No source reports any 1993 agreement between China and the Soviet Union or Russia to overthrow the United States. The sources document a 1993 China-Russia defense cooperation agreement and later strategic partnership, and a source describes that partnership as not an alliance and not a united front.
What was said
… Since 1974, there have been some people in Serbia getting their fingers into our election systems. They've grown old, but it was in Serbia. Now, when the Soviet Union fell apart, somewhere in there this all transitioned to China, and in 1993, just you know, China china, having seen what we did to the Soviet Union, went out and had a meeting, and they agreed to overthrow the work together to overthrow the U.S. And when it happens, Russia gets Alaska and western Canada, China gets U.S. And eastern Canada, and if you look in Chinese national security literature, it's overt.

Contradicts. A 1993 China-Russia agreement exists in the record, but it is a five-year defense cooperation agreement signed by defense ministers, not a pact to overthrow the US.[2][3]
Contradicts. A Chinese academic source states the China-Russia strategic partnership is not confrontational, not an alliance, and not a united front, which runs against the claimed agreement to overthrow the US.[4]
Context. The 2001 Congressional Record article describes Russia-China coordination intended to counter US influence, a much weaker claim than overthrowing the US, and it does not mention any 1993 agreement.[1]
Context. Sources covering China-Russia relations in depth from the 1990s onward never mention a 1993 pact to overthrow the US, so the claim's central assertion is uncorroborated where coverage would be expected. The claim originates in the Ask Dr. Drew post's own speculative narrative, which no source corroborates.[2][3][4][5]
