      Russia and China determined to join forces to establish new grand union 
     
     
     
      The Chinese will have to develop a passion for Russia during the 
forthcoming 12 months. Russian President Putin has recently arrived in China to 
open the Year of Russia: this is the first time Putin visits the most populated 
state of the world in 18 months. The president has personally launched the 
website that will provide the informational support for the event. 

      The capital of China, Beijing, is currently undergoing dramatic 
transformations. One can sense the spirit of imminent Olympic Games in the air 
of Beijing already. Chinese taxi drivers study English to be able to understand 
foreign tourists. Drivers try to learn most primitive English phrases which 
they listen to on audiotapes every day. 

      Vladimir Putin could also notice that the streets of Beijing have become 
a lot cleaner than they were before. Apparently, it is another initiative from 
the Chinese authorities to raise the level of civilization in the city. Social 
services have conducted a special research to find out most outrageous types of 
"uncivilized behaviour" in Beijing. The list of "revolting actions" included 
spitting on the ground, throwing garbage in the streets, making too much noise 
and swearing. 

      The government has immediately produced a manual about bringing up good 
manners in Beijing citizens. Chinese TV channels aired a short animated film 
called "30 Seconds of Civilization." To complete the public propaganda of good 
behaviour the authorities decided to modernize all public toilets in Beijing 
and equip them with ultra-modern sanitaryware and even music units. To crown it 
all, Beijing toilets will be categorized on the hotel classification: the most 
gorgeous, civilized and expensive public conveniences will have four stars. 

      Putin's first day of stay in China was marked with a sensational 
statement. The president said that Russia and China were working on a project 
of building a new pipeline system, provisionally called Altai. The new pipeline 
will be built from the Russian Federation across the western border of China. 
Once the system is ready, China will have a reliable fuel supplier, and the 
energy balance on the continent will obtain more stability. 

      Needless to say that China's role in the world has been growing speedily 
during the recent years. Beijing's geopolitical interests go far beyond the 
framework of bilateral relations with Russia. Russia is obviously interested in 
developing partnership with China, although the Russian business does not see 
China as a strategic partner. The commercial cooperation with Russia makes up 
only two percent in the structure of China's foreign trade turnover. A certain 
exception can be made for the Russian fuel industry, the development of the 
military and technical cooperation and the potential of scientific projects 
between the two countries. Russia does not view China as an economic priority 
either. 

      Putin's current visit to China has a goal to find a new model of 
strategic partnership between Russia and China. The visit has been a success so 
far. As for the economic cooperation, China will continue searching for ways to 
access Russian energy resources. Russia in its turn needs to use China's 
potential to spur up the development of East Siberia and Far East.
