After Trump met with Xi Jinping, Russia wasted no time trying to show they were still close with China. Moscow doesn’t want to be left out as global power lines shift, and keeping Beijing as a dependable partner was at the top of their priority list. The three main concerns they had focused on were energy, trade, and security.
China responded with courtesy, but they kept their distance, valuing stability and economic relations with the West. As of now, it seems as if this was more of an act of showmanship, but you never know. If it becomes more than a cry for reassurance, major new deals could shift things around.

This feels like a strategic move by Russia to remind the world it still has diplomatic weight, even as China balances its ties with both the West and Moscow. It's interesting that China seems cautious, clearly prioritizing its own stability and trade over symbolic alliances. If deeper cooperation does emerge, it could complicate global energy and security dynamics in a big way.
