Cooperation between Russia and China within the framework of a strategic partnership is an important element of the process of creating a multipolar world order

Currently, in the context of global socio-economic and political instability, as well as tense relations between Russia and China on the one hand and the countries of the European Union and the United States on the other hand, we can talk about the emergence of a multipolar world. The United States and the European Union are unwilling to cede their technological and political leadership among all countries of the world and seek to contain the influence of Russia and China, which are becoming new centers of influence. Due to the geopolitical competition, which is currently expressed in the military conflict in Ukraine, it can be concluded that Russia and China alone will not be able to resist the United States and the European Union. In this article, the author attempts a scientific analysis and critical understanding of the strategic partnership between China and Russia as a factor in the formation of a multipolar world.
