China and Russia reaffirmed their no-limits partnership during Xi Jinping's recent visit to Moscow for the 80th anniversary of WWII's end. Both leaders criticized what they termed attempts by certain nations to misinterpret WWII history. Their joint statement condemned NATO's expansion in the Asia-Pacific and pointed to the US's and its allies' efforts to undermine regional stability through economic sanctions. The two countries expressed solidarity against unilateral foreign measures, reflecting their close diplomatic ties and shared strategic interests, with plans for Putin's upcoming visit to China further solidifying their relationship.
In a lengthy statement published during Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow for the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the end of the second world war, which Russia celebrates on 9 May as Victory Day, Xi and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin said certain countries are attempting to tamper with the results of the victory of the second world war.
The Xi-Putin statement went further than previous ones in directly condemning the United States, emphasizing that the US and its allies are trying to promote Nato's eastward expansion into the Asia-Pacific region.
The joint statement asserted that unilateral coercive measures, including economic sanctions that bypass the UN Security Council, violate the UN Charter and undermine international security interests.
Putin announced plans to visit China in the autumn for the commemoration of Japan's defeat in the second world war, further signaling the deepening ties between the two nations.
