Yesterday you posted that China and Netherlands pledge deeper cooperation to tackle global challenges, today it is Germany and China to "cooperate on overcoming global challenges".
Who comes tomorrow?
Neither of these and many other of your articles have any tangible content, that's just a few lines out of a press statement.

Is there any chance he could pull that off? Getting Xi to push Putin on Ukraine is probably the only real lever Putin would react to. China does however depend on Russian fossil fuels so I don't think they have coercive leverage.
