Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during talks with the vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission, at the Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow, Russia, Nov. 8, 2023.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday encouraged a senior Chinese military leader to strengthen their nations' military cooperation by collaborating on cutting-edge defense technologies.

In a televised speech ahead of his meeting with Gen. Zhang Youxia, second-in-command of China's military, Putin spoke of partnerships regarding ambitious weapons projects.

"I mean space, including high-orbit assets, and new prospective types of weapons that will ensure strategic security of both Russia and the People's Republic of China," Putin said without providing specifics.

Beijing announced last year it would have a relationship with "no limits." Amid international scrutiny, the Xi administration walked back that language.

But the Sino-Russian bond is still strong. Putin earlier projected that Russian-Chinese trade would hit a record high of $200 billion this year. Since the outset of the war in Ukraine, Beijing has been Moscow's top trade partner, helping to keep Russia's economy alive despite Western sanctions.

Last week, at a military forum in Beijing, Zhang pledged to "deepen strategic cooperation and coordination with Russia."

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu was in attendance and said the Sino-Russian partnership was in "exemplary" shape.

During Wednesday's meeting, Putin said he plans to extend Russia's sphere of influence into the Asia-Pacific region with China's help.

"The U.S. has increasingly drawn the alliance members into inciting tensions in the Asia-Pacific region and tried to create new military-political alliances, including countries of the region, proceeding from its own egoistic interests," he said.

Russia and China's response has been "calm and balanced," Putin said, describing how the two nations have staged joint air force and navy drills to boost their security.

Zhang praised Putin for not caving into pressure from NATO: "The Russian Federation under your leadership is standing firm in the face of Western sanctions, showing that you and Russia won't be bent by any difficulties."

Earlier on Wednesday, Zhang met with Shoigu, Russia's defense minister.

Shoigu emphasized that "nlike certain aggressive Western countries, we are not creating a military bloc." The Sino-Russian partnership, he said, will "set an example of strategic interaction based on trust and respect."

"We hold regular operational and combat exercises on land, in the air and at sea, and successfully accomplish combat training missions of various levels of complexity shoulder-to-shoulder," Shoigu continued. "All those actions do not target third countries and are taken exclusively in each other's interests."

Russians haven't acted fully honestly imo. I have something against them myself, and there was no reason for Russians to do what they did against me. So they're sleazy and not necessarily worth going with for this.

Russia asking China for help, what a shock

Russia asking China for help, what a shock

And China is happy to help. China stands by its allies through thick and thin, unlike a certain country that leaves its vassals twisting in the wind at the slightest inconvenience.

This is just public statement , as they already cooperate in military matters before this public announcment.

Russia helped create china's Ballistic Missle shield and detection capability , thus nullyfing the sudden attack by US nuclear missiles onto china. This is also the reason why US want to destroy russia , because russia strengten china militaritly and help china progress faster before US can attack china.

and China also helped russia by sending them massive amount of hardware including chips , drone parts , CNC machines and other gear to support Russian SMO to destroy Ukrop NAZI govt. Of course this is done discreetly but this drove US mad as they cannot prove china sending weapons to russia.. because china use 3rd party nations as buffer.

This is what stopping USA from suddenly attacking china with nukes..

it is great for the world peace if there is no more US empire and USA is just another nation standing the same as other nation and not acting as holier than thou delusional empire.

maybe india can be the next supapowa after USA gone
