Since 1980s, international relations has had complicated and profound changes, among which the political complexion between countries is significantly faded. In particular, with the speeding of economic globalization and regional economic integration, the important role of economic force is gradually highlighted in the world’s political and economic relations. In recent years, China and Russia, as two of the most important emerging economies, have maintained relatively even economic growth under the whole international economic conditions, resulting in the increasingly important roles in the international society. In addition, China and Russia have maintained good bilateral relationship for more than 20 years, which has become one of the …show more content…
Lu (2011) detailedly analyzed the status quo and development tendency of China-Russia economic relation, and pointed out the crucial factors and disadvantageous factors influencing the development of the bilateral relationship between China and Russia. Wang (2011) argued that the level of the bilateral relationship between China and Russia had a relatively great gap from the strengths of these two countries, and analyzed the new tendency and reconstruction issues of China-Russia economic relation, and finally pointed out that the participation of Russia in WTO would be conductive to solve economic disagreements and differences between China and Russia in the international environment. Besides, Lu (2012) focused on the regional economic cooperation between China and Russia, and concluded that the two countries should attach significance to the cooperation in energy projects, science and technology, strategic projects and infrastructure construction. At the same time, Lu (2012) indicated it was important for the two countries to enhance regional cooperation. Zhao (2010) made a systematical analysis on the establishment of China-Russia free trade zone and the necessity and feasibility of establishing the free trade zone, and suggested the government establishing this trade zone in accordance with regions, stages and fields. Moreover, Song & Wang (2008) thought fusion degree of economics was a concept used to study the economic
China and Russia are seen as two of the most powerful nations in the world. Their strong military, economy, and large amount of land and population. These two nations have many similarities and differences that effect their relationship and how other nations see them across the globe. One major trait they have in common in their governments political view, communism. Communism was seen as one of the biggest threats to the world once it swallowed China and Russia.
During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, China’s position quickly dwindled from being the dominant power in the East to struggling against encroaching Western powers that desired its territories, one of its main opponents being Russia. After the 1917 Russian Revolution, the newly established Bolshevik regime offered to return various territories seized by the Tsarist empire to China, but they failed to deliver on their promises when they seized Outer Mongolia and $2 billion in machinery soon after. This instance, among many others, contributed to hostile Sino-Soviet relations during the twentieth century.
Nowadays people have the option drive, fly, or take a train to anywhere they desire to travel, but had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act in 1862, we wouldn’t have to option to travel by train. This act affected today's railroads greatly for had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act, we wouldn’t have the transcontinental railroad and we wouldn’t be able to travel by train today. The interest was high for having a railroad that traveled across the states, having a railroad would not only allow for more trading and also more treaties to be made. When the Pacific Rail Way Act was in full swing, land conflicts arose, two railroad companies were competing for the position to be the main railroad company, and 5,000 civil war prisoners were petitioned to be workers of the railroad.
Japan and China have been in cold relations ever since the end of World War II. After the war, there was barely any diplomacy to bring together their relation. Not until 1972 Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka of Japan visited China with an official invitation. At the scene, both sides were willing for reconciliation and normalization, result with the Joint Communique between two governments. From that moment on, the (economic) relations of the two nations has been reestablished, encouraged and developed rapidly (China, Japan Joint Communique, 1972). There is an opinion that China’s incredible (economic) developing rate has greatly influenced Japan diplomatic with Beijing since that time. And this essay is going to support this argument with data as well as historical and contemporary context. First, energy requirement is usually critical to the development and modernization of China and the stabilization of Japan. Therefore, variables that related to it can influence both countries’ economic interest, lead to the consideration of policy makers. It is clear that both countries were in need of developing their gas and oil fields. Second, Japanese engagement into China market have changed a lot - Japanese companies and corporations were having decreasing influence on the economy of the client country - led to the need of adjusting investment policies within the government body. Third, China is modernizing and in many ways will be able to surpass Japan in near future. Therefore
The recent interactions of emerging and established states suggest that the existing standards of the current global economy are shifting. According to Stewart Patrick in his article “Irresponsible Stakeholders? The Difficulty of Integrating Rising Powers,” the United States must accommodate for emerging states within the global economy and refrain from enforcing their values of an open and liberal international economy in order to achieve effective cooperation. Similarly, Andrew Nathan and Andrew Scobell argue in their article “How China Sees America: The Sum of Beijingʻs Fears” that as China gains more influence within the global economy, the United States will have to respond appropriately to maintain its economic values. Both articles ultimately assert that
Moreover, the relationship between the US and China, despite the abundant political rhetoric, is economically considered so harmonious that many experts talk about the economic symbiosis of these two countries. Thus, the interconnectedness and interdependence of the US and China give rise to a version called the "two-headed dragon." The main idea of this version is that in the 21st century there will be two superpowers in the world: the USA and the PRC. The main geopolitical factors that determine the world's future will be G2 - China and America, and not the G20 - the "Big Twenty" or the "Group of 20" (Dong, & Whalley, 2012).
