President Xi Jinping: No single country should dictate the International Order. China is ready to expand trade with Russia

This visit is pivotal, making a profound statement on where China stand with Russia.
According to RT, “the Chinese President Xi Jinping has given his thoughts on the shifting nature of geopolitics ahead of his trip to Moscow. In an article published on Sunday by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Xi writes, ‘The world today is going through profound changes unseen in a century.’ The prevailing trends of world multipolarity, economic globalization and greater democracy in international relations are irreversible,’ continues the president, likely a nod to escalating tensions with Washington over the Ukraine crisis and US interference in China’s sovereignty over Taiwan. The international community, says Xi, has ‘recognized that no country is superior to others, no model of governance is universal, and no single country should dictate the international order. The common interest of all humankind is in a world that is united and peaceful, rather than divided and volatile.”
President Putin said cooperation between Russia and China helps to consolidate the principles underpinning the world order.
In the three days long visit to Russia, President Xi Jinping reaffirm it’s alliance with Russia stating on Tuesday March 21 that China is ready to expand cooperation with Russia in trade, investment, supply chain, mega projects, energy and hi-tech areas.

Both men also reiterate that Russia is open to negotiations with Ukraine. Putin stated they will discuss China’s peace initiative – Putin to Xi Jinping. President Xi in an unwavering statement said, We (China) Firmly Stand On The Right Side Of History — On The Conflict In Ukraine. Xi Jinping said he is an unbiased broker on the Ukraine war and his only goal is to support peace between Russia and Ukraine.
