Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping recently demonstrated strong bilateral ties and unity during a high-profile summit in Beijing. While the two leaders emphasized their deepening strategic partnership and resistance to Western pressure, they failed to secure a highly anticipated agreement on the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline. The pipeline remains a critical economic project for Moscow as it seeks to redirect its energy exports from European markets to Asia.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a bilateral summit in Beijing to showcase their strong strategic alliance.
- Despite demonstrating public unity, the leaders did not sign a final deal for the proposed Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline.
- The Power of Siberia 2 pipeline is designed to transport up to 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually from Russia to China.
- Negotiations remain stalled, reportedly due to disagreements over gas pricing and the volume of energy China commits to purchasing.
- The lack of an agreement highlights the ongoing economic imbalances in the relationship, as Moscow increasingly relies on Beijing amid Western sanctions.

Can someone explain to me, with arguments, why DW and similar media outlets persistently call Russia a weaker partner in relations with China?🤔🤔🤔🤔
How many deals did the writer of the art of the deal sign? The gas deal is already on the way. It gas nothing to do with putin
Imagine europe talking about junior partner and gas. This is hilarious
Yes, you were looking for anything negative to report about their meeting anyway.
China is not rushing to close the deal.
They will trade in Yuan and the finest Russian Potatoes
In the interests of balance (vis-à-vis the expansion of NATO) :
US Secretary of State, James Baker, assured Gorbachev there would be "no extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east" regarding German unification.
–
Hans-Dietrich Genscher's Proposal (Jan 31, 1990): German Foreign Minister stated NATO should rule out an expansion of its territory towards the east "closer to the Soviet borders," a principle he confirmed applied "in general" to Eastern Europe.
Helmut Kohl's Reassurance (Feb 10, 1990): German Chancellor affirmed NATO "should not expand the sphere of its activity" to respect Soviet security interests.
Broader Western Consensus: Declassified UK files show PM John Major (1997) acknowledged Russian concern, assuring that "we are not seeking to encircle Russia" .
NATO Secretary-General Manfred Woerner also privately opposed expansion in 1991.
China already secured his energy with 2530 years deal Iran woth russia and with kazakhstan as well
This San Diego University prof is a wise guy with a great insight. Good catch, DW.
These two crooks have signed a deal not to trust each other.
DW News is getting more and more boring to watch. The political news isn't engaging anymore. In my opinion, the best broadcaster right now is Sky News. They have lots of interesting ideas with concise and clear explanations.
My preference is Sky News because it's concise, clear, informative, and more neutral.
Putin is a kidnapping murderer
This world dynamic rules show that yesterday differ from today and tomorrow meaning yesterday super power can be a junior partner today but can transform to be a super power tomorrow. Long live RF
I'll save you the 19 minutes: the Chinese know Russia can't deliver.
FACT- russia is now a mere vassal of China and North Korea. China needs to take back all of Manchuria.
West says Hungary and slovakia playing from kermlin side but at the time to time you see Germany trying to move on russisn side casue they can't afford to ignore cheap russian resources for German industries
How did you come to the conclusion that Putin failed to convince Xi to sign the gas deal?
This entire report is based on this take. How do we know that this was the main purpose of this coming together.
You guys are not yet again just making up your own story for the narrative are you?
I can't understand what's stopping us from being friends with Russia. It's not a threat to Germany; we broke off all business relations, not them. If you look at the history of our relationship, we're the ones who stopped being friends with Russia and just started getting angry at it. Why? We live on the same continent; we're neighbors. I doubt Ukraine is worth breaking off friendship with Russia over.
You are so pathetic, making news out of nothing, that BS about it for 20 min using these so called experts. The deal has been made, because it is clearly in mutual interest.
Pathetic…. Theater 🎭
all you do is talk to urselves😂
Two wolves in sheep's clothing.
This is more practical than anything else. Jungle law is very much alive between those two.
Umm, Xi pretty has the upper hand in any negotiation he participates in. I mean he just got the biggest rim-job in history from Donnie Twump and his oligarch tech bro entourage just a few days ago. And now "Lil Vlad" has swooped in for the sloppy seconds.
Just like Mami, Xi's always on top it seems LOL.
