Xi Jinping and Mikhail Mishustin Deepen China-Russia Strategic Ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping met Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on November 4, 2025.
The meeting followed Mishustin’s talks with Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Hangzhou on November 3.
The visit marked the conclusion of Mishustin’s two-day trip to China and coincided with the 30th regular meeting of the heads of government of both nations.

Xi and Mishustin discussed expanding cooperation in energy, investment, transport, agriculture, and high technology.
Both sides signed at least 15 cooperation documents covering trade, energy, space exploration, digital economy, and green development.

Xi stated, “China-Russia relations have stayed the course toward higher-level and higher-quality development, advancing steadily despite a turbulent external environment.”
Mishustin emphasized continued efforts to attract mutual investment and support joint projects, according to TASS.

The talks reaffirmed the “no-limits” partnership signed by Xi and Putin in February 2022, highlighting mutual support regardless of international changes.
Both nations pledged to strengthen cooperation through BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Russia reaffirmed its adherence to the “one-China” principle and opposition to “Taiwan independence.”
The agreements aim to counter Western sanctions, expand yuan–ruble trade, and foster technological and energy independence.

China remains Russia’s main economic and diplomatic partner amid ongoing Western sanctions over the Ukraine war.
The deals signify deeper Sino-Russian cooperation across strategic, industrial, and technological fields, reinforcing both nations’ bid to build a multipolar world order.
