Putin’s China Visit: Xi Showcases “Unyielding” Alliance
The proposed “Power of Siberia 2” project could strengthen Russia’s energy exports to China.

The proposed “Power of Siberia 2” project could strengthen Russia’s energy exports to China.

This week Beijing’s foreign ministry welcomed Putin on his 25th visit to China.

Mixed messaging from the White House has prompted Republic of China officials to seek clarification after Trump Beijing visit.

Europe’s main concern is not Taiwan or Iran, but a potential agreement on critical minerals and market access between China and the United States.

Trump said “a lot of good” had come out of the visit, without detailing the agreements.

The U.S. president described his talks with Xi as highly constructive.

The meeting at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People ran for more than two hours, marking the first U.S. presidential visit to China in almost ten years.

Brussels has spent years talking about “strategic autonomy,” but the Trump–Xi summit may expose just how dependent Europe still is on foreign powers.

The U.S. president is scheduled to meet Chinese president Xi Jinping, with discussions likely to focus on trade, technology competition, and global security issues.

While Sino-U.S. talks are expected to focus heavily on trade, regional tensions are never far away.
