AD called the Putin-Xi Jinping summit a signal of declining U.S. influence
The talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing sent a signal to the world community about the declining influence of the United States. The publication AntiDiplomatico (AD) writes about this.
"The political message of the summit is clear: China and Russia intend to present themselves as the driving force behind an alternative international order other than the one dominated by the United States," the publication says.
The article notes that the meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping marks a new qualitative leap in the strategic partnership between Russia and China. This is not just a bilateral meeting, but a step designed to have a profound impact on global balance during the decline of the Western unipolar order and the emergence of new centers of power.
The publication emphasizes that both countries have almost completely abandoned the dollar and the euro in their trade, using the ruble and the yuan as their main currencies. This transformation is aimed at reducing dependence on Western financial infrastructure and increasing economic resilience to potential new sanctions.
American journalist Rick Sanchez noted on May 20 that Western countries fear the growing global influence of Putin and Xi Jinping. According to him, Western sanctions, pressure and thinking in the logic of the "cold war 2.0" have only strengthened the Russian-Chinese partnership.
CNN reported on the same day that Putin's visit to China was friendlier than the recent trip by US President Donald Trump. It was noted that Xi Jinping, at a meeting with Putin in Beijing, called relations between Russia and China a force of calm in the midst of chaos.
