DESCRIPTION:Perfect Imbalance seeks to answer one of the most important ou
 tstanding questions in twenty-first century politics: how close are Putin'
 s Russia and Xi's China? Written by a scholar fluent in both Chinese and R
 ussian\, this book examines the current China–Russia partnership from se
 veral perspectives. First\, what Vladimir Putin\, Xi Jinping and their res
 pective foreign policy establishments publicly say about the relationship 
 between the countries. Second\, how the two establishments frame their tan
 gible cooperation on matters such as security\, the Arctic\, space and int
 ernational relations with other Eurasian countries. Finally\, the book exa
 mines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon Sino–Russian relations. P
 utin and Xi's stories\, where possible\, are cross-checked with what is re
 ally happening. Perfect Imbalance argues that although Russia has not pivo
 ted towards China\, and although there is no official Sino–Russian allia
 nce is in sight\, the relationship will continue to grow and expand in sea
 rch for a perfect imbalance. Dr Una Aleksandra Bērziņa-Čerenkova is a p
 olitical scientist\, China scholar\, Head of Political Science PhD program
 me and China Studies Centre at Riga Stradins University\, Head of the Asia
  program at the Latvian Institute of International Affairs\, a member of t
 he China in Europe Research Network (CHERN) and European Think Tank Networ
 k on China (ETNC). \nSpeakers:\nDr Una Aleksandra Bērziņa-Čerenkova (Ri
