On the international stage, diplomatic interaction and strategic cooperation between countries are like a superb chess game, and every step reveals profound meaning. At the plenary session of the Investment Forum of the Russian Trade Bank, Vladimir Putin made it clear that he would fully cooperate with China without reservation, without any restrictions, including military technology, so is this a declaration of Russia's new development or does it have another meaning?
Against the backdrop of the United States and the West's attempt to contain Russia with diplomatic sanctions, these remarks are resounding and directly point to the current situation in Russia. Needless to say, the Ukraine crisis has added tension and turmoil to the current international situation, and Western countries should have wanted to cut off the development of the Russian army, but it may instead promote the development of closer relations between China and Russia. As the crisis in Ukraine continues, neutrality seems to be hard to come by. In the eyes of the West, China's neutrality in the Ukraine crisis is crucial, and in the complex web of international relationsChina's neutrality has never been a simple choice. China has never handed the most ammunition to either side of Russia and Ukraine. China has always followed the norms of arms trade and exports, and has always maintained the attitude that a major country should have. However, despite this, the protracted cooperation between China and Russia has not stopped, and under the "persecution" of the West, the military cooperation between the two sides has become closer and closer. Over the past 21 months, the scale and depth of China-Russia military cooperation have continued to rise, reaching record highs, revealing the strategic layout and far-reaching considerations between the two countries. 
Recalling that not long ago, Putin's rhetoric when he publicly revealed that China and Russia jointly developed a high-tech plan, and now, combined with his latest statement, it seems that it is paving the way for more in-depth military and technological exchanges between the two powers. If China and Russia jointly build a defense system, the security defense line of the Eurasian continent may be solidly improved, which will undoubtedly have a major impact on the international strategic pattern and will also deal a major blow to the US strategy. In fact, today, when the global military pattern is constantly changing, Russia, which has gone through ups and downs, seems to have begun to loosen up on the stage of military-technical cooperation, gradually acknowledging that China has occupied advantages in some military and technological fields. Russia has always used its profound military heritage as a bargaining chip for state-to-state exchanges. For a long time, Russia has maintained a sense of superiority in the field of military-technical cooperation and has taken a cautious attitude toward the development of military cooperation with China. However, the glory of the past is gone, and the former "military giants" are also facing practical difficulties. China and Russia, one is strengthening its core military capabilities at an astonishing rate, and the other is still in a position after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but it is also quite exhausted. In the midst of the changing situation,The advent of advanced equipment such as China's destroyer destroyer has forced Russia to look at China anew。Now, for Russia, acknowledging China's superiority in some military technologies may mean that Russia has put down its former shelf, symbolizing the beginning of more pragmatic cooperation between China and Russia. 
It is worth mentioning that the development bottleneck encountered by the Russian Navy seems to have become another opportunity for Sino-Russian cooperation. When the commander of the Russian Navy personally boarded the Chinese 055 drive, the entire international community was eagerly waiting for it, wondering what kind of strategic planning was hidden behind itIs it just a simple visit by the Russian side to China's 10,000-ton drive, or is it a signal of deep military cooperation between the two great powers?Before analyzing the possible impact of this incident, it must be mentioned that the Russian Navy is at a crossroads at this stage. The long-term accumulation of technology does not seem to have been translated by Russia into the actual capabilities of surface warship construction, and compared with the glory of the Soviet Navy in the past, the Russian Navy today looks rather bleak. Especially in the face of old assets such as the cruiser Moskva, which has generally exceeded 30 years of service and the loss of the cruiser "Moskva" due to the Ukrainian crisis, the Russian Navy is increasingly in need of fresh blood injection. The visit of the commander of the Russian Navy to the 055 drive is undoubtedly the best way to directly experience the achievements of the modernization of China's naval equipment through on-the-spot investigations. 
However, we must be aware that this is not just a one-sided technical visit or equipment purchase. In recent years, the Chinese and Russian navies have conducted regular joint exercises and frequent joint maritime patrols, and the two sides are committed to building a closer relationship and jointly maintaining security and stability in the relevant regions. This collaboration is booming in terms of both the scale and quality of Xi exercises, and will only grow stronger in the future as more joint Xi programs are confirmed. But we cannot ignore the fact that the inadequacy of the construction capabilities of the Russian Navy has become a bottleneck in its development. The sanctions imposed by Western countries have made Russia's shipbuilding industry even worse, and a huge naval power has fallen into an embarrassing situation of lagging behind in its shipbuilding capacity. In the face of the wave of retirements, Russia urgently needs to find partners to make up for the gap, and China, which has the world's top shipbuilding capacity and is far superior to most countries in military ship construction and technology, is undoubtedly their best choice. 
Some Russian experts believe that it is no exaggeration to say that if the Russian Navy can directly introduce China's high-end ships, then the improvement of its strength will be reflected at a very high speed. It is not difficult to imagine how far-reaching this cooperation will have on the development of the two countries. Returning to Putin's emphasis on unreserved cooperation with China and the visit of the Russian Navy commander to China, we can see that the cooperation between China and Russia is not only a simple exchange at the technical level, but also an important step in deepening strategic cooperation and enhancing military trust between the two sides. This kind of strategic mutual trust is not only a strong signal to the outside world, but also a true portrayal of the continuous strengthening of cooperation between the two countries.
