Annotation: This article provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary cooperation between China and Russia through the lens of geopolitical changes in the Eurasian space. The objective of the work is to identify the extent to which China-Russia interaction represents a well-thought-out strategic model rather than an ad hoc alliance against Western influence. The study relies on a comprehensive approach that combines the analysis of academic literature, official diplomatic documents, economic indicators, and strategic initiatives (e.g., Belt and Road Initiative, SCO). The results obtained demonstrate the depth of institutional coordination, economic synergy, and military-strategic interaction, and also identify the limitations associated with national priorities, structural differences, and external pressure. The discussion presents substantiated models of further interaction, including a “strategic partnership alliance,” an “operational tactical alliance,” and the possibility of structural autonomy. The conclusion emphasizes that it is institutionalization and the coordination of external strategies that give the models of cooperation between Russia and China stability and allow them to withstand global uncertainty.

Keywords: China, Russia, geopolitics, strategic cooperation, Eurasia, SCO, economic synergy, military cooperation, One Belt, One Road, international alliances, diplomatic relations, multilateralism.
