Putin-Xi meeting, can there be the same scenario in 2008?

This meeting, besides the Olympic protocol, comes at a very delicate moment for the two countries. For Russia, which is continuing to send troops to the Ukrainian border and China, which is monitoring these developments in fear of overshadowing its organisation of the Olympics.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is one of the few leaders who have decided to attend the Olympics, while the leaders of the US, Great Britain and Australia have boycotted these games as a result of human rights violations in China. Some others because of strict restrictions on David-19.

But the main question posed by many Westerners is whether there will be a repeat of the scenario of the last Olympics held in Beijing, when Russia invaded another former Soviet state, Georgia. And as the situation continues to irritate in Ukraine, all eyes will be on Putin.

Friday's meeting could feature another part of China-Russia reports: close personal reports between the two leaders.

From their last meeting, Xi had named Putin as the modern “shock” and that “mezi is waiting for you at the” Olympic Games.

However, the potential conflict in Europe would only increase co-operation among them, especially if the previously announced sanctions against Russia were implemented, which would imply increased Russian dependence on the Chinese economy. From this situation, Beijing would also benefit from the US's shift in focus on their race with China, analysts predict.(CNN)/Periscopi/
