Abstract
This chapter examines the intensification of Sino-Russian naval cooperation in the Indo-Pacific from 2021 to 2025, analyzing its strategic drivers, operational patterns, and regional implications. The study reveals that mounting Western pressure has accelerated bilateral maritime coordination, manifested in increased joint exercises across sensitive areas including the Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, and Arctic waters. However, this cooperation remains strategically calibrated rather than alliance-based, constrained by mutual sovereignty concerns and divergent long-term interests. Regional responses, assessed through Evelyn Goh's framework of comprehensive engagement and balanced influence, demonstrate varied approaches: while U.S. exclusionary mechanisms inadvertently reinforced Sino-Russian alignment, ASEAN's inclusive strategy preserved strategic autonomy without direct confrontation. The chapter concludes with policy recommendations emphasizing multilateral engagement and confidence-building measures to mitigate security dilemmas and maintain regional stability.
