Russia, across the Eurasia, has a vast territory. Although Russia regards"double-headed eagle" diplomacy as a long-term strategy, the security strategy ofRussia is focused on Europe, and also puts itself as one of European countries. With thecenter of the world economic is shifting to the East, in the Asia-pacific region, thesecurity environment of Russian has changed a lot. Facing various kinds of changes,Russia adjusts the security strategy in the Asia-pacific region, emphasizes ondeveloping relations with Asia-pacific countries and participating in the Asia PacificEconomic integration. Forces of Russia’s intervention in the Asia-pacific region, makesthe situation of this region gets more complex. The Asia-pacific strategy of Russiaincludes multiple aspects of political and economic connotation, among them, thesecurity strategy is a very important part.This article expounds the Russian Asia-pacific security strategy and its influencefrom four parts.The first part is the analysis of Russian Asia-pacific security environment in theearly twenty-first Century. With the comparison of powers in Asia-pacific regionchanging, the rapid development of economy leads China become a vital force in theAsia-pacific region. For striving for economic interests and maintaining the hegemony,the United States pursues the strategy of "Asia Pacific re-balancing", and turns thetarget to the Asia-pacific. At the same time, the rapid development of Japan’s rightistand the Association of Southeast Asian Nations also has an important impact on thebalance of power in the region, coupled with the hot issues in the Asia-pacific region inrecent years, the complex security situation, the change of the CO opetition relationsbetween big powers, all of these make Russia’s Asia-pacific geopolitical environmentundergone earth-shaking changes. The second part is the the strategic goal and implementation measures of theAsia-pacific security strategy. The implementation of Russian Asia-Pacific securitystrategy is from the perspective of its own interests, aims to drive the far east economicdevelopment and promote national economic revival. At the same time, guaranteeingthe eastern front, for the west’s strategic plan to build a stable "strategic rear", what ismore important is to ensure that its influence in the Asia-pacific region, whichconducive to Russia in a good position in the future of the international situationchanges, and further to restore its glory. Russia adjusts the Asia Pacific SecurityStrategy of a full range, including combining economic cooperation with politicalsecurity closely, using economic cooperation to promote political security, developingeconomic cooperation under the condition of political security. At the same time, Russiamediates actively in the field of hot issues and disputes to increase their influence in theregion. In addition to the above, Russia also strengthens its military presence andimproves arms sales space, thus ensuring the good Asia-pacific security environment.The third part is Russian Asia-Pacific strategy’s character and main restrictingfactors. The Asia-pacific security strategy of Russia has characteristics of "balance ofpowers""parallel politics and economic""carrot and stick", etc. It also needs to seethe restriction factors of the implementation of the Asia-pacific security strategy. Thesefactors include the traditional diplomatic positioning with emphasis on the EuropeanRussia is difficult to change, and its level of economic development and the Asia Pacificeconomic connection degree is limited, and the situation in the Asia Pacific region iscomplex, multi power struggle, which has affected the development of Russian AsiaPacific security strategy.The fourth part is the effects of promoting Asia-pacific security strategy on theAsia-pacific region and in response, China’s strategy analysis. The implementation ofRussian Asia-Pacific security strategy makes the Asia-Pacific security environmentmore complex, but it also makes the space of the choice of power in the Asia-pacificregion larger. For China, the traditional friendly relations between China and Russiagets more deeply, and more deepening "comprehensive strategic partnership ofcoordination", it is beneficial to the cooperation between the two countries together toresist the pressure of USA and its allies. But China should also see that Russiaimplements the security strategy of "balance" which is from the perspective of its ownnational interests, Russia can’t and won’t fully consider China, so China cannot rely on Russia. North, toward the ocean, stable development of its own strength are the goalswhich still can not be shaken, Only with the help and support of Russia, China can buildthe new Asia-Pacific political and economic order. And at the same time, China shoulduse flexible economic means to resolve security conflict with Russia, and create a goodenvironment of political security for its economic development.
