Russia has been increasingly seeking economic assistance from China, reflecting a strategic pivot towards strengthening ties with Asian countries, notably China, to diversify its economic relations beyond the European Union. This shift, dubbed Russia's 'Turn to the East' policy, aims at recalibrating its economic engagements with Asia to counterbalance its heavy economic interdependence with the EU, as highlighted by Ivan Shchedrov. The move has sparked discussions on the necessity of bolstering China-Russia relations, with some voices advocating for a stronger military defense cooperation between the two nations.
