Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting China to strengthen ties with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump's diplomatic trip to Beijing. The visit aligns with the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship and focuses on deepening economic cooperation and addressing global and regional issues.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping is set to host his 'old friend' Vladimir Putin less than a week after Donald Trump's high-profile visit, as Beijing seeks to project itself as a stable and predictable power in a world shaken by trade tensions, wars, and an energy crisis.
