Issues of Integration Processes of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China
( Pp. 127-134)

Recent years have been characterized by a serious transformation of cooperation in the Greater Eurasia, as well as the strengthening of Russian-Chinese cooperation against the backdrop of a deep geopolitical crisis in relations between Russia and the countries of the collective West. It is customary to talk about a new level of interaction between Russia and China, as well as the development of partnership in the Eurasian space. Especially when it comes to the interaction of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB). In his article, the author attempts to study the implementation of cooperation between Russia and China in order to analyze the issues of integration processes in which the Russian Federation and China participate. The author comes to the conclusion that in order to better understand the features of the integration projects of Russia and China, it is necessary to give an analysis through the historical and political section of the development of both states and their participation in institutional processes in the Eurasian region. It has already been recognized that today integration processes are most actively implemented mainly at the regional level. Both Russia and China demonstrate great interest in participation and integration processes. However, if we talk about integration processes, then undoubtedly both Russia and China have their own vision of integration processes. And if the first state focuses on the activities of states, the second works with initiatives. At the same time, the political and ideological foundations for the creation and implementation of integration projects of Russia and China are based on the principles of sovereignty, independence, social justice and economic development. These principles determine the strategy and tactics of international cooperation of both countries, helping to strengthen their positions on the world stage and ensure stability and prosperity in the region.
