“Russian President Vladimir Putin, alongside his ‘dear friend’ Chinese President Xi Jinping, championed the duo’s ‘unprecedentedly high’ ties as the U.S. and Europe remain strained over Moscow’s war in Ukraine. The Beijing-based meeting once again cemented the increased unity the adversarial nations have pursued following Putin’s 2022 invasion and comes one day ahead of a major military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. … Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who first traveled to China on Sunday for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), met with Xi on Tuesday and called the looming UN sanctions targeting its nuclear program a ‘double standard.’ … North Korean leader Kim Jong Un also arrived in China on Tuesday after his armored train was seen arriving in Bejing where he was then met by Chinese officials, like Foreign Minister Wang Yi, reported Reuters.” (09/02/25)
