are china and russia military allies? I've always thought about this and never found the answer. (If they are, couldn't they just invade all of Asia? They have the 2nd and 3rd most powerful militaries in the world, and after recruiting a couple other allies, could dominate eurasia.)

actually they used to be enemies, during the cold war they had a border war but lately they have been getting close as Russia needs and but has great weapons and china has money but bad weapons so china has been buying everything from ships to subs to aircraft and everything in between.

To the rest of the world they would admit that they are not allies. But just because you can see whats on the table doesn't mean you know whats going on underneath.
I don't want someone to sit around and conspiracy theory about this all day but it is impressive if you are keeping a watchful eye for these countries.

No. When they were both nominally Communist states, they had some confluence of interests, although there was no formal alliance. Nowadays, each state is looking out for its own interests.

Basically NO!!
But the old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is why they look to be allies.
The angst between the two have been happening forever.
