    Yeah, they pledge. And China has strong interest to ‘tackle global challenges.’

    When Chinese leader Xi Jinping visited Russia a few weeks ago to celebrate victory day in Moscow, Chinese state-controlled media outlet South China Morning Post reported that China’s Xi Jinping kicked off his state visit by thanking Moscow for supporting Taiwan’s reunification with mainland China.

    In a signed article in Russia’s state-run Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper … [Xi Jinping wrote that Taiwan’s] unification [with China] must be upheld as part of the post-war international order … Celebrating the “enduring friendship” between Moscow and Beijing, he said the two countries had supported each other since World War II …

    Two of the global challenges -the war in Ukraine and China’s aggression against Taiwan- appear to be closely linked, at least from China’s point of view. Would be interested to know what other global challenges they were talking about. Unfortunately the linked report doesn’t mention any tangible outcomes of this meeting.
