Chinese President Xi Jinping surprised many by giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a rare hug in front of cameras, symbolizing a "new era" of strategic partnership between the two nations.

Despite not being known for effusive displays of warmth, Xi embraced Putin twice, marking a significant moment during Putin's two-day visit to China.

Following the informal tea and dinner event, Putin later emphasized the strengthening of Russia's strategic alliance with China in the energy sector during his speech at a Russia-China Expo in Harbin on Friday.

"Our strategic alliance in energy field has become a main framework of the overall global energy resources market. I am sure it will strengthen further," Putin said.

    No red Carpet for Zombie Blinken. Grand Welcome with Fanfare Trumpets for Putin. ''No Limits'' Friendship.

    Xi doesn't do hugs, ever. For him to do this in such an open manner is a huge public statement Re. his regards for Putin and the importance of the ties between their nations.

    This what respecting eachother means. Good honest chemistry between them. Most importantly..that hug speaks to 1.5 billion Chinese and 150 millions Russians too.
  • @TheFriend2u
    Chinese are not prone to be demonstrative with their affection, especially President Xi & China Statesmen. But, the fact that President Xi initiated the open arm hug, speaks alot on how he feels for President Putin.
  • Blinken wasn't given a red carpet because China was afraid Blinken would complain of red carpet overcapacity.🤣

    They feel comfortable, no tensions, no conflict, there's nothing to fuss about. Both leaders are on unusual level of personal friendship, they invited each other to their birthdays. Always treating each other with respect, there's no demands, only offers to equally prosper. This is how diplomacy is done, not by threats and blackmailing but by simple conversation.

    You knew how close these 2 leaders are by just looking how relax and freely they walk together.
