Xi-Willing To Give Support To Russia On Mutual Core Interests

CHINA-RUSSIA

Chinese state-run Xinhua has comments from Xi-Putin meeting hitting wires:

  • China's Xi tells Russia's Putin: China willing to give strong support to each other on issues concerning each other's core interests.
  • Xi: Both sides should strengthen coordination, cooperation within multilateral frameworks to safeguard security interests.
  • Xi: China is willing to deepen practical cooperation with Russia in trade, agriculture, connectivity and other fields.
  • Xi: China appreciates Russia's adherence to the one-China principle and stressed that Taiwan is a part of China. China firmly opposes 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces and external interference.
Comments regarding safeguarding security interests could raise eyebrows in the West. Phrase is vague so could refer to areas of joint interest such as Central Asia or the Korean peninsula, or could refer to broader rivalry both nations have with the United States and its allies.
