With U.S. and Russian presidents set to meet in Geneva on June 16, the Chinese communist regime is highly concerned and is trying to win greater Russian support to counter the United States through a series of actions. Analysts believe it shows that China is very worried about Russia leaning toward the United States in U.S.-China-Russia relations.

Since June 2, Chinese state media Xinhua has run a series of articles claiming that China-Russia relations are “solid” and “resilient.” China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has also spoken directly with the Russian Foreign Minister as the regime tests the waters with its neighbor.
