China-Russia Relations in the Wake of the Russia-Ukraine War in 2022
YCAPS-SPF Community Conversation (In-Person)
16 November 2022 – 18:30-20:15 (Japan)
YCAPS & the Sasakawa Peace Foundation are pleased to announce the next event in the Community Conversations seminar series focused on the Yokota Community! This event will feature Mr. Taisuke Abiru, who will present on China-Russia relations in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. We will also be joined by Dr. Stephen Nagy who will join us and give comments.
Russia's national identity is that it must be a great power. Therefore, even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is still unacceptable for Russia to become a junior partner of the United States. The same would be true for Russia's relations with China, which the United States now sees as its only global competitor. However, such relations between Russia and China have started changing dramatically in the wake of the Russo-Ukraine war that broke out this year.