Hypocrisy at its finest… So invading Ukraine is a problem because Russia is doing the invading not the USA. But when the US invades and bombs nations and kill millions it’s ok, (Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran and countless more). Israel on the other hand, invades Lebanon and Syrian land and bombs everyone around it while committing a land grab and genocide against Palestinians is ok because it is supported by the west and US…. There is no limit to BS…
Haha, who is buying the Agricultural Products in support of Ukraine, definitely not EU nor USA. That is the Western Terminology of Unwavering Support.🤔😉🤣🤣
Haha, China is Fulfilling the Decoupling Wishes from US but the US keeps on Pestering the Poor Peasants for Trade and taking advantage of it while Complaining about Trade Deficit when China is trying to Help US to Stand up and Start Manufacturing.🤔😉🤣🤣
DW need to talk about northStream pipelines instead of worry about Russia and China.The power of Serbia2.1 pipeline is about to cross into Mongolia to go to Beijing.thats why Putin went there couple months ago to sign the contract with Mongolia..also The power of Serbia 2.2 pipeline is closing into Xinjing provinces.thats why Putin went to Kazakhstan as well..plus that's a 30 years contract China have with Russia😂
Ja !zo is Poetin je vriend en zo is het je grootste vijand.
DW proven propagandist channel always try to brainwash us to obey german and eu politicians agendas. sadly lots of people are too low intellectual and easily brainwashed. there are also paid parties to support dw in the comments. dw title doesnt make sense because there are a pipeline from russia to china, why do u need another 10 pipelines? china doesnt need that much oil at all.
The absolute lie. By dw.
….one wrong move on war,….mainland china will be broken up into several countries……..
Pooh Bear outta lines, snorting too much.
Because India has bought all the oil from Russia.
All that Cheap European Gas and Oil will now go to China via Trans-Siberian Pipeline. Enjoy your Expensive American LNG 😊
The beast of kremlin: "Our countries ties have reached unprecedentedly high level"
Translated: "Please help me! I'm desperate! The Ukrainians are ruining me! 😭"
If China decides to buy most of their crude oil n gas, it wl definitely reduce the global oil price
China will suck russia dry out of their natural resources😂 And all of this because of putin's stupidity.
God what kind of troll farm infested comment section is that?
Why translate Putin with Indian accent? Please translate him with Russian accent
One doesn’t need to dominate in a partnership .
Thank God the world has three superpowers instead of only two. If there were only two giants fighting for control, the world could have already fallen into a massive war. Millions of people could have died on battlefields, and nuclear weapons could have pushed humanity into a nightmare of radiation clouds and destruction.
The truth is, these three lions all need each other in some way. China can not survive without global markets and trade with the West, especially the United States. Russia knows the West is too powerful and too connected to destroy completely. At the same time, America and its allies know that China and Russia are too dangerous to simply ignore.
So even though they compete, threaten each other, and fight for influence, they also hold each other back from going too far. That balance may be uncomfortable, but it may also be one of the reasons the world has avoided total catastrophe.
Unfortunately, the battle for the throne has always been part of human history. Power, fear, survival, and competition are all part of the rhythm of life under the sun…..
Being an ally and friend from the close neighbour is natural and rasional. And good for the people of two country.
Russia is doomed. China still vividly remembers the “century of humiliation,” when a weakened China was taken advantage of. Now China takes advantage of a weakened Russia. Just as Russia did to China 160 years ago. Perhaps in ten years, they will have to return Primorsky Krai, including Vladivostok, back to China.
Russian energy will go to China and strengthen the Chinese economy, while the Germans will buy expensive energy and lag behind in progress, which they deserve. Sorry DW LOL
I think Chinese political leadership strategic goal, is to succeed to positioning China in a centre of a triangular world order, in which the tree summits are occupied respectively by : USA, Russia and the global South. I hope they will succeed in a long term future for the benefit of humanity.
Salutations from Marrakech❤
The only thing tying Russia to China is the Communist Party and philosophy. Otherwise, they have fought wars and China would love to take the resources of Eastern Russia. But, they are united against the US and the capitalist idea.
It’s almost like they’re not actually allies.
