Putin and Xi say they 'intend' to play a role in US-Iran nuclear negotiations.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for formal talks on Thursday for the first time since President Donald Trump exacerbated the U.S.-China trade war last month.

In a statement at the top of the meeting, Xi pledged to stand by his anti-Western ally against "power politics" and "bullying on the international stage."

"Eighty years ago, the peoples of China and Russia made tremendous sacrifices to secure a great victory, contributing an indelible chapter to the cause of world peace and human progress," Xi said, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.

"Today, in the face of unilateralist backflows and acts of power politics and bullying on the international stage, China will join Russia in shouldering our special responsibilities as major countries and permanent members of the U.N. Security Council," he added.

China’s whiny baby statements in Moscow today show that Xi is really sweating the pressure from President Trump.

President Putin likely called Trump to ask him for permission to stand with Xi on this issue just for optics only. 6D chess in the flesh

Not just buddy, the left has accused Trump of being a Putin puppet.

Bullies don’t leave people alone. The US is not a bully; it just wants and needs to uncouple with China and CCP.
China is the one that lies, cheats, steals and spies on its trading partners.
