In the wake of a turn of events leading to Ukraine’s upper hand in the war, Russia isn’t completely losing. Chinese PM Xi Jinping has been leaning towards his continental neighbour, and is ready to strengthen ties during this week’s visit. Boycotting US’s actions on Taiwan visit, China has been showcasing complete support to nuclear power Russia, which also provides it oil since past three months now. Jinping’s motive is to make ally of an unbudged power over USA to gain dominance, even if Russia loses the war, analysts speculate.
