The concept of Greater Eurasia is taking center stage as Russia's Greater Eurasian Partnership and China's Belt and Road Initiative foster economic and financial ties across the continent. Russia and China are key actors in cross-border economic relations in the region, advancing both bilateral ties and broader cooperation with other Eurasian countries across multiple sectors. Financial and investment cooperation plays a pivotal role in supporting trade, cross-border collaboration, and regional integration, yet this area of cooperation operates amid substantial challenges across Greater Eurasia. This Russia–China Special Issue focuses on the development of investment and financial cooperation, a key component of collaboration across multiple sectors, both between Russia and China and within the wider context of Greater Eurasia. The main topics for discussion:

  • Greater Eurasia as a field of integration and cooperation
  • Russia–China investment relations in Greater Eurasia
  • Opportunities for Russian investments in China
  • Chinese investment projects in Russia and other Greater Eurasia countries
  • Russian and Chinese investments as a factor in the technological development of Russia, China, and other countries of Greater Eurasia
  • Prospects for Russia–China investment and of financial cooperation amid contemporary challenges
  • Investment climate in Russian and Chinese regions
  • Development of advanced payment mechanisms in Greater Eurasia
  • Investment projects in Greater Eurasia in transport infrastructure, environmental protection, agriculture, and other sectors
