[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] A researcher from a western think tank pointed out that Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Russia a few days ago to express his support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, but this visit also highlights the relationship between China and Russia. Not reciprocally, Russia may become more and more dependent on China in the future.

"Agence France-Presse" reported that Liana Fix, a European researcher at the American think tank Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), pointed out: "Xi Jinping's visit has encouraged Putin, especially after the arrest warrant was issued in The Hague."

Fix also said that Xi intends to give Putin more time so that the war can end in Russia's favor. "Of course, Putin would want more, especially the gas deal with China, but this visit Influence is extremely important to him, so he also accepts Russia's increasing dependence on China."

Tatiana Jean, director of the Russia Center at the French Institute for International Relations (IFRI), agrees, saying: "In the short term, Putin (power) has been strengthened by this visit, but in the long run Said, will be more dependent on China."

Sam Greene of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) described the visit as a "gift" from Xi Jinping to Putin, tweeting: "Basically Beijing is giving permission to continue fighting, but it is also Xi Jinping's only gift to Putin."

Jon Alterman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) pointed out: "Although Xi Jinping and Putin have many common interests, it is increasingly clear that this is not a partnership of equals."
