Throughout the last two decades the creation of a multipolar world was proclaimed more than once in bilateral documents signed by Russia and China. Meanwhile, even studies of scholars from those two countries testify that unipolarity remains in the international relations. However, relevant scenarios do not exclude possibility of multipolarlity in not so far future. Yet despite certain similar challenges Russian and Chinese international standing differs a lot. While China emerges as the second superpower Russia has to fight for its place among the great powers.
