Putin Arrives in China on a Mission to Deepen the Partnership with Xi Jinping

ai generated text

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to make his first state visit to China since his re-election, where he will seek more support from Chinese leader Xi Jinping to resist Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The two leaders declared a "no limits" partnership in February 2022, and Putin's visit comes amid global consternation over the ongoing Ukraine war. According to some reports, Putin is trying to escalate his war in Ukraine before Ukrainian forces can receive a replenishment of weapons and ammunition from the United States. China has been a crucial backer of Russia's actions in Ukraine, providing economic support after Western sanctions were imposed on Moscow. The sanctions targeted politicians and oligarchs, curbed access to Western technology, and cut Russian banks off from Swift international payment messaging system.

    1. This is Putin's first trip after his inauguration, and it is therefore intended to show that Sino-Russian relations are moving up another level.

    1. China is ready to work with Russia to stay each other's good neighbour, good friend and good partner.

    1. Together we stand for principles of equality, fairness and a world order that reflects the multipolar reality.
    2. It was the unprecedentedly high level of the strategic partnership between our countries that determined my choice of China as the first state that I would visit after officially taking office as president of the Russian Federation.
    3. We are working to contribute to the development and prosperity of Russia and China by enhancing equal, mutually beneficial economic and humanitarian co-operation, and strengthen foreign policy co-ordination in the interests of building a just multipolar world order.

    1. Russia would not have enough trucks, chips, drones or intermediate goods without Beijing because China is the only country exporting those goods to Russia right now.
    2. The payments for trade with Russia are made in Renminbi [Chinese currency] through the Chinese international payment system, so the transactions are harder to trace.
    3. The US has been successful in forcing Chinese banks not to finance exports to Russia.
