Russia-China trade climbed to $200 billion in the last year, Putin said.
to boil over in the Middle East, Chinese President Xi Jinping held court in Beijing for visiting dignitaries, presenting his vision of "an open, inclusive and interconnected world" through his signature global infrastructure project, the Belt and Road Initiative, while taking veiled swipes at the United States and its Western allies.
The Belt and Road Initiative was initially proposed to increase the connectivity between China and the European markets, building linkages through countries across the Eurasian continents, recreating a modern silk road. A decade on, however, Western countries, including the United States, largely shunned the project, criticizing it as debt-trap diplomacy.
With representation from Western countries absent or not invited to forum, the void allowed Chinese and Russian state media coverage of the event to portray that it is the West that is decoupling from the rest of the world. China and Russia have increasingly tailored their messaging for the Global South including in their response to Hamas' attack and Israel's retaliation.
Putin characterized the talks as "productive" and "constructive," covering the two countries' bilateral relations and the unfolding events in the Middle East without giving more details. The Chinese statement said, "the two heads of state also exchanged in-depth views on the situation in Palestine and Israel" without elaborating.
That cross-border trade between the two neighbors is growing. Putin commented Wednesday that the trade turnover between the two neighbors reached $200 billion in the last year.
