Vladimir Putin tried to engage Xi Jinping with eye-contact during their meeting today, but it is clear that the Chinese president is the senior partner in the relationship between the world leaders, according to a body language expert.

But amid the deepening partnership between the two nations, body language expert and author of 26 books on the subject Judi James said the meeting was perhaps more one-sided than Putin would want the world to believe.
The Russian employed subtle ways to show the bond between the two despots, Ms James said. But Xi, she noted, 'didn't get the memo.'
'One leader will put themselves out in terms of travel or how far they walk to greet their guest, or employ dominance signals like Trump's infamous 'Power shakes' or even power-patting,' she explained.
However, she added: 'When world leaders want to show active and often strategic alliances there will often be mutual body language acts of ingratiation to signal profound bonding to the rest of the world.
'Putin clearly takes heed of these rituals here but Xi's responses suggest he didn't get the memo or read the rule books in terms of mutually active ingratiation rituals.
'There are clearly cultural differences to take into consideration, but the overall result makes Putin look keener to ingratiate and show bonds [with his counterpart] here than a [...] higher status-looking Xi does,' who Ms James says was 'merely polite'.

Are you a “fake but accurate cartoon” expert, attempting to manufacture news like your hero “body language expert”?
ROFL. Pathetic.
The Russians have reduced the Ukranian army to shell of old men, young boys, and women. The Ukraine is going to collapse in months and the Ukrainians will murder your hero Zelensky if they can get their hands on the CIA puppet.
Russia is doing badly economically, and Putin depends on Chinese supplies and financial assistance.

$200 billion of US taxpayers used to prop up American oligarchs while they censor, imprison and kill Americas while flood America with a some 50 million illegal alien conquerors since 1988. Zeepers are bloodthirsty parasites.
That’s a huge development. The western media will try to bury it though. Stay tuned.
Yep, right on time. Demonize your foes, Putin first, now Xi….next up the Indian PM? ( the leaders of BRICS)… then on to the 40 other nations that applied for Brics entry.

Why is it we can’t watch this “war” on television, like we could Desert Storm 30 some years ago? Some of us would like to see our tax dollars in action.
China is much smarter, they attain strength through trade and commerce, not War, as we are seeing. The world is getting tired of the US’s forever wars.
Russia is doing badly economically,
