Podcast: What’s Behind Xi Jinping’s Visit to Moscow?

Following Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s three-day visit to Moscow, this episode of the podcast is devoted to the ever-evolving relationship between Russia and China.

Published on March 24, 2023

Why did Xi Jinping choose to visit Moscow at a time when Russia has been ostracized by the global community for its invasion of Ukraine? Did both sides get what they wanted from the visit? Has Russia resigned itself to being the junior partner in this burgeoning relationship? What is China’s agenda in putting forward a peace plan for Ukraine? Podcast host Alexander Gabuev is joined by Yanmei Xie, a geopolitics analyst at Gavekal Research, and Vita Spivak, an analyst at Control Risks and non-resident senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
