The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping promotes trade and strengthens cooperation between Russia and China, including in the energy and technology sectors. This was announced on May 21 by former American Congressman, Democrat Dennis Kucinich.

"The meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping underscores the importance of leaders who seek mutual benefits through cooperation in the context of a gradual realization of multipolarity. <...> The immediate benefits are trade and technology exchange. Prerequisites have been created for further cooperation in the energy sector," he said in an interview with TASS.

According to Kucinich, the American authorities should take into account that the development of international relations is moving away from a unilateral approach and unipolarity. He clarified that progress is possible only through consideration of common interests and recognition of common humanity.

In addition, the former congressman noted that the war against Iran demonstrates an inability to understand the changed world reality, and violence reflects the worst aspects of human nature.

CNN reported on May 20 that Putin's visit to China was friendlier than the recent trip by US President Donald Trump. It is clarified that Chinese President Xi Jinping, at a meeting with Putin in Beijing, called relations between Russia and China a force of "calm in the midst of chaos."

The Guardian newspaper reported on May 20 that the meeting between the Russian leader and the Chinese president four days after the visit of the American leader Donald Trump to Beijing indicates a strong relationship between Putin and Xi Jinping. William Yang, a senior analyst at the International Crisis Group, suggested that in this way the Chinese president wants to remind the American leader that Beijing has other strong and reliable relations. For this reason, Washington will not be able to easily isolate or harm China.
