As Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have continue their meeting in China, the world is watching to see what their self-proclaimed "no-limits" partnership will mean for the future of Ukraine. Xi and Putin have a longstanding agreement to visit each other’s countries annually, and Xi was welcomed at the Kremlin last year. The two are ostensibly set to focus on trade and cultural exchanges during day two of Putin's state visit to China, and the Russian leader has used public remarks to emphasise the importance of Russia-China cooperation in jointly developing new tec...

Xi Jinping arrived in Europe earlier this week lugging some heavy economic baggage. With foreign direct investment into China plunging 82% to just $33 billion (€30.5bn) in 2023 — a three-decade low — one might have expected Xi's tour to be a full-fledged charm offensive aimed at wooing back skittish European investors and businesses. However, the authoritarian leader's trip was anything but charming. Rather than candidly address the headwinds battering China's economy and appease anxious trading partners, Xi doubled down on the same tone deaf tactics that have defined his authoritarian rule fo...

The Chinese president has arrived in Budapest early Thursday, the third and last stop of his European visit. During his three-day stay, Xi Jinping and his delegation are expected to conclude a series of economic agreements with Budapest, as China sees Hungary as an important bridgehead in conquering European markets: among other things, Chinese companies are building electric car and battery factories. The two sides are expected to sign 16 agreements, while another two are still being negotiated. The deals include Hungarian infrastructural developments and railway, road and energy projects rel...

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Hungary on Wednesday, marking the end of his five-day European tour. His visit is set to solidify numerous agreements with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, further strengthening China's regional economic influence.

During his stop in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron and EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen urged Xi Jinping to promote more balanced trade with Europe and use his influence on Russia to address the conf...

Chinese leader Xi Jinping continued his European tour by visiting ally Serbia on Tuesday. The trip falls on a symbolic date: the 25th anniversary of the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during NATO's intervention over Kosovo. US jets dropped five bombs on the Chinese Embassy compound in the Serbian capital on 7 May 1999. Three Chinese nationals were killed, and 20 others were injured. Xi referenced the bombing directly in an op-ed published in Serbia’s Politika newspaper on Tuesday, where he wrote, “We must not forget that 25 years ago today, NATO brazenly bombed the Chinese Embassy ...

France’s president hosted China’s leader at a remote mountain pass in the Pyrenees on Tuesday for private meetings after Xi visited Paris, in a trip dominated by trade disputes and Russia’s war in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron made a point of inviting Chinese President Xi Jinping to the Tourmalet Pass near the Spanish border, where Macron spent time as a child visiting his grandmother. The invitation was intended as a reciprocal gesture, after Xi took Macron to the residence of the governor of Guangdong province, where the Chinese president’s father once lived, last year. The windi...

Chinese and Serbian flags were hoisted in Belgrade on Tuesday for the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Coming after a stop Paris, Xi's state visit to Serbia coincides with the 25th anniversary of the 1999 bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, which was hit by a US Air Force strike during NATO's campaign in Kosovo in 1999. The bombing was eventually acknowledged by Washington as a mistake, but it remains a sore point in Sino-American relations. "To some extent, the memory [of the bombing] is kept artificially alive, so that it can be solicited whenever it is deemed necessary, to p...
