This article is spreading a claim without elaborating on a very heavy matter. The title and content suggest that the world is seeing an unprecedented threat to world war III - a very serious matter - and ascribing the threat to eastern powers meeting together. The article reads, "This move deepens the ties between the two nations as fears of World War III escalate globally". This quote does not explain or provide examples as to this rising global fear and instead just leaves it as a superficial claim.
