Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping each face challenges at home, but they have linked arms to confront the U.S. and the West.

RIGA, Latvia — As Russian President Vladimir Putin flies to Beijing to meet his strongest, most crucial ally — Chinese President Xi Jinping — the leaders are each hobbled by crises of their own making: Russia’s disastrous war on Ukraine; and China’s economic stumbles that have frayed confidence in Xi’s management.
“This relationship is actually deeper and more robust now two years after the war, than it was before the war. And it is happening much more on Chinese terms,” said Alexander Gabuev, a China and Russia expert at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center.Gabuev said Russia and China are growing closer amid Putin’s war-related problems and Xi’s economic difficulties, as both confront the United States.
The two will hold one-on-one meetings on Wednesday, according to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. Putin is also due to address the Belt and Road summit, which is marking 10 years of Xi’s massive global infrastructure project.that the two leaders signed early last year — when Putin attended the Olympics in Beijing just before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — has quietly grown stronger.
In August, Russia and China teamed up in the U.N. Security Council to block a unified response to North Korea’s spate of ballistic missile tests, as Washington warned of a growing nuclear threat from Pyongyang.
