"The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less." - Schlock Mercenary Maxim #29.
They aren't "aligned" past the first step. They are aligned on "not the current US-dominated world order". Past that, they aren't aligned at all.
And they aren't friends. They are interested in using each other to help with the first step, and that is all.

- euroderf 2y ago> "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less." Politics makes strange bedfellows, as they say, and so does war. The WW2 "alliance" between Germany and Finland ? Something along the lines of "The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but we can do business".
