The Event
Contact between China and Russia can be traced back as far as the early seventeenth century. A large amount of fine, in-depth scholarship, Chinese, Russian and Western, has been devoted to studying the individual segments of the following four hundred years, but relatively few attempts have been made to consider the period as a whole.
In his new book, China and Russia: Four Centuries of Conflict and Concord, just published by Yale University Press, Philip Snow has undertaken this challenge. In his talk on March 23, he will focus on ten turning points in the Sino-Russian relationship, and will discuss what shifts and continuities they reveal, and the extent to which these enable us to understand the current partnership. The talk will be accompanied by illustrations and maps which chart the broader economic and cultural aspects of the Sino-Russian encounter.
Refreshments will be provided. The speaker will be livestreamed; attendees will be in-person only. This event is co-hosted by RASBJ and Yale Center Beijing, and moderated by Alan Babington-Smith, the Founding President of RASBJ.
