This brief examines the strategic relationship between China and Russia following the sanctions imposed on Moscow by the West as a result of Kremlin's 2014 intervention in Ukraine. The author argues that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Beijing and the 9th East Asia Summit (EAS) in Myanmar, both held in November 2014, demonstrate Russia’s shared positions with China on critical regional issues and that this will lead to an expansion of cooperation between the two countries. It also raises questions about a possible concerted Sino‐Russian “pushback” against the US in Asia.
