The outside world generally pays attention to Russia-China cooperation in diplomacy, economy, and military affairs, especially China’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine war and its attitude towards Russia. May support etc. However, after the “Xi-P meeting”, in the eyes of Western countries, China did not have any substantive suggestions for resolving the Russia-Ukraine war; The construction of natural gas pipelines has greatly increased the purchase of Russian energy (given by the European Union).

These attitudes and cooperation have greatly disappointed Western countries, especially European countries that once held hope in China.
