The landmark meeting of non-Western leaders in the Chinese capital, among other things, opens up prospects for the creation of a new three-way axis.

In a sign of solidarity with the aggressors, Chinese leader Xi Jinping will meet for the first time with his Russian and North Korean counterparts in front of US President Donald Trump and other Western leaders.

According to Reuters , geopolitical analysts say the meeting between Russian and North Korean dictators Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un in Beijing demonstrates the Chinese leader’s influence on authoritarian regimes seeking to overhaul the world order based on Western principles.

“This landmark meeting of leaders in the Chinese capital also opens up prospects for the creation of a new trilateral axis based on a mutual defense pact,” the publication wrote.

“We must continue to take a clear stand against hegemonism and power politics and practice a genuine multilateral approach,” Xi Jinping said, delivering a thinly veiled jab at his geopolitical rival across the Pacific.

“Even as Trump flaunts his peacemaking skills and dreams of the Nobel Peace Prize, holding a peace summit with Putin on Ukraine in Alaska and insisting on meeting with Kim, any new concentration of military power in the East, including military aggression, will cause alarm in the West,” the publication wrote.Read also:

“A few years ago, China and Russia were partners in imposing sanctions on North Korea for its nuclear and missile tests… However, now they are potential military partners of the DPRK,” said Engjun Kim, an analyst at the US National Bureau of Asian Studies.

The publication noted that Putin’s visit to Beijing and meetings with Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un could shed light on the Kremlin leader’s intentions. Beijing is also expecting the Iranian president, in what Western analysts have dubbed the “Axis of Turmoil.”

Putin’s visit to China

Western media outlets call the key goal of Putin’s visit to Beijing the intention to agree on a common position on the war in Ukraine .

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ogryzko expressed the opinion that the purpose of Putin’s four-day visit to China is to ask for help to continue the war against Ukraine.

    Western media are very slow. Anyone with half a braincell knows the chinks have been supporting mafia land in this invasion. Do they really think NK would have helped mafia land so much, without the approval of the chinks?
