It was a tale of two arrivals in Beijing. Within days of each other, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin received elaborate red-carpet welcomes in the Chinese capital, complete with military honours, flag-waving children, and top Chinese officials lining the tarmac. Yet one detail stood out — Chinese President Xi Jinping personally skipped both airport receptions. Attention is now shifting to Wednesday’s Xi-Putin summit, expected to project unity and strategic closeness as global tensions deepen. The meeting comes as China continues to emerge as Russia’s most important diplomatic and economic partner amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
