Putin met with Xi Jinping in Beijing. The leaders signed dozens of documents but failed to agree on the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline construction timeline or the price of Russian gas.

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping held talks in Beijing on May 20. The two leaders signed roughly 40 documents, including a joint declaration “on the formation of a multipolar world and international relations of a new type” and a joint statement “on further strengthening comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation.” The statement runs nearly 10,000 words and ranges from nuclear security to the protection of Amur tigers.
