Eighty years after the end of World War II, global powers China and Russia are emphasizing the need for a more equal, multipolar world amid rising unilateralism. Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia this week underscores the enduring partnership between the two nations, rooted in their shared sacrifices during the war.
🚀 “Our peoples won the anti-fascist war through heroic struggles,” President Xi wrote in Russia’s Gazette, highlighting the historic alliance that saw 100+ million casualties globally. Today, both nations aim to safeguard peace by countering modern challenges like economic coercion and geopolitical dominance.
💡 Why it matters: With tensions simmering in global politics, China-Russia collaboration signals a push for an ‘orderly multipolar world’—a vision resonating among nations wary of hegemony. As Xi noted, ‘Hard-won stability must be protected.’
🌏 For history buffs: The Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War and China’s resistance against fascism remain pivotal chapters, reminding younger generations of the cost of peace. Xi’s commemorative visit also spotlights cultural solidarity, from wartime stories to today’s tech-driven diplomacy.
