China and Russia’s unequal partnership | Global News Podcast
Vladimir Putin is in Beijing for a summit with the Chinese president Xi Jinping – a man he describes as his “long-time friend”. The two leaders have met dozens of times over the years, cultivating an alliance between Russia and China which officials have called a “friendship with no limits”.
Our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg tells us that both countries are keen to challenge the notion that the US is the world’s dominant superpower. On this trip – which comes just days after President Donald Trump visited Beijing – Mr Putin and Mr Xi are expected to sign a “Declaration on the Emergence of a Multipolar World”, according to Russian media.
They are also expected to discuss a planned gas pipeline, called the Power of Siberia 2, or Altai.
But the relationship between Moscow and Beijing is complicated. China has emerged as the more economically and diplomatically powerful partner, and each nation is forging its own ties with Washington. Mr Trump has suggested that Mr Xi could have a “big influence” on Mr Putin, in efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Houses, cars, and a bus were set on fire in Belfast last night in a night of violence that followed a knife attack on Monday.
The suspect, a 30-year-old Sudanese man who claimed asylum in the UK, is in court later.
In one area, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins on fire and shouted “foreigners out”, our reporter says.
Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill says “groups of masked men” were “burning families out of their homes” – Chief Constable Jon Boutcher says the violence was a “huge act of self-harm by mindless idiots”.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has described the chaos in Belfast on Tuesday night as “shocking and completely unacceptable”.

Myanmar’s civil war has claimed almost 100,000 lives.
In 2021 the country’s military seized power in a coup. After losing ground to rebel and ethnic groups, it’s making a renewed push, carrying out the forced-recruitment of tens of thousands of conscripts and employing new drone technology.
The United Nations’ human rights spokesman has condemned the military’s tactics which he’s called brutal and said that civilians are paying a terrible price.
BBC correspondent, Quentin Sommerville and Camera Journalist Darren Conway have spent time with rebel groups.

On 12 June 2025, a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad in western India, killing at least 260 people, including 241 passengers and crew on board.
Investigators have yet to publish their final findings into the cause of the crash.
A preliminary report into the incident from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau found both of the plane’s fuel switches moved to the “cut-off” position “immediately” after take-off, stopping fuel supply to the engine.
What is not clear however, is what actually caused the crash.
