The Russian leader invited his Chinese counterpart to Moscow in late December

Western leaders are holding their breath as Chinese President Xi Jinping makes his way to Russia for high-level talks with Vladimir Putin.

Putin invited Xi to visit during a call in late December.

The Kremlin says the leaders will discuss “deepening Russian-Chinese cooperation”, with Moscow’s ongoing invasion expected to dominate discussions.

China is Russia’s biggest buyer of oil – and trade between the two countries has increased substantially since the war began.

The visit comes as China offers to broker peace in Ukraine.

But Western leaders are sceptical given Beijing’s diplomatic support for Russia.

In the U.S., top Biden spokesperson John Kirby says there are currently no plans for the U.S. president to speak with his Chinese counterpart.

“The President wants to keep the lines of communications open with China,” Kirby declared.

“He (Joe Biden) wants to set up a meeting with President Xi and I suspect that will happen in due course.

“It is important that these two countries keep the line of communication open, especially when tensions are high,” Kirby said.

Established brands like Peugeot and Nissan are slashing prices by significant margins to compete with emerging Chinese EV competitors.

Facing a dual challenge of a decelerating growth in EV adoption and a surge in competitively priced alternatives from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, traditional automakers are forced to enact substantial price cuts to clear inventory.

This trend reflects the fast pace within the market and signals the formidable struggle for dominance in the EV space. #featured #trending

Does this mark a shift in Washington’s public approach to the war?

President Joe Biden is vowing to withhold weapons from Israel if the Jewish State goes forward with its invasion of Rafah.

The comments came after the Biden administration halted a recent shipment of bombs amid concerns over Israel’s plans to launch a full-scale assault on Rafah even as cease-fire talks continue with Hamas.

Jonathan Tobin, the Editor-in-Chief of Jewish News Syndicate, joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
