China divides its bilateral relations into roughly four tiers: “comprehensive strategic partnerships,” which are the highest form and indicate cooperation in several areas (often economic, technological, political and military); “strategic partnerships”, which also indicate close relations (although not in as many fields); more general “partnerships”; and lastly “friendly and cooperative relations”. It has also coined bespoke labels to emphasize the uniqueness of relations with certain countries – such as a “comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era” (新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系) with Russia and an “all-round, high-quality, future-oriented partnership” (全方位高质量的前瞻性伙伴关系) with Singapore.
