The Russian International Affairs Council and Institute of International and Strategic Studies of Peking University published in 2021 a study titled "China-Russia Bilateral Cooperation in Africa."
The report reflects the different political experiences of Russia and China in Africa and the current asymmetry of their respective resource bases. It also shows that Russia and China hold close positions on fundamental issues of world politics. There are no irreconcilable differences between the two countries. The report concludes that Russia and China are not competing for influence in Africa, but, on the contrary, can complement each other's efforts.
