Report Launch | Russian and Chinese Interests and Influence in the Indo-Pacific

How compatible are Russia and China's interests in the region?

Friday, February 7 | 10:00AM - 11:00AM EST

This is a virtual event that will take place on Zoom.

Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) for the virtual launch of a new report, the first in a series of five on Chinese-Russian relations in the Indo-Pacific.

Featured Speakers:

• Robert Hamilton, Head of Eurasia Research, FPRI

• Elizabeth Wishnick, Senior Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University

The first installment examines the interests of each in the region, and gauges the level of regional influence each enjoys. It then concludes by assessing how compatible their regional interests are, comparing their relative influence, and discussing how their relationship in the Indo-Pacific region might impact and be impacted by their relationship in other regions.

To define the region, this report uses the boundaries of the US Indo- Pacific Command Area of Responsibility (US INDOPACOM AOR). Within these boundaries, five countries or regions stand out as critical to understanding China-Russia relations: the Korean Peninsula, Japan/East China Sea, Taiwan, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)/South China Sea, and India.
