  1. China just expanded their territory…all the way to Moscow

  2. I mean Xi is taller…

    Ahhh the story of Putlit and Pooh

  3. Putin might have to pay a steep price for China’s support. He is the supplicant begging for help and Xo will be fully aware of that

  4. This seems to imply that the war in Ukraine is actually China vs NATO, which is a bit scarier than Russia vs NATO.

  6. Russia and China have a geopolitical rivalry going back centuries. The Russian Bear have always been a threat to Chinese dynasties and these two countries came close to nuclear war with each other than with the US.

  8. China is the only true winner from the Ukraine v Russia war.

  10. It’s actually funny if you think about it. The narrative of Russia over the last half century was “we’re so strong we can thrive while independent”.

    I guess not.

  12. The claim in the headline is not backed by information in the article. It is only the speculative part.

  13. >He said that his family were learning Mandarin – this was particularly noteworthy because he very rarely talks about his children in public.

    I would say that was more weird than noteworthy, I don’t think anyone believes that anyway. Putin is not really a family man, this was most likely just another opportunistic lie.

  14. I wonder when Putin will give up the last crown jewels of what Beijing really wants: military tech.

    Before all this, it was a love hate relationship as the Chinese would steal the tech from all licensed built jets/tanks.  They have yet to master cutting edge jet engines however and the Russians could be key in bridging that last hurdle

  16. Putin in his fantasies of bringing back the Soviet empire has actually brought back the Principality of Moscow, but this time it’s China and not the Golden Horde that’s gonna make the Russians their slaves. Funny that.

  17. Russia a has a GDP the size of Greece. Not hard to see who is the stronger of the two countries.

  18. Putin is so afraid of being invaded by NATO he was just eaten up by China.

  19. I made a comment on here at the start of the conflict that China was the real winner (or something like that). If they support Russia and Russia wins, they have an ally who expanded territory. If they support Russia and Russia loses, then they’ll collect on debts owed and Russia is in service to China for years.

  20. I’m sure it’s a hard pill to swallow for Pootin. For how much boasting and bragging Russians do about their limitless power, they just don’t seem to realize that they are the vassal to China …. not the other way around. If Xi tells Pootin to jump, he will ask “how high sir?” Most Russians still believe that their position on the world stage is equal to China and more importantly, the US and the EU. They just don’t realize how low on the important scale they are. With a GDP that is a bit more than Italies, it doesn’t bode well for Russia’s position on the global “importance” totem pole.

    All that Russia has is natural resources. That’s their entire economy. They have heavy industries too, but it’s primarily domestic only. Pootin sure boxed himself in here, his horrific and foolish invasion of Ukraine, which has gone very bad and now his reliance in China to keep Russia propped up. He wants to build a “Great Russian Empire,” which means seizing countries and territory. This man is living in the wrong time period.

  21. The funny fact is that Western governments were courting Russia in all possible ways for last 20 years to deny its alliance with China. Now this pathetic “strategy” is totally fu$€d up.

  23. Won’t that actually make china insanely strong ? They won’t stop just at russia , they want domination of the whole world.

  24. Xi looks like he is smelling dog shit every time he has to shake hands with Putin.

  25. Russia is not a true friend of China, just like most world leaders they use their position to try to inflict their influence. Russia is a puppet in China’s eyes, a weak ally that is stuck in a stalemate.

  26. at this point Russia gonna be vessel state for Greater China

  27. “He said that his family were learning Mandarin – this was particularly noteworthy because he very rarely talks about his children in public.

    He declared that he and Mr Xi were “as close as brothers”

    Pathetic groveller. I wonder how his ultra-nationalist base thinks of his newfound love affair with China?

  28. Every time I fear China or Russia is getting big and scary, I get reminded maybe not after seeing them partner together for anything.

  29. Is that like the equal partnership between the UK and the US?

    The BBC never dissapoints when it comes to their lack of introspection.

    LMAO!
