Twenty years ago the China-Russia Treaty of Good-neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, was signed. In June this year, before the treaty's expiration, President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin renewed the treaty for another five years.

The treaty was first signed between the former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin and Putin on July 16, 2001, as a sign of the strategic partnership and convergence between the two countries. What has changed in the China-Russia relations over the past two decades? How deep and broad is their partnership? What's next for the bilateral relationship? What are the implications of this partnership for the global community?
