On Thursday, March 5 at 11:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and the New Eurasian Strategies Centre will co-host a discussion on the evolving ties between China and Russia and what the partnership means for Moscow’s war on Ukraine.
China has emerged as one of the principal beneficiaries and enablers of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Beijing has sought to take advantage of Moscow’s growing economic and strategic dependence, while continuing its menacing moves in the Indo-Pacific. Though shared opposition to the West has drawn China and Russia into closer alignment, their partnership remains largely pragmatic, asymmetrical, and constrained by mistrust and diverging long-term goals.
Ambassador John Herbst moderates this conversation on the trajectory of Sino-Russian relations and what it means for the United States and its allies.
