Over the years, they have forged a strong partnership. The Chinese President has met Putin in person 39 times since he swore in as his country’s leader in November 2012 and even described Putin as a best friend in 2019.
During a virtual meeting in Dec. 2022, the Russian President said the relations with China were the best in his country's history, stressing that they could "withstand all tests".

Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry, rejected this accusation, stressing that China has always taken a prudent and responsible attitude toward military exports.
“Beijing will maintain its objective and just position on war and play a constructive role in promoting peace talks between Ukraine and Russia,” he stated, stressing that relations between Beijing and Moscow do not threaten any country.
"Xi’s visit to Russia will be peaceful. It will focus on deepening the friendship between the two countries. Presidents Xi and Putin will exchange views on common concerns and continue to push forward projects such as the New Silk Road and the Eurasian Economic Union," Wang highlighted.
"The neoliberal model of alleged domination over the world's peoples is exhausted."
