Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a signal to Western countries during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. This was reported on May 20 by the newspaper L'antidiplomatico (AD).

"For Putin, the political message is clear: Russia and China are pursuing an independent and sovereign foreign policy, acting in close strategic coordination and playing an important stabilizing role on the world stage," the publication says.

The leaders of the two countries discussed cooperation between the states. Following the negotiations, a joint declaration and about forty intergovernmental, interdepartmental and corporate documents were signed.

American journalist Rick Sanchez noted on May 20 that Western countries fear the growing global influence of Putin and Xi Jinping. According to him, Western sanctions, pressure and thinking in the logic of the "cold war 2.0" have only strengthened the Russian-Chinese partnership.

CNN reported on the same day that Putin's visit to China was friendlier than the recent trip by US President Donald Trump. It is clarified that Xi Jinping, at a meeting with Putin in Beijing, called relations between Russia and China a force of "calm in the midst of chaos."
