Xinhua News Agency, St. Petersburg, June 6 (Reporter Liu Hua Wei Jianhua) Chinese President Xi Jinping met again with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg on the 6th.

Putin invited Xi Jinping to take a boat trip to the Neva River. Putin welcomed Xi Jinping to visit his hometown again and introduced Xi Jinping to the customs and construction of the city along the way. Xi Jinping said that he is very happy to visit President Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg. The scenery here is beautiful and the cultural and artistic atmosphere is strong. There have been many major historical events in this fertile soil, and a large number of outstanding figures have been nurtured, especially for the victory of the world anti-fascist war. They have made important contributions and are the pride of the Russian and Russian people.

Xi Jinping and Putin jointly boarded the cruiser Aphrod, which was the first shot of the October Revolution, to hear about history. Xi Jinping said that the cruiser Aphrodite is of great significance to the Chinese people. When the October Revolution hit a cannon, it sent Marxism to China and played an important role in the birth of the Communist Party of China. Since then, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have followed and achieved great achievements in the Chinese revolution and the construction of new China. The Russian side has intactly retained the cruiser Aphrodite, which reflects respect for history. Putin agreed and stressed that history should be respected.

While enjoying the scenery along the coast, the two heads of state talked about the history of this ancient city and today, and unanimously agreed to promote Sino-Russian cultural exchanges and deepen mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples. Putin welcomes more Chinese tourists to Russia and St. Petersburg.

Subsequently, the two heads of state came to the Winter Palace to continue their long talks and further exchanged views on the current international situation and major international and regional issues.

Xi Jinping emphasized that at present, both China and Russia are at an important historical stage of national development and national rejuvenation. Under the current situation, the two sides should deepen strategic cooperation, not only to safeguard the interests of China and Russia, but also to defend basic international norms and international morality and safeguard world peace, security and stability.

Putin said that the more complicated and volatile the international situation, the more Russia and China should consolidate and deepen political mutual trust, strengthen coordination and cooperation in international affairs, and uphold the basic norms of international law and international relations.

Vladimir Putin had a lot to say about the US at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, warning that Washington's policies may turn global economy into battle royal and suggesting that dollar's role should be revised.
Even though the Russian president didn't always identify the US or the Donald Trump administration by name, he didn't mince words about America's aggressive economic policies either.
'US hegemony contradicts aims of humanity's future'
Washington's desperate attempts to maintain its hegemony on the international arena put the current globalist model of the world at risk of "turning into a spoof, a parody of itself," the Russian president pointed out.

When universal international rules are replaced by laws; administrative and judicial mechanisms of a single country or a group of influential states, like the US is now doing by extending its jurisdiction on the whole world – such model contradicts not only the logic of international communications and the realities of the emerging multipolar world, but more importantly – it doesn't fit the tasks of humanity's future.​

'US dollar used as a pressure tool'
"Deep changes require adaptation of international financial organizations, reconsidering the role of the US dollar, which after it became international reserve currency, turned into the tool of pressure of the country, which issues it, on the rest of the world today," Putin said.
The US authorities "are themselves undermining their advantages, created by the Bretton Woods system. The trust in the dollar is declining."
Also on rt.com Global trust in the US dollar is falling – Putin 'Turning global economy into battle royal'
Another negative outcome of the policy of sanction and pressure pursued by the US could be "the fragmentation of the global economic space; unrestricted economic egoism and attempts to push own interests forward through force."

This is the way to endless conflicts; to trade wars and maybe not only trade ones. Figuratively speaking, a fight without rules – a battle royal.​

'Arms twisting and intimidation'
The Americans and their allies got used to being privileged, but "when this comfortable system started shaking, when their competitors grew some muscle, the ambitions and the desire to maintain its dominance at all cost got the better" of the West.
"States that previously advocated the principles of freedom of trade, fair and open competition, started speaking the language of trade wars and sanctions, blatant economic raiding, arm twisting, intimidation, eliminating competitors by so-called non-market methods."
'Waging first technological war of digital era'
Putin delved into "the situation around the company Huawei," which saw its products and services banned in the US over unsubstantiated claims of spying for the Chinese government.

There are attempts being made not just to put it under pressure, but to brazenly force it out of the global market. In some circles, this is even called the first technological war of the coming digital era.​

The rapid digital transformation was seemingly aimed at "opening new horizons for everyone, who is ready for the change," but the moves by Washington show that "barriers are being erected here too" and it's a reason for serious concern.

The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is also under fire from the US, despite being in line with the national interests of Russia and all participating European nations. "But it doesn't fit the logic and the interests of those, who got used to [their] own exceptionalism and permissiveness; who got used to their bills being paid by others."
'Unjust system will never be stable'
The US push for monopoly propels the problem of inequality to "a new level" both on state and individual level. "An attempt is being made to create two worlds, separated from each other by a constantly expanding abyss. When one has access to state-of-the-art systems of education and healthcare as well as modern technologies, while the others have no perspectives, no chance to even get out of poverty and the third – simply left fighting for survival."

