"Using as a case study the Chinese city of Zhenjiang, Xin Zhang examines three arenas from the 1830s to the 1930s-the Opium War, commerce, and technology (specifically steamship navigation)-to understand how global dynamics played out in China over the course of the century. A story of local Chinese sifting through external influences to determine what works for their society and what doesn't, a dynamic that runs right through to the present, The Global in the Local also illuminates the broader story of globalization and its impacts on ordinary people at the local level"--

Abstract: I examine how mutual perception and role expectation evolve over time between China and Russia on each other's position in the international system and on bilateral relations in the context of shifting perceptions of the "Big Triangle" between the United States, Russia, and China since the late 1990s. Building on Role Theory in international relations, I use official texts, and experts' opinions during a series of key policy episodes to demonstrate that constantly adjusting role expectations and role enactment has become an important part of official Sino-Russian inter-state relations. Such relations have evolved from a more conservative, mutual role expectation of "do-no-harm" to more proactive expectations of joint efforts and policy coordination. This changing role expectation comes along with mutual reassurance against role mismanagement when both seek to substantiate the role of "significant others" beyond traditional military allies. During the 2010s, Sino-Russian bilateral relations started to be increasingly shaped by a discussion about the salience of US-China-Russia "Big Triangle."

This article provides a review of Chinese official discourse, expert debates, and media narratives on China's relationship with Russia since February 24, 2022. It suggests that it remains an open question whether China's relationship with Russia will develop as one determined by China-US relations or as a genuine endogenous relationship.

This article compares the two policy narratives that have recently become prominent among Chinese political and expert circles regarding the Sino-Russian relationship: "no limits" and "endogenous drives". While the two policy discourses convey a certain degree of internal tension, they converge on portraying Sino-Russian relations as operating on a level distinct, and higher than that of the "axis of convenience" or the "revisionist challenger to liberal order" conceptualizations of the relationship that are prevalent in Western discourse.
