masterSergeant Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to arrive in Beijing for a one-day visit on May 20, just days after the conclusion of President Xi Jinping’s landmark summit with U.S. President Donald Trump. Sources told the South China Morning Post the visit was part of Moscow’s routine dealings with Beijing, with little expectation that there would be an elaborate parade or welcome. It will be the first time that China has hosted the leaders of the two powers in the same month outside a multilateral setting, a reflection of Beijing’s efforts to manage ties with both and position itself as a pivotal power amid an increasingly fractured world order. After Putin’s visit, China will also be the first country to host all four leaders of the other permanent members of the UN Security Council within months of each other, the report said. France’s Emmanuel Macron visited Beijing in December, followed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in January. Sources suggest Putin’s reception will be scaled back compared to the Trump summit, citing the heavy workload Chinese officials faced during the U.S. presidential visit.
