China/Russia Cooperation?

China will launch its first Mars probe and it is scheduled to be launched on top of a Russian rocket by 2009. The probe should reach Mars by 2010 and resembles a weather orbiter that has two solar panels on either side of a cubic shape. This probe will be equipped with 7 scientific devices. 

Who would have thought a few decades ago that China and Russia would be combining resources and traveling to Mars?
