My comment: Although cooperation between Russian and China works in many fields, nowadays, energy is probably the most important field of cooperation. The Chinese government is helping state-owned Rosneft with a multibillion line of credit, in exchange for a long-term supply contract. Russia’s cash-starved energy majors might prefer to rely on their own government. But they need outside help to repay $70bn of foreign debt.