Any system based on obvious injustice will never be stable and balanced.​

ST PETERSBURG (WASHINGTON POST) - Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a broadside against America's role in the global economy on Friday (June 7), looking to cement the budding alliance between Russia and China as a union of countries trying to counter US influence.
With Chinese President Xi Jinping onstage next to him at Russia's marquee annual business event, Putin depicted Russia and China as increasingly facing similar pressures from Washington.
While Moscow has faced US sanctions for years, China now faces its own, intensifying economic battle with Washington.
"Countries that used to preach the principles of free trade and free and open competition have started speaking the language of trade wars and sanctions," Putin said.
"A system will never be stable or balanced if the unfairness at its foundation is clearer than ever."
There was little new in Putin's jabs at how the United States wields its economic power. But - with China's leader by his side - they carried wider aspirations: How Moscow hopes to build long-term strategic ties with the China, the world's second-largest economy and a rising military force in Asia.


Until recently, China has been slow to accept Russia's embrace.

But the Trump administration's trade war - and its campaign against Chinese telecom giant Huawei - is providing Russia with a new opportunity to win over China by casting the United States as a shared adversary.
Beijing "may no longer harbour illusions that the States will have mercy on China," Artyom Lukin, a specialist on Russian-Asian affairs at Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok.
"This could lead to a qualitative leap in our relations."
Xi was the guest of honour this week at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russia's answer to the annual business conference in Davos, Switzerland.
Xi led a delegation of some 1,000 Chinese executives and officials even as many Western officials stayed away - in part because of the furor over the recent arrest of an American investor based in Moscow.
Guiding Xi on Thursday through his home city, Putin showed off the Italian Renaissance paintings at the Hermitage Museum and took his guest on an evening boat tour on the Neva River.

They stopped at the Aurora, a warship that saw battle in Russia's war with Japan and is said to have fired the first shot of the 1917 October Revolution. The two leaders only parted at midnight, Putin said afterwards, "and we still had a lot to talk about."
Ahead of Xi's three-day visit to Russia, he referred to Putin as "my best and bosom friend." Russia has long looked to its big neighbour to the southeast for much-needed trade and investment. But China's significance as a geopolitical partner for Moscow rose sharply after the Ukraine crisis in 2014 - the outbreak of a Moscow-stoked separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine and Russia's annexation of Crimea.
The West, in return, punished Russia with sanctions and other measures.
"The Russian approach to China has been somewhat forced, in my view," Andrey Sokolov, chairman of Russia's biggest private bank, Alfa Bank, said in an interview. "Because after the well-known events of 2014 there was no other way out. Russia needed allies with whom it could cooperate in the political and economic sphere."
China refused, for instance, to recognise Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. But amid the trade war with President Donald Trump, China has appeared more eager to move closer to Russia.
The country's military participated in major exercises with the Russian Army last year. Trade between Russia and China rose nearly 25 per cent to US$108 billion last year, the Kremlin said, though the increase stems in part from higher oil prices.
"In a world which is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, China and Russia bear the great expectations of the people of the two countries and the international community," People's Daily, the Chinese Communist Party's flagship newspaper, said on Friday.
"Strengthening Sino-Russian relations is the call of history and the unwavering strategic choice of both sides," the commentary added.
Putin, with Xi at his side at the St Petersburg conference on Friday, referred to the situation around Huawei as "the first technological war of the coming digital epoch."

He compared it to efforts by Washington and some European Union member states to block Nord Stream 2, a new gas pipeline between Russia and Germany that critics say will make it easier for Russia to wield its energy supply as a geopolitical weapon. Russian officials counter that the criticism is rooted in America's desire to sell its own gas to Europe.
"Look at what's happening with Huawei," Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said here on Thursday. "Clearly, this is a competitive battle. The same thing is happening to us."
American officials have warned that Huawei equipment embedded in Western telecom networks could aid future espionage or sabotage by the Chinese government.
But Washington's ability to stop other countries from using Huawei technology has been tempered by the company's low prices and its advances in the next-generation wireless networking technology known as 5G. Huawei inked an agreement to develop a 5G network for Russia's biggest mobile carrier, MTS, in a Kremlin ceremony attended by Putin and Xi on Wednesday.
A day later, Guo Ping, Huawei deputy chairman, bantered in English onstage in St Petersburg with Herman Gref, the chief executive officer of Sberbank, Russia's biggest bank.
"We will do everything we can to help our customer win in his market," Guo said in front of the thousands of executives and officials.
Xi and other Chinese officials took a more measured tone toward the United States than Putin at the conference, saying they were committed to multilateralism. But for Xi's Russian hosts, it may have been more significant what he did not say.
While the arrest of Moscow-based American investor Michael Calvey - a regular attendee here in past years - cast a shadow over the conference, Xi voiced no concerns about Calvey's case.
US Ambassador Jon Huntsman boycotted the conference because of Calvey's arrest, and even leading Russian economic officials said the case had seriously damaged Russia's standing among foreign investors. Calvey, the founder of private equity firm Baring Vostok, denies wrongdoing. He was detained on embezzlement charges in February in a case he said stemmed from a dispute over control of a Russian bank. He is now under house arrest.
"Yes we are developing relations with China because it's currently possible, necessary, and so on," said Sokolov, the Alfa Bank chairman. "But does cooperating with China replace cooperation with the West? No."
