Xi and Putin Strengthen Alliance, Sending a Clear Message to Trump..!!
The growing alliance between Xi J and Vladimir Putin is posing a serious challenge to the United States, particularly drawing concern from Donald Trump. Xi’s recent four-day visit to Russia, marked by military parades and joint declarations, reinforced the “no-limits” partnership they declared in 2022, just before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
With nearly 30 world leaders in attendance, Xi’s presence provided Putin with critical global backing, countering Western efforts to isolate Russia. Both leaders called for a “new balance of power” that reduces American dominance, with Putin describing the relationship as “equal and mutually beneficial” and Xi reaffirming his bond with Putin as an “old friend.”
During the Victory Day celebrations, Putin used historical symbolism—linking WWII’s defeat of Nazi Germany to his current war in Ukraine—to highlight unity with China. Chinese troops marching in the parade further emphasized this front.
Experts suggest this public alliance signals a turn away from diplomacy with the West. China continues to aid Russia economically by purchasing oil and supplying critical tech components, helping it withstand sanctions. Xi’s comments about promoting “multipolar economic globalization” reinforce the long-term strategic intent of the partnership.
Meanwhile, Trump has acknowledged the possibility of reducing tariffs on Chinese goods, calling upcoming US-China trade talks “very friendly.” His shift reflects growing awareness of the strengthening Xi-Putin alliance, which is underpinned by strong personal ties and a shared geopolitical vision.
