... was launched. This international payment system is based on the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) under the auspices of the Chinese Central Bank.[8] The downfall of Western arrogance Like Germany’s historical East, including the territories of Prussia and Silesia, the world’s East, Asia, has often been seen as a backward region.

However, such an objective coincidence of the interests of the countries of Asia and Eurasia with Russia, as a rule, does not lead to their readiness to join Russia in its conflict with the West. It would probably be a mistake to think that states which remain poorly endowed with everything except demographic resources and are solving the problems ...

Russia’s Turn to the East: Between Choice and Necessity

... issue of the dependence of internal stability on interaction with various external partners. To what extent this is true, we have yet to figure out. But even now, one can make several assumptions that are directly related to what place relations with Asia will occupy for Russia in the coming years. First, relations with China and, especially, other Asian states are still no way to resolve problems of an existential nature. Even taking into account the fact that cooperation with partners outside Europe in the energy sector ...

Russia, China, and the Indo-Pacific

... recognize that in the East, as well as in the West, it is now flanked by a power with a superior economic strength, a source of investment, and a modernization resource. Hence, it has rebalanced its foreign policy more evenly between Europe and China/Asia. Russia has been able to adapt to a strong China; it has managed to build a relationship with it, squarely based on national interests. After the 2014 Ukraine crisis and the ensuing confrontation with the United States and alienation from Europe, Russia ...

Where Europe Meets Asia

... crisis and how to overcome it. Equally surprising was Russia's absence from ASEM, which discussed strengthening the links between two major regions of Europe and Asia, especially given Russia’s strategic position as a bridge between Europe and Asia, as Russian politicians and experts have pointed out. The key ASEM partners do not see this platform as the most promising and give priority to others, such as G20. Because Russia initially showed little interest in this platform, its accession to this forum ...

Russia’s Pivot to the East: To Asia or From Europe?

... when you consider Russia's grand state-building strategy. It involves bringing about qualitatively new economic development for the country's Siberia and the Far East - a vast but scarcely populated region beyond the Ural mountains bordering Pacific Asia. The Russian leadership hopes that a diplomatic push to China and other East Asian states will create a favorable environment for a wave of investments to the lagging eastern extremities of the country. The success of this policy is a whole other question....

... joint naval drills with its Asia-Pacific allies (most likely China, among others) in the South China Sea in May 2016. How do you see Russia's potential participation playing into the overall dynamics of the region? There always has been a Russian naval presence in Asia-Pacific, which Moscow now intends to strengthen. But this will not have a major impact on the overall evolution of the situation. First, Russia’s naval capabilities will not be substantial enough to give it the status of a major power in the ...
