The article is devoted to the development of dynamic capabilities and legitimacy of Russian firms through exploiting the cooperative ties with the Chinese diaspora.

China and Russia have maintained close economic and political relations for many decades, which stimulated an active migration of Chinese citizens to the Russian Federation and the development of the diaspora in this country. These ties were further strengthened because of the imposition of economic sanctions, which limited the opportunity of Russia cooperation with Western countries. As a result, China's role in the Russian economy has grown, as evidenced by close investment cooperation, increased trade flows, a positive perception by Russians of China and the Chinese, and an increase in the number of Chinese enterprises in Russia. The article suggests ideas and insights on how Russian companies might strengthening advantages and developing dynamic capabilities through interaction with the Chinese diaspora.
