Xi, Putin Condemn US ‘Bullying’ During Beijing Summit

Beijing, MINA – Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin used their latest summit in Beijing to reinforce political, economic, and strategic coordination between the two powers, while issuing indirect criticism of US foreign policy and Western pressure campaigns.

Quoted from Al-Mayadeen, during talks held on Wednesday in the Chinese capital, Xi said China and Russia must jointly oppose “all unilateral bullying and actions that reverse history,” in remarks widely interpreted as criticism of Washington’s escalating confrontational posture toward both countries.

According to Chinese state media, Xi warned that the current international climate is being shaped by “intertwined turbulence and transformation,” while “unilateral hegemonic currents are running rampant.”

The Chinese president stressed that Beijing and Moscow should deepen “comprehensive strategic coordination” in response to mounting global instability.

“We are truly delighted to see you,” Putin said. “We keep in constant touch, both personally and through our aides in the government.” []
