China has announced plans to expand "practical cooperation" with the Russian military. The announcement follows Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Moscow, where he attended the Victory Day parade commemorating the end of World War II. This was reported by TASS News and Arab News on Thursday, May 15.
According to the report, Xi visited Russia to participate in the 80th Victory Day celebrations, marking the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazi forces. Russia observes Victory Day annually on May 9. The announcement came after discussions between Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin on bilateral relations and key international and regional issues.
Over the past few years, China-Russia ties have grown stronger, particularly since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Ukraine’s allies have accused China of supporting Russia economically and politically to sustain the war effort. However, China has repeatedly denied these claims, asserting its commitment to peace efforts.
The announcement has sparked fresh tensions in Western diplomatic circles. Experts believe it could add a new dimension to the global balance of power. China and Russia appear to be strengthening their alliance to counter NATO and Western influence. Meanwhile, the China-Taiwan issue further complicates the situation. Taiwan recently conducted successful tests of its domestically developed missiles and enjoys strong support from the United States. Analysts suggest that deeper China-Russia ties could heighten concerns for the U.S.
