On November 28-November 29, 2019, the RAS Institute for Far Eastern Studies (RAS IFES) hosted the 7th Theoretical Conference of Young Orientalists on the subject of "East Asia: The Past, the Present, and the Future." The annual event was organized by the RAS IFES Council of Young Scholars. The Conference participants were addressed by professor S.G. Luzyanin, RAS IFES Director, D.Sc. (History), who pointed out in his welcoming speech that the globalization model was undergoing a change, and various regional players in East Asia had their own regional versions and projects. The study of the latter against the background of the mounting US-Chinese confrontation makes the subject of the reports at the Conference particularly topical. Also, the Conference participants were addressed by G.V. Kulikova, First Deputy Chairperson of the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society, who had been recently awarded the Order of Friendship, the PRC premier state award conferred on foreign nationals.

| Summary/Abstract |
The massive protests in Hong Kong in 2019 became part of a growing movement by people opposed to joining the Mainland after half the period stipulated in the 1997 agreement between Great Britain and China for gradual reunification of the PRC and Hong Kong in 2047. Despite close and mutually beneficial economic cooperation, the unification of the two systems is not proceeding. On the contrary: There is a growing clash of identities in the Special Administrative Region of Xianggang. The population of Hong Kong is striving to preserve its autonomy and civil rights. This mood is especially strong among the young generation, which has emerged as the main force driving the protests. The victory of those against integration with Beijing in the elections to the legislative councils in November 2019 could mark the beginning of political opposition to the policy of reunification with Beijing and cast doubt on the overall feasibility of the concept "One country, two systems," and the prospects for extending it to relations with Taiwan. It also poses a threat to realizing "the Chinese dream of a great rebirth" and restoring to China its world-shaping functions in the international arena.

The results from the elections of 2017 and 2019 show that the coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito once again has a stable majority in both houses of parliament. This article analyzes the reasons for the electoral failures of the opposition. These include such factors as the predominance of a large conservative segment in the electoral field, a rise of populism in society, a demand for charismatic leaders, and Shinzo Abe's skillful use of the possibilities offered by the media. Future prospects for the opposition are seen in the promotion of political alternatives with regard to social policy that are attractive in the eyes of the electorate.

The Gugong Museum (former Imperial Palace) in Beijing has a group of artifacts from the Russian Empire that are yet to be regularized and researched. Among them silverware by the most famous suppliers of jewelry for the Czar's Court: Faberge, Ovchinnikov, and Grachev. Some of the articles are gifts that Russian Prince Ukhtomsky presented to the Empress Mother Cixi, the Emperor, the Empress, and dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty, when he was sent to China by Nicholas II in 1897 for an audience with Emperor Guangxu. The author of this paper takes a close look at this audience in accordance with historical documentation and examines the Russia-related artefacts in the Gugong Museum, identifying their origin and trying to introduce in academic circulation valuable information about Sino-Russian relations during the pro-Russia epoch and the Union with Russia period.

| Summary/Abstract |
Russia's turn to the East and South Korea's New Northern Policy seem to imply cooperation between industries for the benefit of both sides. However, the three main areas of economic interaction - investment, trade, and tourism - are not leading to a qualitative development of Russian-Korean relations. Measures to expand cooperation should involve not only solving technical issues, but also working to form joint values, improve the efficiency of institutions and coordinate the work of interaction channels.

This article deals with the actions of the Soviet government in connection with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, which was detrimental to the economic and geopolitical interests of the U.S.S.R. in the Far East. These actions were of a "defensive" nature, which was caused by the military weakness of the U.S.S.R. in this region and the desire to maintain stable relations with Japan. Specifically, this was expressed in numerous concessions to Japan, which culminated in the sale of the Chinese Eastern Railroad (CER) for next to nothing and the withdrawal of the U.S.S.R. from Manchuria.
