The publication notes that this visit is unlikely to be accompanied by the same level of ceremony as Trump’s trip.
For China, this will be the first time the country hosts the leaders of two major powers in the same month outside of multilateral summits.
According to media estimates, such diplomatic activity reflects Beijing’s efforts to simultaneously maintain and develop relations with both the United States and Russia.
