Here is some funny but very true comedy scene called "Chinese Opera - the dynasty of Pu" made by the most popular Russian TV channel (THT). It's A MUST for watching,
just skip it to 4:00 
I'll translate it for you. So the great master of the Northern country suggests a friendship to China:
"I'm the great master of the Northern country. Oh great China, my country brings you a wisdom and oil, a confidence and a natural gas, a calmness and oil, a harmony and a natural gas, a happiness and oil..."
"Oh the great master of the Northern country, what else you are gonna bring us besides oil and natural gas?"
"Yes. I'll bring you a love and a light... and an aluminum. The great friendship is coming. The whole University will kneel in front of us. The Pu (sounds like Poo) dynasty is coming!"
P.S. It's funny and sad at the same time.
