The Russian Far East as a factor in Russian-Chinese relations

Article Abstract:

Russian and China face many challenges in managing changing geopolitical forces occurring in the Russian Far East. Russia's current military and economic weaknesses and lack of coherent policy toward the region makes its leaders fear Chinese incursion. China, however, is keeping a policy of accommodation with Russia. Regional elites have assumed more power and are seeking more autonomy, but not independence. The US needs to encourage cooperation and dialogue between Russia and China and with neighboring ASEAN countries.

A number of factors, which are discussed, account for this broad and growing disparity between the two groups of post-communist countries.

China is the last supporter of communism after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and Chinese leaders admit that their country and socialism are threatened by the external political situation. Twelve years of Glasnost has weakened China ideologically as it had to adopt an open market policy for successfully implementing economic reforms.
