This mini-review focuses on the prospects and key areas of cooperation between Russia and China in studying the molecular nature of resistance in mite and insect pests to pesticides. Information on the most harmful species is presented for both countries, including their area and molecular genetic approaches to understanding resistance. The latter include examination of pesticide target gene polymorphism and pesticide detoxification gene expression. Such research is essential for monitoring the spread of pesticide resistance in insect and mite populations, as well as for selection of effective management strategies in both countries. In addition to scientific collaboration, an important objective is the joint training of scientific and pedagogical personnel in this research field. Collaborative efforts between the two countries, through joint research, experience exchange, and technology development, should result in a more efficient pesticide usage, reduced application costs, and increased crop yields, ultimately contributing to economic growth.
