Abstract

The relations between Russia and China under the Ch'ing dynasty are attracting constantly increasing attention on the part of both Soviet and foreign researchers. However, certain works by bourgeois and Chinese authors are very remote from objective illumination of this long and complex historical process. They assert, for example, that considerations of military policy were always primary for Russia in her relations with China. Remaining silent on various kinds of factual information pertaining to friendly Russo-Chinese contacts, these authors deliberately overemphasize friction and conflicts of interest in which the "guilty party," in their opinion, was Russia; and they describe her as the "most aggressive power" operating in the Far East and Central Asia, virtually even before the beginning of extensive invasion of China by the Anglo-French and American colonialists.
