Xi Jinping and Putin's Meeting Draws Criticism from Trump and Biden Teams.

Former US President Donald Trump criticized Chinese President Xi Jinping's comments to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the two countries' relationship being a driving force behind geopolitical changes, calling it a "low point" for the US. The US has accused China of siding with Russia amid the Ukraine invasion, with speculation that China may send arms to Russia. Western criticism of China's response to the invasion has pushed Moscow and Beijing closer together, according to Michael Swaine, a senior research fellow on East Asia from the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
