Xi prepares to welcome Putin to China four days after hosting Trump

Chinese leader Xi Jinping will host Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing on May 20-21, just four days after welcoming former US President Donald Trump for a high-stakes summit. The back-to-back visits highlight Beijing's growing prominence in global diplomacy; meanwhile, China's deepening economic and diplomatic ties with Russia—including record fossil fuel purchases supporting Moscow's Ukraine war efforts—remain a concern for Western nations, with analysts suggesting energy security amid potential Taiwan conflict could be a key focus of the Xi-Putin talks.
