"Moscow condemns the provocations that the United States and satellites have staged in the Taiwan Strait, Putin noted. The Russian president also pointed out Beijing's balanced position on the Ukrainian crisis.
"We highly appreciate the balanced position of Chinese friends in connection with the Ukrainian crisis. We understand your questions and your concerns on this matter, and during today's meeting, of course, we will explain in detail our position on this issue, although we have spoken about this before," the Russian President said.
On September 11, it was reported that Xi Jinping would leave China for the first time in more than two years and travel to Central Asia, where he would meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. This is Xi's first trip since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting of world leaders is planned on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Uzbekistan, which is held on September 15-16."
