Abstract
The 1990s have seen the forging of a historic Russian‐Chinese strategic partnership, as far‐reaching and profound as the post World War II rapprochement between France and Germany. Their domestic security concerns, foreign threat perceptions and consequent foreign policy priorities now complement each other. Their last border disputes have been settled. Their strategic cooperation, from common procurement through joint training to joint development, is extensive and increasingly multifaceted. After centuries of rivalry and distrust, they appear now to have embraced a longer‐term strategic partnership, a partnership of mutual advantage, designed to optimize the natural off‐setting complementarities of their strategic agendas and potential. In economic and other arenas both continue to emphasize ties also with others. But in the security realm they now look first to each other.
