Strategic Prospects for Russia from the Perspective of Its Modernization Strategy

Russia＇s Modernization Strategy, advocated by President Dmitry Medvedev, aims at attracting Western capital, technology and human resources, and building a stronger Russia by making its politics more democratic and its economy more creative. This strategy, different from that of Vladimir Putin＇s, underlines Medvedev＇s earnestness to modernize Russia with the assistance of the West, and triggers suspicion that his strategy is one of emerging from Putin＇s shadow before the next presidential election. Uncertainty is once again defining Russia＇s strategic prospects.     

China＇s Neighboring Diplomacy Demands Top-level Design

Prresident Xi Jinping＇s recent attendance at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization （SCO） and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation （APEC） Summits, visits to Central Asian and Southeast Asian nations, together with Primer Li Keqiang＇s visits to South and Southeast Asia, followed with his attendance at the China-ASEAN Summit, and coupled with China hosting top leaders from neighboring countries, have all sent a strong signal to the outside world of the greater priority accorded to China＇s sun＇ounding areas by the new leadership.

Regardless of the basic principles governing bilateral relations over -the past four decades and the possible damage to the interests of the people of the two countries, the Japanese government has deliberately touched China＇s raw nerve frequently over delicate issues in disputes over the past couple of years. In 2010, the Naha prefectural court attempted to put on trial a Chinese boat captain detained for fishing near the disputed Diaoyu Islands. In 2012, under the pretext of preventing Tokyo Governor Ishihara Shintaro from ＂purchasing＂ these islands, the Yoshihiko Noda cabinet attempted to ＂nationalize＂ them. In 2013, flying in the face of world opinion, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe insisted on paying a visit to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, where the ashes of Class A war criminals are enshrined, and hinted at similar action in the future. Are these all the action of individual political leaders？ If not, what is Tokyo up to？ What of bilateral relations？
