Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Xi Jinping To Host Putin Days After Trump Visit
Caption: Xi Jinping To Host Putin Days After Trump Visit. Xi Jinping is preparing to welcome Vladimir Putin to Beijing just days after hosting Donald Trump for high-level talks. Chinese state media said Xi and Putin exchanged congratulatory messages ahead of the Russian leader’s two-day visit to China this week. Xi reportedly praised the growing strategic partnership between China and Russia, describing bilateral cooperation as increasingly strong and stable. Chinese media highlighted the back-to-back visits by the US and Russian presidents as evidence that Beijing is becoming a central hub for global diplomacy. Western governments remain concerned about China’s close ties with Russia, particularly Beijing’s economic and diplomatic support for Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Trade between China and Russia has surged in recent years, with China becoming one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil and fossil fuels. Analysts believe energy security and tensions surrounding Taiwan could play a major role in discussions between Xi and Putin. Russia is also continuing to push China to approve the proposed “Power of Siberia 2” pipeline, which would significantly expand gas exports between the two countries.
