No - enemy of my enemy is my friend doesn't always apply either.So it is more of an enemy of my enemy is my friend for now, situation.
There is no shared vision of the future and thus each just takes what they can from the other.
That is the NORM for both countries and people.
The global order, regardless of all the lip service from the West about 'democracy, civil rights, equality' etc etc, is basically equivalent to the 'Wild Wild West'. North American and European democracies are just as hypocritical, petty, arrogant and autocratic (in geo-politics) as the 'non democratic' States they love to bash. One just has to look at the West's duplicity towards that atrocities and crimes committed by States such as Israel (Palestine) and India (Kashmir) to understand that.
The United Nations, ICJ and various other international bodies, supposedly designed to function as neutral arbiters in international dispute and conflict resolution, are deliberately kept weak and incapable of any meaningful enforcement actions, with powerful nations routinely violating what few judgements they do manage to issue and protecting their 'favorites', irrespective of the crimes committed.
Instead of reforms, so called democratic States like India just want to join the coterie of the 5 feudal lords reigning supreme over everything in the Security Council so that they too can have the power to block or ignore any meaningful enforcement or judgment that goes against their interests, and it isn't the so called 'autocratic States' like China supporting the expansion of said 'Feudal Lords in the Security Council', it's your so called 'freedom loving democracies' of the US, UK, France.
