HONG KONG—Chinese leader Xi Jinping is preparing to visit Moscow for a summit with Russia’s president in the coming months, according to people familiar with the plan, as Vladimir Putin wages war in Ukraine and portrays himself as a standard-bearer against a U.S.-led global order.
Beijing says it wants to play a more active role aimed at ending the conflict, and the people familiar with Mr. Xi’s trip plans said a meeting with Mr. Putin would be part of a push for multiparty peace talks and allow China to reiterate its calls that nuclear weapons not be used.

Arrangements for the visit are at an early stage and the timing hasn’t been finalized, the people said. Mr. Xi could visit in April or in early May, they said, when Russia celebrates its World War II victory over Germany, an event that the Kremlin last year used to liken Ukraine’s elected leaders to Nazis.

Wang was set to visit Moscow on Tuesday to discuss China-Russia relations and “international and regional hot-spot issues of shared interest,” China’s Foreign Ministry said. Mr. Wang will likely discuss Mr. Xi’s trip while he is in Moscow, the people familiar with the summit planning said.

Xi is so gansta.
Surely looks like they have a secret brotherhood handshake.
Xi’s just taking some measurements of what will soon become “North China” once the Russian manpower reserves are fully exhausted.
Professional politician DeSantis says Russia is a pushover, a 3rd rate military. He apparently thinks if we go to war with Russia over Ukraine, the Chinese will just stay out of it.
wow...
So when Xi visits Moscow, air raid sirens should wail, too. In fact, this should happen whenever one head of state visits another. Kinda like a 21-gun salute.
It means they don’t fear us.
Ominous.
One thing is certain: DeSantis lives and thrives rent-free in your head.
He was saying that Russia is no threat tous, and he is right. But the Neo-Coms had to force Russia into China’s arms.
Brandon acted as though his hearing aids had dead batteries. I wondered whether the air sirens were Ukraine's official military band, playing their national anthem.
Isn’t that what Obama said about The Russian military when he was in office? He called them a “regional power”. So DeSantis and Obama agree.
DeSantis is right? Did Russia get rid of all it's nukes and delivery systems?
Maybe it was the opening of The Osmonds “Crazy Horses”.
I remember how that used to scare the crap out of me when it came on.
You appear to have the DeSantis version of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Why? Because I stated the truth?

Putin bemoaned the “spiritual catastrophe” of the West.
“They distort historical facts and constantly attack our culture, the Russian Orthodox Church, and other traditional religions of our country,” Putin claimed. “Look at what they do with their own peoples: the destruction of the family, cultural and national identity, perversion, and the abuse of children are declared the norm. And priests are forced to bless same-sex marriages.”
“As it became known, the Anglican Church plans to consider the idea of a gender-neutral God … Millions of people in the West understand they are being led to a real spiritual catastrophe,” he claimed.
I can understand what you’re saying but at this point what DeSantis says doesn’t mean much.
When DeSantis comes out and says “Get the hell out of Ukraine”, it will be meaningful and people will take notice.
I hope he and others start doing that.
