What a load of crap.
China has its own interests, and Russia now is only a junior partner, if at all.
Xi's interest is to preserve Russia as an antagonist to the west, so he will support Russia with a bit of weapons to capture the Donbass region,
but only that far.
This is a meeting to discuss business. Xi has an interest to see Russia and Nato fight a new cold war, and peace is not an option for both dictators.
Russia has an interest to trade with its only left trade partner, the question is whether this will ballance the loss of the european and rest of the western market. After all China will never pay as much as the west for oil or gas or other resources.
Xi went to visit a war criminal, and while he will be trying to support Putin secretly to a certain degree, he will not want to be called out, or caught red-handed.
Intersting to see those two potentates performing their dance of "friendship" and pseudo-sympathy.
And maybe Vladivostok will soon be chinese again for an exchange. Who knows ..