All human expression can be broken down into four basic emotions- happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. Of these emotions, none can contest with the influential effects of fear. Throughout history, we have seen the devastating impacts of fear in slavery, Stalin’s brutal reign over Russia, and most significantly, the Nazi party. Fear has constantly been shown to possess and control people to engender dire consequences, much like it does in Alan Paton’s novel Cry, the Beloved Country. In his novel, Paton examines the negative impacts of fear, namely prejudice and corruption. Set in South Africa, the main character, reverend Stephen Kumalo, observes the stark contrast between his poor village and the cosmopolitan city of Johannesburg. Throughout the story, he unearths the changes occurring in South Africa as a result of escalating racial tensions. His journey brings him to an understanding of the harsh struggle of his fellow Africans, and he too begins to experience the growing fear. Paton explicates that eradication of fear is of utmost importance in fashioning a unified country, and if we fail to set aside our fears, we must forever bear the scars of prejudice and corruption.
What were the turning-point events that kept relations between the Soviet Union and China hostile for over 20 years?
One of the largest communicational issues between China and the United States is due to the severe lack of transparency, creating enormous trust issues which has fueled national differences. A few of the ways that lack of trust has proven to be detrimental to China and U.S. affairs is analyzed in Kenneth Lieberthal and Wang Jishi’s, Addressing U.S.-China Strategic Distrust. It states, “China views the U.S. as taking advantage of the dollar as the reserve currency and adoption various projectionist measure to disadvantage the People’s Republic of China (PRC) economically”. Additionally, the United States disapproves of China’s mercantilist policies because they fear it will cause their efforts in economic recovery

The People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation are both indisputably two of the most powerful nations on Earth. For centuries, they have been leaders of their region; dominating in the political realm especially. Communism has been a staple in the history book of each (well, maybe a loose staple in Russia’s). Regardless, in an analysis of the five main “pillars” of comparison for this course1 in respect to both the similarities and differences between these two countries, one will have the ability to understand how the government of each is structured and how that government interacts with the people whom entrust them to carry out the necessary functions of a society.
The rise in China from a poor, stagnant country to a major economic power within a time span of twenty-eight years is often described by analysts as one of the greatest success stories in these present times. With China receiving an increase in the amount of trade business from many countries around the world, they may soon be a major competitor to surpass the U.S. China became the second largest economy, last year, overtaking Japan which had held that position since 1968 (Gallup). China could become the world’s largest economy in decades.
In this paper, the author attempt to shed light on the introduction the international trade policy of Russia. For this purpose, the author studied the international trade pattern of Russia through the analysis of geography, historical and economical factors. The previous studies analyzed the international trade policies of Russia on the basis of their domestic factors.

The results of this study suggest the international trade policy of Russia from the perspective of relationship with other countries that should have been considered important.
China’s new Silk Road plan, also known as the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative (OBOR), is not only an economic policy, but it is also a political one as well, wherein China can use it to unlock 3 doors with 1 key. If the Initiative is successfully implemented, China will able to attain their long-term domestic, international, and political goals. On an international level, if the OBOR is successfully implemented it will enable China to boost the international connectivity by linking China with countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa through inland and maritime routes. This connectivity shows that China believes bringing other countries together into tight-knit trade and investment relationships best carries out geopolitical and security
This year, the European Union and the People 's Republic of China celebrate their 40 years anniversary of diplomatic relations with one another. During these years, they have redefined their relationship, they have deepened their mutual understanding and today they share what both sides call a “strategic partnership”. However, during all these four decades, this profound relationship experienced many difficulties and challenges, until the last two decades, which marked a new era of political and economic strengthening of their ties. Especially, since China 's accession in the WTO and the institutionalisation of its economic and trade cooperation with the EU, the two parts have witnessed a flourishing of their relations. The EU
