The report said, from 1991 to 2010, China's imports of conventional weapons 90% is supplied by Russia. However, since 2007, China imported from Russia to reduce substantially the number of weapons.

The author of the report, the International Peace Research Institute, arms transfer project team leader Paul Thom Hall said: "Russia is basically willing to provide China with advanced weapons and technology, mainly because it fears that Russian technology and Chinese imitation with Russia on the international market competition competition rather than cooperation in arms trade will increasingly become a real feature. "the report says, the U.S. factor will continue to hamper long-term cooperation between China and Russia.

"

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that: "Although Russia in 2008 and 2009 Joint Committee meeting held on the two countries expressed their willingness to provide air defense systems, fighter aircraft, transport aircraft and submarines, but the two sides meeting in November 2010 did not sign on new orders. "China's arms imports from Russia amount from $ 1.2 billion in 2002 fell to $ 500 million in 2010.

The report notes that the next 10 years, China may still be imported from Russia, at least some of the needs of advanced weapons and technologies, especially including the tanker and transport aircraft, including assault weapons and high-performance long-range ship-to-ground missiles.
