“We highly value the balanced position of our Chinese friends when it comes to the Ukraine crisis,” Putin said. “We understand your questions and concerns about this. During today’s meeting, we will of course explain our position.”
During the meeting, the two bonded over their mutual dislike of Washington, with Putin accusing the US of launching a “provocation” in the Taiwan strait. He reiterated support for the “one China” policy, which denies Taiwan’s sovereignty.
Xi reciprocated, saying China was “willing to work with Russia to demonstrate the responsibility of big powers” and to “instil stability and positive energy in a world of chaos”.
Putin explicitly backed China over Taiwan, which Beijing claims is a Chinese province it will retake by force if necessary.
