Das sino-russische Bündnis und die Rückkehr der Machtblöcke

The public event "The Sino-Russian alliance and the return of the power blocs: Mao's and Stalin's long shadows?" explores the relationship between Russia and China beyond the common narrative of their alliance against the West. Historical tensions, ideological differences and asymmetric perceptions continue to shape their partnership today.

Is this alliance merely a tactical convenience or a stable strategic cooperation? What geopolitical implications arise, particularly in the context of the war in Ukraine and a possible second Trump presidency? These questions will be at the center of the discussion, which is organized in collaboration with the University of Cologne, the Academy of International Affairs, and other partners as part of the 7th Hermann Weber Conference, taking place from March 27 to 29 in Bonn.
