Relations between Russia and China
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has begun to actively develop its ties with China. Beijing even refused to join the sanctions imposed by the US and the EU against the Russian Federation as an aggressor country.
In addition, Russia and China have agreed on possible joint military exercises, which are planned to be held this year.
US President Joe Biden advised Chinese leader Xi Jinping to be “cautious” in dealing with Moscow.
“I said it’s not a threat. It’s an observation,” Biden said.
