China's Xi set to begin Russia visit in symbolic show of support for Putin against West
Chinese President Xi Jinping is due to start a four-day visit to Russia on Wednesday, giving President Vladimir Putin an important diplomatic boost at a time when the Russian leader is keen to show his country is not isolated on the world stage.
Xi, whose country is locked in a tariff war with the United States, is expected to sign numerous agreements to deepen the already tight "no limits" strategic partnership with Moscow, which has consistently seen China crowned Russia's biggest trading partner.
