Russia and China: unequal marriage
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Alexander Saveliev

Vague statements and the sad reality of the state of bilateral foreign economic relations speak of Russia's significant lag, which makes it a junior partner and raw material appendage not only for the West, but also for the East.
