Russia’s recent high-profile “turn to the East,” and the deterioration of Russia-US and, more broadly, Russia-West relations as a consequence of the Ukraine crisis have generated a complex geopolitical milieu that reignited discussions among both policy advocates and scholars about the prospects of China-Russia strategic partnership. The reinvigorated discussion of this crucial bilateral relation in world politics is accompanied by the re-emergence of age-old myths about and cliché views of China, Russia, and the relations between them that require closer empirical examination. This research employs a neoclassical realist framework to explore the causes and consequences of Russia’s recent “turn to the East” and the current dynamics of China-Russia relations. It defines the content of China-Russia strategic partnership and explains it by focusing on both international systemic and state-level variables. At the system level, Russia’s turn to the East can be understood as a part of its broader balancing response against American unipolar domination. At the unit level, there are complex domestic processes in Russia that have generated a political environment conducive to Asia-oriented policies. The talk also preliminary evaluates the chances for a China-Russia formal alliance to materialize.
