may be, look like this: (1) the United States considers the existing system of international agreements on strategic stability partly outdated, (2) China is waiting and is watching, (3) the modern Russia is active; she demonstrates her peacefulness - she criticizes the United States for withdrawing from some agreements (with the participation of the United States and the USSR (Russia)) ...
