When China and Russia established a "strategic partnership" in
1996, both nations declared that they would further develop
military cooperation in various fields. Tsai examines the course of
this military cooperation to reveal the nature of the military ties
with the hopes of determining whether these two traditional
adversaries have put aside historical legacies and mutual mistrust
to create a full-fledged military partnership. After analyzing the
motives and concerns of both powers, Tsai concludes that, while
progress has been made in reducing military tensions in border
regions, the level of trust has not increased substantially. The
nature of these ties remains extremely fragile. Among Western
analysts, there has been concern that a closer partnership might
adversely affect U.S. interests in the region. China and Russia
have developed cooperation in certain areas, such as arms transfers
and military-technical cooperation, and these achievements have
successfully reduced political tension. However, reciprocal threats
against each other's territories and China's increasing ambitions
and capacity to act as a great military power in the region could
eventually become a major source of friction. Based on research in
both Chinese and Russian, this study offers a comprehensive
analysis on the development of and limits to this military
cooperation.
