New partnership with ESA and others on this "new" station?

Onwards to the Moon? Onwards to Mars? And how many nations? Will this be a true partnership between Russia, Europe and China? Is this a new partnership designed to work around (and exclude) the USA?

Is it all hot air, as so many other projects have turned out in the past?
