Several Chinese newspapers criticize United State's apparent "badmouthing" to strengthened ties between Russia and China.  According to the newspapers, Washington casts unjustifiable doubts on the growing partnership because it fears that both are plotting plans to overtake world power.

An article from People's Daily defended China's position of expanding relationships with Russia not as a strategy to alter the existing world order but to elicit reforms.  It added that even after the Soviet nation adopted a pro-democracy approach, it suffered limited economic options that worsened at the onset of the Ukraine crisis.

Similarly, Global Times wrote how the U.S. cannot resist "suppressing Moscow's strategic space" and constant monitoring of how Russia and China benefits from Western affiliations.

Albeit there is pressure from the international community, the papers highlighted an increase in China's exports and imports this year at 15.3 percent and 7 percent respectively.  Investments from manufacturing companies from developed countries have weakened including domestic demand for local products.

But instead of focusing on high-speed growth, China is putting emphasis on the quality of services and long-term trade maps as the country undergoes transition stage.  Results may be seen over an extended time period, but it does not necessarily mean that China has lost its global competitiveness, wrote Global Times.           

Meanwhile, a Xinhua News Agency editorial appealed to the government to enforce stricter laws dealing with corruption and misconduct of university teachers and those will violate behavior guidelines.

Recently, a professor from a university in Sichuan was expelled from service after a photo of him kissing two girls allegedly having "improper relationships" went viral online.

On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang signed a wide-scale economic development plan consisting of 38 documents on energy, aviation, weaponry, transportation, and currency trading deals.

Both leaders are enthusiastic that these partnerships are mutual and are expected to go on for years.
