Boardertalk: Sino-Russian Relations examines the historically turbulent relationship between Russia and China, which today is influenced by the two countries' interaction as trade partners, (in energy, arms, and consumer goods), as they compete for influence in resource rich Central Asia, and as Chinese interest in investment and migration to Siberia grows. Explore the history, economy, politics, and languages of both Russia and China from the excellent vantage point of Siberia, where Russia literally meets China. |
