Abstract: The article examines the current forms of cooperation between Russia and China in the field of AI applications in healthcare and identifies the vectors of their possible development. The purpose of the article is to analyze the political conditions and mechanisms of bilateral cooperation between Russia and China in the field of artificial intelligence technologies in healthcare, based on a case study, a review of the regulatory framework and a comparative study of national development strategies. The methodological basis used is an analysis of scientific literature, a comparative approach, and a case study to identify key areas and barriers of political cooperation between Russia and China in the field of AI in healthcare. It was found that the China and the Russian Federation are successfully implementing artificial intelligence technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of human health pathologies, and an analysis of joint projects has shown that Russian-Chinese initiatives to introduce AI into the healthcare system have favorable prerequisites for progressive expansion and deepening. It was also possible to identify differences in the scale of implementation of these projects. China as a whole is demonstrating a more ambitious approach, whereas in Russia the initiatives are more private. The main obstacles to bilateral cooperation in this area are caused by differences in legal regimes, as well as the language barrier. The implementation of medical AI projects between Russia and China is not an exclusively scientific and technical initiative. This is a manifestation of a broader foreign policy strategy aimed at developing independent technological systems, reducing dependence on Western IT solutions, and strengthening countries’ global positions in the context of digital transformation.
