Putin's arrival in Beijing immediately after Trump talks about the deep ties between him and Xi. It is reported by the British The Guardian.
"The Russian leader's visit to China — the 25th, according to Chinese state media - reflects Beijing's growing confidence on the world stage as a center of global diplomacy. He also highlights the deep relationship between (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and Chinese Leader Xi Jinping. The two have met more than 40 times, which far exceeds Xi's meetings with any Western leaders," the publication says.
According to William Young, a senior analyst at the International Crisis Group, the meeting of the leaders of Russia and China is a kind of signal to US President Donald Trump. The expert believes that, "Xi probably wants to remind Trump that he has Beijing has other strong and reliable relationships that it can count on, so Washington will not be able to easily isolate or harm Beijing if it tries."
