Since the end of the Cold War, Russia and China have developed close ties in economic and diplomatic affairs. In recent years, however, cooperation between the two has expanded even further. In the wake of the Crimea crisis, Russia and China signed a historic gas deal, estimated to be worth over US$400 billion. Additionally, the two countries have stepped up their military-to-military cooperation and conducted several naval drills in the South China Sea and in the Mediterranean. Furthermore, Beijing and Moscow have proposed plans to link China's ‘belt and road’ infrastructure project with Russia's Eurasian Economic Union. These developments have spurred an intense debate among international relations scholars, think-tank analysts and policy-makers as to whether a Sino-Russian alliance is in the offing. In China, Russia, and twenty-first century global geopolitics, Paul J. Bolt and Sharyl N. Cross address this question head-on and provide a comprehensive analysis of the evolving Chinese–Russian partnership. The two authors open the book with a historical overview, followed by four chapters that explore different aspects of this partnership in greater detail—including economic and energy ties; military affairs; approaches towards regional conflicts; and non-traditional security issues
