Russian President Vladamir Putin has arrived in Beijing to discuss a "new world order".
SHARE:
President Putin has arrived in China to meet with President Xi Jinping as they unify in their desire to create a ‘new world order’.
The global dominance of America will be the focal point of the summit between the two nations, as they will look to align strategically and economically, in pursuit of “development” and “prosperity”.
This is the 43rd time the two leaders will have met, which is over double the number of times President Xi has met with any other world-leader.
President Putin’s trip to Beijing is the first time he left Russia since assuming a fifth term as leader in march.
Prior to the summit, Vladimir Putin told Chinese state media that the two nations were working towards a “multipolar world order”.
By this comment, Mr Putin is referring to a re-balance of power by distributing the global political dominance of the United States.
However, western leaders say that the vision a “multipolar world order” will mean that smaller, democratic countries close to China and Russia will be dominated by their geopolitical ambitions.
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden imposed trade tariffs against Chinese electronic vehicles and semiconductors.
In response, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that officials in the U.S were “losing their minds” in an effort to maintain global dominance.
He added that the new tariffs were “the most typical form of bullying in the world today!”
How will Ukraine feature at the Summit?
The Ukraine conflict has created a difference of opinion between Russia and China.
President Putin has claimed that Crimea and the Donbas region have are now Russian territory. However, China still maintain that these regions are Ukrainian.

China have been conflicted over the Ukraine war, as intensified pressure has simultaneously made NATO allies aware of the threat to Taiwan, undermining Chinese foreign policy ambitions.
Last year, President Xi revealed the ‘Chinese peace plan’, which sought to bring resolution to the conflict in the east of Ukraine.
On Thursday, Mr Putin said the two nations “never refused to negotiate” a peace deal for the conflict.
“We are open to a dialogue on Ukraine, but such negotiations must take into account the interests of all countries involved in the conflict, including ours,” Mr Putin said to Chinese state media.
Speaking alongside the Russian leader, President Xi said “China hopes for the early return of Europe to peace and stability and will continue to play a constructive role toward this.”
For the Chinese, they say there are “no limits” to their co-operation with Russia, and although the Ukraine conflict creates a complex foreign policy dilemma, a strong Russian offensive will weaken western strength and ultimately fulfil the Chinese ambitions.
