ABSTRACT This essay argues that a Sino-Russian alliance has come into being over many years of the two states’ evolutionary policies. Although Vladimir Putin has emphasised that this is a multi-faceted relationship, this essay focuses exclusively on its military dimension. It comprises extensive inter-ministerial and inter-governmental cooperation, arms sales, joint exercises, and shared political orientation. While it may not be a formal alliance like NATO research, e.g. by Alexander Korolev, indicates that in general experts argue that what they have achieved is even better than an alliance.

不神圣的俄中联盟

摘要 本文认为，中俄联盟是在两国多年政策演进过程中形成的。尽管弗拉基米尔·普京强调这是一种多方面的关系，但本文只关注其军事层面。它包括广泛的部际和政府间合作、军售、联合演习和共同的政治方向。虽然它可能不是像北约研究那样的正式联盟，例如亚历山大·科罗廖夫 (Alexander Korolev) 的研究表明，一般来说，专家认为他们所取得的成就甚至比联盟更好。
