Biden Addresses China-Russia Relations During Canada Visit

US President Joe Biden said that China has not yet sent weapons to Russia to replenish stockpiles that have been exhausted due to Moscow’s war in Ukraine. He also suggested that reports of rapprochement between Moscow and Beijing had probably been “exaggerated”. During a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow this week, the Russian and Chinese leaders hailed “the special nature” of their relations but Beijing did not commit to providing support for Russia’s depleted forces in Ukraine.
