Sino-Russian cooperation beyond energy

Editor's note: China and Russia made great contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. In the face of global challenges, the two countries will promote the correct historical perspective on World War II, and promote an equal and orderly multipolar world. Experts share their views on the issue with China Daily.

Amid the current environment of global instability and escalating trade tensions among major economies, the strategic partnership between Russia and China has acquired added importance. Despite the mounting pressure of sanctions on Russia and growing protectionist pressure on China, Sino-Russian relations remain resilient and continue to develop steadily.

In fact, some big power's rising trade protectionism has become a catalyst for deepening economic cooperation between China and Russia, reinforcing their mutual interest in building a global trade and financial architecture that can withstand external shocks.
