Xi Jinping, the President of China, is set to make a historic visit to Russia later this month, in what many are calling a strategic alliance in the making. The visit will be closely watched by leaders in the United States and Europe, who are increasingly frustrated with China's diplomatic and economic support for Russia. China and Russia have not declared a formal alliance, but Beijing and Moscow have maintained deep strategic ties, as both are nuclear-armed powers that seek to weaken Washington's geopolitical dominance. The visit follows a recent trip to Beijing by Russian President Vladimir Putin, where the two leaders declared a "no limits" partnership. This was just three weeks before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The visit is seen as an important step in strengthening the relationship between the two countries, and could have far-reaching implications for the global geopolitical landscape. Analysts say the visit could bring a number of benefits to both countries, including increased economic cooperation, and the possibility of a stronger military alliance. The visit is expected to be a major event for both countries, and could signal a new era of cooperation between China and Russia.
