More than a year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s meeting with Putin will be watched closely for indications of how far China is willing to go to act as a mediator in the conflict. Why China and Russia are closer than ever:
Xi Jinping, China’s leader, is scheduled to meet with President Vladimir Putin of Russia in Moscow this week in the most high-profile visit by any world leader to Russia since before the pandemic.
The two countries have also been competing for influence in Central Asia, a region the Kremlin has long seen as its turf but is becoming increasingly important to China’s geopolitical and economic ambitions. China is building more railroads, highways and energy pipelines in former Soviet republics such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which still rely on Russia as a crucial security partner.
At the start of the Ukraine war, Russia asked China for military equipment and economic assistance, according to U.S. officials. U.S. officials have recently said that China is considering giving weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine, a claim that China has denied. Last September, after Putin and Xi met in person, Putin acknowledged that China had expressed “questions and concerns” about the war in Ukraine.Xi wants Putin to join him as a like-minded ally in confronting U.S. and Western dominance.
