What does Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine mean for the future of China-Russia ties? Please join the Atlantic Council on February 28 at 3:00 PM (ET) for a discussion of the evolving trajectory of China-Russia relations in the months and years ahead. Recognizing the diverse political, security, and economic dynamics driving China-Russia strategic alignment, this session will bring together experts from the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub, Eurasia Center, Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, and GeoEconomics Center to explore key questions about what the future holds for Xi and Putin’s authoritarian partnership, the likely areas of expanding cooperation, and the implications for the United States and its allies and partners.
