It's amazing how posters above are in denial that a war will break out betwen China and the US, over Taiwan.
China doesn't believe that, not does the US or Taiwan, so why do these keyboard fanatics think differently?
President Xi says China will take Taiwan, by force if necessary, Taiwan clearly states that it will defend itself, and the US says it will assist Tiawan, just as many allies will too. But these facts mean nothing for the Hotcopper poters here. Talk about egomaniacs who only know the echo of their own makings, but can't see themselves for who they really are.
Anyway, to move forward with today's new development in President Xi about to go to see his mate, Putin. Naturally, Xi must visit Putin rather than the contrary, as it wouldn't look good for XI if he was to entertain a wanted man by the ICC.
According to Dr. Alexander Korolov, an expert in Russian/Chinese relations, says that Xi's visit os about the Indo/Pacific, and not Ukraine, which is far less important to Xi than his own intentions for Taiwan etc.
Xi, of course, will be looking for Putin's comfirmation for support for China's desire to take Taiwan and go to war with the US in doing so.
Xi could speak to Putin on the phone about any matter, but this matter requires Xi to look in Putin's eyes to see his response.
Nothing is more important to Xi than his own ambitions to take Taiwan (and beyond), and he needs to know who is going to back him.
