China and Russia: Four Centuries of Conflict and Concord is a non-fiction book by Philip Snow.

The book examines the historical relationship between China and Russia over a span of four centuries.

The book took nearly half a century to complete, and its origins can be traced back to a paper titled "Sino-Russian Relations from 1644 to the Present," which was originally written as part of Snow's final exams at the University of Oxford in the mid-1970s.

"[3] Peter Gordon, the editor of the Asian Review of Books writes, "Snow himself is somewhat reticent to nail those patterns down but the overall impression is of a relatively feckless, ambivalent and inconsistent Russia compared with a more self-aware, clear- (if often steely-) eyed China, even during those periods when Russia seemed to hold the upper hand.

"[2] Denis Staunton, the China Correspondent of The Irish Times writes, “Snow navigates this huge panorama with a fluency and a lightness of touch that makes his book a wonderfully readable guide.”[4] Jerry Lenaburg writes for the New York Journal of Books, "Philip Snow offers a comprehensive history of the constantly changing, always tumultuous, and ever complicated interactions between these two countries that share the world’s sixth largest border.
