\nThe China-US rivalry, observed since late 2017, has pushed Moscow and Beijing closer together, but it has not transformed their relationship. One reason is the persistent cautiousness of both states, another is Moscow\u2019s lack of capabilities to offer
\ngenuine support to China in such areas as the economy, trade or technology. The official rhetoric, boasting about the relationship being \u201cbetter than an alliance\u201d, in reality hides real obstacles to a more substantial cooperation.<\/p>\n
The first \u201cpost-pandemic\u201d in-person meeting between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping on 4 February 2022 seemed to have opened the new era in Sino-Russian relations. The joint communication was unusually ideologised, with both states claiming their democratic traditions. China offered support for Russia\u2019s \u201clegitimate security concerns\u201d in Europe and opposed further NATO enlargement. Russia reciprocated by supporting China in Asia. The slogans of the relationship
\nhaving \u201cno limits\u201d or no \u201cred lines\u201d dominated the
\npost-summit narratives. <\/p>\n
