| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Sino–Russian relations evidently present a puzzle or quandary to foreign observers.
In the wake of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, China has opted decisively
to offer Russia limited but substantial political and informational support. But it
has continued joint drills and exercises with Russia. The argument presented here
states initial that despite an equivocation, these actions reveal that this relationship
amounts to a de facto alliance of the two governments. The article begins with an
analysis of China’s reaction to the war in Ukraine, proceeds to discuss the issue of
the nature of this relationship and the view that it is an alliance, and then proceeds to
discuss the benefits of this alliance to both sides in regard to their defense industrial
sectors and for China in regard to Taiwan. |
