ABSTRACT

During 1995-1998. Russian-Chinese relationship entered a new stage of the development. Moscow began to look at China in the light of Russian-American dispute on NATO enlargement eastward and signs of tension in Russia's relations with the West. More credence was added to ideas that China was a more reliable" and "easy-to-talk" partner to Russia than the West. The conception of "strategic cooperation" with China -contrary. or in addition -to cooperation with the West. was Included Into Russian foreign-policy baggage. Nevertheless. in Russia. there is no single understanding of the content and goals of the Russian-Chinese strategic cooperation. While assessing the Russian approaches to China from military-political. military-economical and economical perspectives. the paper also looks into the role of the pressing issue of illegal Chinese migration into Russian territories. The paper makes a plea for inter-governmental co-operation on the question of migration
