The paper focuses on the processes of Russian-Chinese international cooperation to strengthen global and regional security. The impact of US policy on these processes is the scope of research. The above-mentioned issue is reviewed by means of historical, comparative, and system analysis. The article identifies the origins and causes of the current state of Russian-Chinese relations that have been established by the early 21st century and determined the further foreign policy development. The basic idea is that for several decades the Russian and Chinese governments have repeatedly revised their attitude towards security issues under the influence of Western countries. The author concluded that, despite a strong negative impact of the United States policy on regional and global security, the US activities positively affected the relationships between Russia and China.
