China and Russia plan greater Eurasian integration - Expert


Sergei Karaganov: I think that “new” is what has happened recently, when China and Russia agreed on the integration and coordination of two mega projects. That is China's Silk Road Economic Belt and the Eurasian Economic Union, which is led by Russia. Previously, most observers assumed that these two projects would be competing with each other. Now, everything is exactly the opposite. It is very likely that a new area of economic development will be formed in the center of Eurasia that will benefit all, and probably become the center of the new community of Grand Eurasia.
