THE MULTIPOLARITY OF THE ENERGY DIALOGUE OF RUSSIA AND CHINA
The key aspect of the interaction between Russia and China in the foreign policy dialogue is the energy issue. The article describes the historical events that led the two countries to the energy dialogue. A number of events are holding back the accelerated development in this direction of both countries, primarily from the standpoint of energy security, not only their own economies, but also the whole world. The factors contributing to the continuous turnover of hydrocarbon resources between Russia and China even against the background of China's developments in the field of shale gas production are shown. The theoretical basis for the article was an extensive collection (almost three decades) of abstracts to the dissertations of Russian and Chinese scientists who defended their dissertations in Russian for a more objective description of the energy dialogue between friendly countries.
