The timing of Putin's visit to Beijing really sends an unmistakable signal that China is not going to sacrifice its close relationship with Russia just for the sake of better ties with the US.
But it also shows how China is now moving much closer to the role Xi Jinping has always craved as the fulcrum of global geopolitics.
Yeah, it's a remarkably close relationship.
They've known each other for more than thirteen years now.
They've met something like forty times.
And in the past, we've seen some unusual displays of camaraderie.
They've swigged vodka together, they've made pancakes, they watched a hockey game.
And I think there's a genuine personal connection.
They have similar views on a lot of things.
I think similar views on history, the collapse of the Soviet Union.
They've definitely
Got a similar leadership style.
They're both very strong nationalist leaders.
But they also have this deep hostility towards Western liberal democracy and a determination to challenge the US-led global order that was established after the end of World War II, to basically give their countries greater say in world affairs, but also to allow them to survive as
Autocratic regimes.
That said, I think the balance of power and the relationship has really shifted dramatically since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine in twenty twenty-two, because Russia is now increasingly reliant on Chinese economic support as well as dual use materials that are needed for that war in Ukraine.
I think one of his main goals was probably to get a readout on the Trump visit to make sure that China and America aren't planning anything that might jeopardize Russian interests, especially in Ukraine.
He definitely wanted to ensure that China would continue to provide that economic support and dual use items like drones, electronics, engine parts that are needed for the war in Ukraine.
He probably wanted to coordinate positions on the war in the Middle East and American policy in Latin America and Asia.
And he got most of that.
