Time for Russia's "pivot to Asia"
English.news.cn 2014-06-02 10:41:47 By Kenneth Courtis BEIJING, June 2 (Xinhuanet) -- The 400-billion U.S. dollars, 30-year natural gas deal just announced by China and Russia is the biggest single trade agreement in history. With this deal, Russia has signaled a major and sharp pivot of its economic and strategic focus to Asia. Russia's "pivot to Asia" and dramatically enhanced relations with China, which this deal and related agreements signify, will have substantial long-term implications for Asia and more broadly for the Asia Pacific region. |
