Abstract
Humanitarian exchange is an important means of building mutual trust and plays an important role in establishing long-lasting friendly relations between the two countries. The ChineseRussian humanitarian exchange mechanism is the first foreign exchange mechanism of its kind initiated by China and is considered to be a creative step of the Chinese government. This article outlines the mechanism of Chinese-Russian humanitarian exchange in its vertical and horizontal dimensions, analysing its multilateralism, complex structure and large scale character. In its vertical dimension, the mechanism of Russian-Chinese humanitarian exchange can be divided into three levels: state, institutional and public. In its horizontal dimension, the mechanism of Russian-Chinese humanitarian exchange in the new era ensures bilateral cooperation in many areas, such as culture, sports, science and technology, as well as healthcare, and enables to achieve beneficial results. The article emphasises that the sudden outbreak of coronavirus created unprecedented challenges for Chinese-Russian scientific and technological cooperation, and as part of the «years of Russian-Chinese sci-tech cooperation», China and Russia will continue to strengthen their scientific and technological cooperation in the areas of public health and biosecurity: cooperation in medical research, Chinese medical assistance to Russia, cooperation between China and Russia through the UN, the World Health Organisation, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS and other international organisations, strengthening cooperation in traditional medicine, infectious disease prevention, and vaccine research and development. A detailed analysis of the Chinese-Russian humanitarian exchange mechanism could also serve as a model for humanitarian exchange between China and other countries.
