According to China’s state media, Xi emphasized the partnership in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, on the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The leaders held the talks as US President Donald Trump push for a quick deal to end the Ukraine war, raising the prospect that Washington could draw a wedge between Xi and Putin and focus on competing with the world’s second largest economy.
They underscored the durability and the long-term nature of their alliance, with its own internal dynamics that would not be impacted by any third party.
“China-Russia relations have strong internal driving force and unique strategic value, and are not aimed at, nor are they influenced by, any third party.
“The development strategies and foreign policies of China and Russia are long-term,” said Xi
Recall that Trump alarmed Washington’s European allies by leaving them and Ukraine out of talks with Russia last week and blaming Ukraine for Russia’s 2022 invasion.
This is said to be the second call both leaders have held this year, after they discussed how to build ties with Trump in January.
