Russia (USSR) and China (1862–1986)

The Russian and Chinese rivalry is another long-standing Asian rivalry that does not follow the typical power politics path. Although there are numerous relevant alliances observed during the life of the rivalry, none are observed before the proto-rivalry stage. There are quite a few alliances formed between the proto-rivalry and enduring rivalry stage, suggesting that these events could help drive the rivalry to its enduring stage.

It should be noted that China, like most Asian states, did not rely on alliance politics to dictate foreign policy decisions. It seems the culture of alliance politics is much different in Asia than it is in the rest of the world. China did not see a marked increase in alliance formation until the rise of Communist China after 1949.
