 Abstract. The Russian government's strategy of pivoting the economy towards enhanced cooperation with Eastern countries serves as the foundation for analyzing the dynamics in Russia-China relations and understanding their true nature. This study addresses the aspects of equitable treatment and mutual benefits, as well as controversial and contradictory situations. The findings reveal that China shows a clear interest in broadening their extensive connections with Russia, yet it does not intend to forsake cooperation with other influential actors, notably the US and the EU.
Keywords: political alliance, economic partnership, Russia, China, geoeconomics, international relations, foreign policy
