So relevant and topical.
I'm sure you'll get back to the Russian foreign ministry on on your next job coming up any moment now.
What an incredible journey.
So diving into the Sino Russian relationship, I think before twenty twenty two, when this big no limits moment happened in the relationship, a lot of people would have found it quite improbable that the two countries could overcome the longstanding points of tension in their relationship.
And I mean
Like quite significant tension, like moments when the Russians were thinking about nuking China at various points in the Sino-Soviet split.
But let's say tension in the relationship to get to a point where the two saw each other as real partners.
So let's start with that friction, at least historically.
What were the key difficulties in the Sino-Russian relationship?
It's a great point.
It often seems like from the Chinese side, I mean the Russia relationship is viewed as much of a question of domestic stability as international affairs.
Like it's not just about Russia, it's about Putin's Russia and the political system that goes along with that, providing something of a buffer for Xi as he thinks about
Stability and regime security.
And I think maybe that's part of why it often looks like this is a relationship that is so leader driven, where Putin and Xi seem to really drive.
And most recently they met in Beijing this May and
She has taken only, I think, three international trips over the past year and one of them was to to Moscow.
So when you're looking at these summits, at the two leaders engaging together today, what do you look for to better understand the overall direction of the relationship now that they've largely put these historical irritants aside and decided to forge ahead together?
A classic of Chinese diplomacy.
And when we're looking at China's support for the Russian war effort in Ukraine, I think we've seen a systematic effort to provide.
As much as possible in terms of tool use inputs to the Russian Defense Industrial Base supports with sanctions evasion, but still stopping just short of wherever China seems to calculate they would face a real rupture, like an irreversible rupture or an unacceptable level of sanctions risk on the big banks there in their relations with the West.
