Report Launch: Russian and Chinese Interests and Influence in the Indo-Pacific
February 07, 2025 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Eurasia Program
About the Event
This report, the first in a series of five on Chinese-Russian relations in the Indo-Pacific region, provides a brief history of their regional relations, examines the interests of each in the region, and gauges the level of regional influence each enjoys. It then concludes by assessing how compatible their regional interests are, comparing their relative influence, and discussing how their relationship in the Indo-Pacific region might impact and be impacted by their relationship in other regions. To define the region, this report uses the boundaries of the US Indo- Pacific Command Area of Responsibility (US INDOPACOM AOR). Within these boundaries, five countries or regions stand out as critical to understanding China-Russia relations: the Korean Peninsula, Japan/East China Sea, Taiwan, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)/South China Sea, and India.
