US President Joe Biden meets Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time since taking office.

On the 16th of the following month, the venue is Geneva, Switzerland.

"As we seek to restore the predictability and stability of the mirror relationship, the two leaders will discuss a variety of urgent issues," said White House spokesman Jen Saki.



As there is a deep conflict, the two leaders have a lot to say.

However, it seems difficult to expect results.

In April, President Biden expelled 10 Russian government officials working as diplomats in the United States, citing Russian intervention and hacking in the US presidential election.

President Putin said in a meeting today that virtually aimed at the United States, "it will break the teeth of any power that intends to occupy even part of Russian territory."

Western media such as the Washington Post and the BBC believe that "a significant breakthrough will be made in this meeting or re-establishment of relations between the two countries will be difficult and will serve as an opportunity to understand each other."


"The tactic to plant a discord between China and Russia... also promotes China-Russia summit"


Still, the world's attention is drawing as much as the presidents of the two great powers meet, and China is particularly keen on this meeting.

This is because of the worries that there will be a crack in relations between China and Russia after the meeting of the two leaders as the US blockade in China is accelerating.



“The Western pressure and hostility bring China and Russia closer together,” the Global Times of China's official media outlet said in an editorial. “The US tactics to plant a discord between China and Russia and provide'carrot' to Russia will not succeed.” I insisted.

He added, "There is a possibility that Yang Jietsu, a diplomat in charge of the Chinese Communist Party's diplomacy in Russia, will coordinate the holding of the China-Russia summit with Russia within this year."



As if trying to dispel China's concerns, President Putin said in a call with Yang Jietz's political council. We will work to further strengthen our partnership.”



From Middle-Suk to Milwol...

"The best relationship in history"


In the late 1950s, China and the Soviet Union were in conflict over the struggle for leadership of the international communist movement and the Soviet Union's refusal to provide atomic bomb manufacturing technology. In the 1960s, China criticized the Soviet Union for revisionism and the Soviet Union for dogmatism, leading to a deteriorating relationship. In 1969, a border dispute over Damanski Island on the Ussuri River went through.



Cold relations between small and medium-sized enterprises were normalized when the Soviet Gorbachev regime appeared in the 1980s. With the end of the Cold War, the interests of the two countries in pursuing practical diplomacy have come together. With President Yeltsin's visit to China in 1996, China and Russia established a'strategic cooperative partnership' and promoted cooperation in various fields such as politics, military, and economy. In 2001, Chairman Jiang Zemin visited Russia to sign the'Sino-Russia Good-Lin Friendship and Cooperation Treaty', and in 2004 signed the <Eastern Border Treaty Supplemental Agreement>, which resolved the borderline problem that had led to armed conflict.




After Chinese President Xi Jinping took office, diplomatic relations between China and Russia have strengthened.

After taking office, President Xi chose Russia as his first visit, and since then, President Xi and President Putin met more than 30 times.

In 2019, the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations, President Xi and President Putin held a summit meeting in Russia. Issued a joint statement.

President Xi and President Putin called each other "Best Friend" and "Dear My Friend" and even showed so-called'bromence'.

"The clever monkey watches two tigers fight"...

What about the Russians?


Xi Jinping-Putin's honeymoon is intended to cope with the fierce pressure of former US President Trump, who promoted the'American First', and to create a new international order.

It is important to note that this relationship is a strategy that thoroughly considers national interests.




In 2019, at the height of the US-China trade war, President Xi Jinping and President Putin attended the 23rd World Economic Forum in St. Petersburg. The moderator asked President Putin, "What is Russia's position in the US-China trade war fighting for world economic supremacy?" President Putin replied, "There is a Chinese proverb that when two tigers fight in the valley, the clever monkey watches by side." Russia is likened to a monkey watching a fight between two tigers, revealing the inside of it.



Moon Il-hyun, a professor at Jeongbeop University in China, said, "Russia needs to break through sanctions from the United States and Europe, and China has no choice but to pay attention to relations with each other because without Russia, all sides can be surrounded." "Russia has the idea that it will not directly enter the battle between the two countries, the United States and China, because there is nothing to benefit. From a Russian standpoint, the greater the influence of China, the less its position is inevitable." Explained.



In the international community, there are no eternal friends or everlasting enemies. There is also a prospect that the close contact between China and Russia may be temporary in the face of national interests. The United States, trying to stop China from becoming the world's only superpower, shakes Russia to regain its former glory, creating a rift in China-Russia solidarity, and the diplomatic wars of the three powers are fiercely underway.
