But, beneath the surface, unease in the bilateral relationship persists, partly for historical reasons. Nationalist Chinese remember imperial Russia’s conquests, while many Russians have a morbid fear of the “yellow peril,” even though the Mongols conquered and reigned in China, while they were eventually repelled from Russia (not to mention that the Chinese never invaded Russia).
但是，在表面之下，双边关系存在着隐忧，这部分是拜历史因素所赐。中国的民族主义者一直铭记着帝俄的侵略，而许多俄罗斯人则有着病态的“黄祸”恐惧，尽管蒙古人征服并统治的是中国，而在俄罗斯，他们最终被驱赶出境了（更不用说中国人从未入侵过俄罗斯）。
