Putin Arrives in Beijing as Russia Seeks to Deepen Its Strategic Partnership with China

Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting China to discuss mutual strategic interests with his counterpart President Xi Jinping. In an official joint statement, the two leaders described themselves as "prioroity partners." It was only a week ago that Xi was in France, where President Macron and other EU leaders pressed him to exert influence on Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Robert Daly, Director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, provides an overview of the significance of this meeting. He provides insights into how China and Russia will seek to protect themselves from Western sanctions, strengthen their partnership, and why it’s important to look for cracks in the evolving alliance between China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.

You talking like that US is still dominated the world, you should look at your own behavior, how many countries dislike US double standards.

Instead of fighting 1 rival, US now has 2 rivals combining forces. US has to bring Ukraine to the talking table and negotiate peace deal with Russia.

the sanctions have backfired what are they fighting for?

What EU security concern? You mean decades of Russia's concern of NATO encirclement to her territory is not a security concern? (and yet was totally ignored?). Putin suggested joining NATO but yet rejected? Now, taste your own security medicine.
