Did Putin and Xi accomplish their agendas at Beijing meeting? An analyst weighs in

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin met on Thursday (May 16) in Beijing. Analysts say keeping close ties with Russia as the Kremlin continues its war in Ukraine is a tricky balancing act for China, which faces risks of sanctions and trade restrictions from the West. On CNA's Asia First, China-Russia analyst Philipp Ivanov, founder of consulting practice Geopolitical Risks + Strategy Practice, gives a report card on how both leaders fared during the meeting.

The male host is just so clueless. Why would Russia and China waste time to talk about ending Ukr war when the master of Ukr has no desire to end the war?

[@ryanwalters6184]

Because he goes against China's interests in splitting the United States and the EU.

This guy keeps saying China supports to Russia as if Russia is a small country that needs support ignoring the fact Russia is selling and buying from China, it is called trade not support. an honest person will say China's trade with Russia, not support Russia

[@eymeeraosaka2954]

The male host said there is a lot of noise about peacemaking in Ukraine by Xi and Putin but neither offer any new peace proposal....? Makes me wonder whether this guy is reading from a given scrip because he doesn't know what he is talking about? China has a peace proposal which is acceptable to Putin but it was rejected outright by the US and NATO. Ukraine also has a "peace proposal" but in reality it was the terms of surrender for Russia. And this Ukraine "peace proposal" will be discussed in Switzerland in June. Russia is not invited. Briefly, the Ukraine "peace proposal" called for Russia to unconditionally withdraw completely from territories gained and occupied by Russia to date including Crimean and that Putin is to face trial for war crimes. 😂🤣😂 Seriously this is very poor standard of reporting.....

SG has its own self-interest. China has its own self-interest. Russia, USA has its own self-interest. Self-Interest is also used to justify massacres or wars. Question Yourselves: 1. Who defines self-interest of a Country? 2. What if self-interest of leader is sugar coated as self-interest of the country? 3. Since all countries do whats in their "Self-Interest" then no country can Blame another for doing what they do. 4. But each country deems the other as Wrong. This is because right or wrong is only personal opinion. Its not Absolute Right or Absolute Wrong. So, people who say USA is trying to stop CHINA from progressing. Whats wrong with that? Remember Self-Interest? Some say CHina is trying to overtake USA and thats wrong. Not true. Remember self-interest? So, when we say who is right or wrong, its not the absolute truth. Its only relative. So, can super powers do things to make small states toll their line under the reason of Self-Interest? Yes. Can small states dont cow to super power? If so, what is so super about super power? The small state becomes the super power👀🏳️🤭🫣😱🤣 English allows for flipping roti prata. Black is said to be white and vice versa.

Nope. The Collective West has always supported, armed and funded Islamofascist Pakistan to contain India. It is still waging covert war against India using various elements. India also wants hegemony of the dollar and American financial institutions hegemony to end, just as Russia - China. India will continue to have very good ties with Russia.
