Vladimir Putin will visit China in the near future. His visit to Xi Jinping will likely be driven by the need to strengthen trade relations and the distribution of influence in Asia. However, China understands that cooperation with the strong West is strategically more profitable than with Russia, which is losing its authority in all areas. Political scientist Alexey Buryachenko told 24 Channelthat Xi Jinping's support for Russia will decrease. He noted that Putin is flying to China to resolve the current positions of power in the Asian space, because China is now dominant there. Chinese banks are beginning to refuse to service companies from Russia, which cuts off the sources of smuggling of the aggressor country. Xi Jinping is trying to avoid global sanctions, because China’s economy largely depends on Western investment. China, of course, will consume raw materials from Russia. He will exploit Putin's weak state. It is important for the Chinese leader to strengthen political and economic relations throughout Asia. And in the near future, he plans to enter the largest economic market in the world – the European Union,” Buryachenko emphasized. In the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, Russian influence is gradually decreasing, and China is taking the initiative. Iran and China call themselves partners Russia, but this looks very funny, because these countries use Russia’s enormous raw materials and technological capabilities in the military field. “Everything is in order to realize one’s interests,” the political scientist said. He also added that for other countries Russia has no longer become a desirable geopolitical player, in particular in the once traditional her zones of influence. < ul class="ai-exclude" dir="ltr"> China is using Russia
