RUSSIA- CHINA: “NO LIMITS“ PARTNERSHIP BETTERENS BETWEEN BOTH COUNTRIES

The China-Russia Axis has been taking shape as their relationship, which has been developing for decades, has become more intense due to Russia’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. Given what they both see as a shared danger from the West, both nations made a clear strategic decision to put their relations with one another first. As the two nations use non-Western multilateral organizations, such as the BRICS forum and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), to increase their influence in the developing world, the strengthening of bilateral ties is complemented by a concerted push for global realignment. Even though Beijing and Moscow do not currently have any plans to forge a formal military alliance, big shocks like a Sino-US battle over Taiwan may still trigger one. The effort to improve ties between China and Russia started after the Cold War. Beijing perceived itself as the target of Western sanctions after Moscow’s repressive reaction on the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, while Moscow was dissatisfied with its loss of power and reputation. The two nations improved their ties, resolved their border disputes, and increased their arms sales throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Russia increasingly served as China’s primary source for cutting-edge weapons. China was already Russia’s biggest economic partner and the two nations frequently conducted military drills when Xi Jinping came to power in 2012. In parallel to promoting one another in international fora, they established the SCO and BRICS groupings to strengthen ties with nearby neighbors and significant developing nations. The strategic factors for even closer cooperation were already in place when the two nations strengthened their relations once more in 2019. After annexing Crimea in 2014, Russia’s relations with the West were strained, and the country was hit with the first round of economic sanctions. Similar to this, Washington declared a trade war against Chinese firms and labeled Beijing as its biggest long-term adversary. Washington also transferred military resources to the Pacific. Moscow and Beijing were extremely wary of what they perceived to be Western support for the color revolutions taking place in several countries and were concerned that they themselves would become targets. Russia completely supported Chinese positions on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang, much as China failed to denounce Russian military activities in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine. Additionally, the Kremlin made it clear that it supported Chinese territorial claims made against its neighbors in the East and South China Seas.
