Why is China’s Xi Hosting Russia’s Putin After Trump Visit? | The Pulse 5/20

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin praised the strength of their relationship during talks in Beijing as both countries seek to reinforce bilateral ties in the shadow of wars in Ukraine and Iran.
The two leaders signed a pact on deepening strategic cooperation on Wednesday before looking on as officials from both nations inked a series of other documents on topics ranging from trade and technology to railway construction. Putin said approximately 40 agreements had been reached during the visit, even as they didn’t mention a key gas pipeline project.

Today’s guests:
Bhanu Baweja, UBS Investment Bank, Chief Strategist; Pierre Wunsch, National Bank of Belgium, Governor; Sebastian Mallaby, Council on Foreign Relations, Senior Fellow; Jed Laskowitz, JPMorgan Asset Management, Private Markets and Customized Solutions Global Head.
