China is very powerful, and its probably that Russia will follow them rather than the USA.

How can a country like China, with so many Tanks, Ships, Soldiers and hundreds of Nuclear weapons ,be considered not strong enought?

No it really is not, not yet.  

And not a single Ruski will die for or follow China, they are no allies and are reluctant acquaintances at best often.  They view each other as competition, neither a superpower yet a power at each others doorstep.  

Lacks actual war experience lacks bases beyond its borders lacking in technology.  Their geo position is not so great sharing near proximity to Russia India Japan,  3 competing powers.   

Keeping in mind, the US still hasn't defeated cave dwelling Taliban after 15 years and had everything they could handle and then some with jungle faring Vietnemese. 

Russia wouldn't openly ally with China, but I think behind the scenes they probably would. US being bogged down in war with China would be great for Russia, they could "quietly" move in Eastern Europe and no one would be able to raise much of a stink, sit back and wait for both parties to weaken/destroy each other and reap the benefits.
