Cooperation or Competition: Chinese and Russian Eurasian Projects
With President Xi Jinping鈥檚 announcement of the 鈥淥ne Belt, One Road鈥 (OBOR) initiative and Russia鈥檚 economic weakness, Chinese influence is spreading across Eurasia. Faced with China鈥檚 growing strength, Vladimir Putin recently proposed the integration of China鈥檚 OBOR and the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union. Is this the beginning of a new 鈥淕reat Game鈥 between Moscow and Beijing, or a budding Russia-China condominium? What are the implications for Sino-Russian relations, for Eurasia, and for the interests of the United States?
This discussion is the second of the series, a joint project of the 乐鱼 体育鈥檚 Kennan and Kissinger Institutes.
