"The world is going through changes unseen in a hundred years, the international situation is intertwined with chaos," Xi said alongside Putin on Tuesday. "But I firmly believe that the friendship between China and Russia can withstand the impact of these changes." This statement reveals Xi's confidence in the resilience of Sino-Russian relations despite global turmoil and indicates their intent to lead a coalition of non-Western countries.
Both Russia and China see the BRICS as an institution that can help them organize a coalition of non-Western states to tacitly hedge against and confront a hostile West. This perspective emphasizes their strategic alliance and shared interests in countering Western influence, framing the BRICS as a crucial platform for these nations.
