Multi-level Analysis of Sino-Russian Relations: Evaluating the Durability of the Bilateral Partnership

在过去的一年里，研究集中在两个方面：(1)国家层面的双边关系分析，主要是以中国处理俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的方式为例。一篇论文已被接受，将在7月份的国际政治学会议上提交。对两国领导人正式定义的双边关系进行了比较分析。(2)双边关系的国家和次国家层面的分析。到目前为止，主要针对俄语资源进行了分析，找出了两国之间可能削弱双边关系的主要问题。国家层面的分析，主要是中国处理乌克兰战争的方式表明，战略目标凌驾于双边关系的任何其他障碍之上。

This past year the research has focused on two aspects: (1) state-level analysis of bilateral relations, mainly taking a case study of China's approach to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A paper has been accepted to be presented at the International Political Science Conference in July. Comparative analysis of bilateral relations as officially defined by the two state leaders has been conducted. (2) state- and sub-state level analysis of bilateral relations. So far, mainly focusing on Russian-language resources, analysis analysis has been conducted to identify major issues between the two countries that might weaken bilateral relation.Analysis at the state level, mainly China's approach to war in Ukraine suggest that strategic objectives override any other obstacles in bilateral relations.
