Název v původním jazyce

The Sino-Russian Rapprochement Through the Prism of the Development of the Russian Far East: Identity Contestations and Conflicting Representations of China in Russian Eastern Frontiers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter examines intersections between Russia’s China policy and the Far Eastern development strategy, with a focus on Primorye. Primorye is a particularly interesting venue for a case study of Sino-Russian interactions because it is both far from and important to Moscow. The distance between Vladivostok, the capital of Primorye, and Moscow spans seven time zones and 5,770 miles. China, on the other hand, is right on Primorye’s doorstep. In the mid-2000s, Primorye and, specifically its capital Vladivostok, became a showcase for Russia’s “turn to the East.” Drawing on the case of Primorye, the chapter illustrates contingencies, complexities, challenges, and paradoxes that underpin the development of Sino-Russian relations and identify the implications of closer ties between Beijing and Moscow for the development of the Far East. Drawing on interviews and extensive fieldwork conducted between 2014 and 2021, we show that the “turn to the East” promotes political rapprochement between Moscow and Beijing but does not facilitate establishing harmonious relations between communities along the Sino-Russian border and hardly facilitates the modernization of the regional economy. Overall, Russia’s inconsistent attitudes towards China reveal the fragile foundation of Sino-Russian friendship as well as complex internal identity contradictions that prevents Russia’s Far Eastern provinces from fully embracing the opportunities that China’s rise might offer them.
