Not all are the same.

Xi, Putin Embrace in Moscow, Vow to 'Defend Multipolar World Order' & Counter 'Neo-Nazism & Militarism'

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin put on a big show Thursday as the Chinese president was welcomed in Moscow, where he's attending Russia's 80th anniversary Victory Day parade and events in Red Square.

The two signed a show of solidarity statement "further deepening" their partnership following talks which lasted about four hours. Chinese state media called it a "joint statement on further deepening China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era." They are beefing up the already 'no limits' friendship and strategic partnership.

The two leaders once again hailed the powerful cooperation as underpinning a multipolar world order in the face of Western hegemony.

"In today’s challenging geopolitical situation and global uncertainty, the Russia-China foreign policy partnership is a key stabilizing factor on the international stage," Putin said, per the Kremlin readout. "Together, we defend the formation of a more just and democratic multipolar world order."

Our Take: It looks like the kid gloves are coming off.

China is now joining Russia on the world stage, proclaiming the emergence of the Sovereign Alliance (which they call the 'Multipolar World Order,') and calling out the Nazis.

A day after Trump does the same.

Victory Day, indeed. —

Burning Bright
