Вашингтонский Центр перспективных оборонных исследований (C4ADS) опубликовал доклад о сотрудничестве России и Китая в сфере вооружений. Доклад называется A Marriage of Convenience, «Брак по расчету», потому что оба государства получают значительную выгоду от этой кооперации.

Российские компании, выполняющие заказы для ВПК, начали переносить производство в Китай. В результате Пекин получил российские инженерные знания, которые раньше оставались внутри страны, сообщает Центр перспективных исследований в области обороны (C4ADS) 🔽

Fascinating research on the evolution of Sino-Russian cooperation, beyond the energy angle.

Curious to learn more about how Chinese defense industry entities and affiliated universities partner with Russian scientists to advance frontier defense technologies? Check out @pustota's latest (svoboda.org/a/rossiya-uchit-…) for @SvobodaRadio plus my own research for @C4ADS (1/2)
One of the biggest themes in Chinese science & tech policy is the push to get academia and industry to work more together on innovation. But ultimately enterprises should lead.
"National science and technology projects with clearly defined industrial application goals should, in principle, be led by enterprises, which should also take the lead in commercializing the resulting technologies."
产业应用目标明确的国家科技计划项目，原则上由企业牵头实施并主导成果转化。

I spent the past year studying 🇨🇳-🇷🇺 cooperation related to advanced conventional weapons - not only through military-technical cooperation, but also through supply/production chain integration and academic partnerships. Proud to see this go live; I hope you'll take a look.

In A Marriage of Convenience?, we identify the clear asymmetry in this relationship: China needs global markets more than it needs Russia. Beijing limits cooperation that doesn’t serve its own ambitions, and this alliance already shows signs of weakening. 7/7

A former Danish intelligence officer thinks these are most likely cover passports, false identities for spies. C4ADS, a Washington research group, agrees the names were invented. That's why the we conclude that the people with these passports are not real.

We supported @SZ's recent investigation into 28 passengers on seven Russian cargo ships who appear to be traveling on likely fabricated identities. Six of the ships carried military equipment to Africa.

NEW: For more than a decade, C4ADS has worked with partners across Africa to disrupt the networks enabling wildlife trafficking. We’ve helped bring trafficking kingpins to court, break up ivory smuggling operations, providing analytical tools and training that strengthen our partners’ own work.
Now, we’re going behind the scenes with a new blog series on our approach to this work: the arrests, the networks, and what it takes to stop traffickers as they adapt and shift.
