Putin and Xi Meet to Showcase Russia-China Alliance Against US Dominance

Russian President Vladimir Putin visiting Beijing this week to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping, underscoring their shared vision against US dominance.

The meeting comes as geopolitical divisions harden after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Israel's conflict with Hamas.

China and Russia have criticized Israel's actions and called for a ceasefire, contrasting with the US support for Israel.

The meeting allows Putin to shift focus away from Ukraine and Xi to project China's global ambitions at the Belt and Road Forum.

Despite China claiming neutrality on Ukraine, it remains a key lifeline for sanctioned Russia, deepening ties across trade, military, and diplomacy.
