China’s President Xi Jinping arrived in Russia on Wednesday, May 7 to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin, with both leaders vowing to fight against “neo-nazism” and Western “bullying” together.

“Together with our Chinese friends, we firmly stand guard over historical truth, protect the memory of the events of the war years, and counteract modern manifestations of neo-Nazism and militarism,” Putin said during their meeting.

“Facing the countercurrent of unilateralism and bullying internationally, China will work with Russia to shoulder the special responsibilities as world powers and permanent members of the UN Security Council, to take on the responsibility.” Xi said.

Both leaders have been criticized for authoritarianism and human rights abuses.

Putin has falsely claimed that Ukraine is led by neo-nazis, calling it the “root cause” of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

Meanwhile, Xi has led mass repression and arrests against ethnic minorities such as Uyghurs and Tibetans.
