China's Embrace of Vladimir Putin Isn't Going to Help America's Relationship With the United States

Xi Jinping's embrace of Vladimir Putin is not going to help his China's relationship with the United States. The Chinese and the Russians, I think, see themselves as allies in trying to push back against what they see as the US-led world order. Xi hasn't spoken with the Ukrainian leaders of Lenski yet in all of the months that they've been,. So I think that's really kind of posturing that a lot of people will see through.
