Chinese President Xi Jinping made a rare public hug designed to show the world that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have sealed what they call a 'new era' of strategic partnership. The hug even prompted a reply to an answer from a White House spokesperson. In a press conference in China at the end of the trip, Putin said Russia could deliver oil as well as gas to China along a planned route via Mongolia. Russia, grappling with Western sanctions after its invasion of Ukraine, is increasingly reliant on its booming trade with China. Beijing is also challenging U.S. supremacy in areas from quantum computing to espionage and hard military power. Putin admitted the pipeline was a complex process including questions of pricing, but also said China's growing economy needed energy and there was no more reliable supplier than Russia. Experts say as China is not expected to need additional gas supply until after 2030, Beijing could drive a hard bargain on how much it would pay for oil and gas if and when the second pipeline via Siberia is built.
