FREIRE, Maria Raquel. The Russia-China relations. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2013, n.38, pp.95-104. ISSN 1645-9199.

Russia-China relations have been marked by areas of cooperation built on shared approaches in fundamental foreign policy topics, as well as by some elements of continuity in projects of national consolidation. However, this has not been a relationship without constraints, especially regarding incompatible goals. This article analyses the relations between Russia and China in an internationally changed framework, where the Asia-Pacific region has been gaining growing relevance. Political, economic and security relations are object of analysis, with the aim of understanding the main issues in the agenda and the dynamics that these have generated regarding the bilateral relationship, which is increasingly understood as asymmetrical.

Keywords : China; Russia; foreign policy; Asia-Pacific.
