As the winter Olympics went underwayin Beijing president Putin of Russia wast the virtuoso. Russia announced a new partnership with China saying it'll back Russia's foreign policy aims and saying it corroborates Russian demands that NATO halt its expansion that is seen as an implicit reference to the situation in Ukraine. Mr. Putin hailed the agreement as an unprecedented alliance of cooperation director Xi and Vladimir Putin deemed their talks hours before the opening of the games which had a relatively low-key ceremony amid very concerned about Covid-19 and a diplomatic boycott over human rights abuses from Beijing. China's capital city, an Olympic host for the second time, is the bird's nest stadium. Built in 2008, is still majestic with the China red flag and the multitudes still so familiar but there's a different gentleman in charge now. It seems very different in 2022, Beijing Xi Jinping predicted a safe efficient event. Dozens of participants who've flown in ought to have quarantined with Covid-19, but so far the bulk of the world's winter Olympians are ready. Britain and Australia, along with a dozen others, has joined a US-led diplomatic boycott to protest over what they claim is scandalous insult or even genocide carried out by China against Muslim minorities. China's star client Russia's president Putin, is one of 20 or so chairmen prime ministers or rulers who are keen to show their support for China in person but Mr. Putin came for more face-to-face talks. He's agreed to more transactions, a new friendship, and a closer cooperation with China. They used to share communist rule, now what attaches Russia and China is the concern about U.S. force.
The tension over Ukraine increases by the day this was yet another showcase for a very modern China, but the truth is almost everyone in this city is cut off from these tournaments for most people in Beijing. China and Russia are forging a new even closer tie. The Olympics is always used to the legions as a showcase. Two years after the pandemic first emerged, it demonstrated the world it can put on a good see and likewise something that looks like regular. There is diplomacy to be done though as well and it's borne out of division, now this newly ameliorated burgeoning affair with Moscow is a sensitive one. For Xi Jinping, go back a few decades it hasn't always been a friendly relationship but he and the others around him at the top of the communist party now. I think they can show more support for Moscow and in return Vladimir Putin knows he can increasingly rely on China the world's second biggest economy.
