Will Russia become dependent on China?
In Russia, there is a fairly popular opinion that the rapprochement between Moscow and Beijing will bring Russia "under China's control" and make it a raw materials appendage of the Celestial Empire. But few people know that China fears dependence on Russia.
Ivan Zuenko: "China itself does not want to put all its eggs in one basket. It does not want to increase its dependence on Russia in terms of energy supplies from Russia."
Of course, oil and gas are important components of our exports, but the scope of cooperation goes beyond energy trade. Russia is an important market for China. In addition, our country can provide a vital service of alternative, reliable and safe transcontinental transportation via land routes and the Northern Sea Route.
