Decoding Putin and Xi's blueprint for a new world order | DW Analysis

China and Russia are getting closer. Rather than distancing himself from Vladimir Putin over his war against Ukraine, Xi Jinping is doubling down on the relationship. And Putin is becoming more and more dependent on Xi as an economic, military and geopolitical lifeline. Why is this happening? What do Xi and Putin want to achieve? And what does their relationship mean for the rest of the world?

DW’s Richard Walker goes on a deep dive into the roots of the Moscow-Beijing relationship. Finding how the two sides are an economic “match made in heaven.” How China’s People Liberation Army wouldn’t be where it is today without military supplies from Russia when it was frozen out from other suppliers. And how the personal bond between Putin and Xi is feeding into a joint mission by the two men to reshape the world.

This relationship has potentially deep implications for every nation on earth. In part 3, we explore the impact in three areas currently underestimated by many: the prospect of joint China-Russia nuclear weapons planning, the impact on India of Russia becoming subordinate to China, and the implications for the endgame of the Ukraine war.

Featuring interviews with leading experts including Alexander Gabuev, Bonnie Glaser, Zhou Bo, Garima Mohan, Wang Huiyao and Decker Eveleth.

"Their militaries work together...Their economies work together...Their diplomats work together...." Well, I'm glad someone finally learned about the benefits of teamwork. 😂

[summmmmmable]

When you build like 500 military bases around somebody country, you would think they will just be sitting duck and let you do whatever?! 🤣

[TomDaiko]

whenever the reporter uses the word "the world" I'm wondering how many countries is he referring to? Does the term includes your nation???

[vyyvuyi]

Next time please find some more intense music…

[bexdkolimited]

how i wish the narrator can also highlight the usa Obsession with its hegemonic global dominance both economically and in the military sphere, 😊😊

So, when a character that DW thinks is justice appears, the picture becomes brighter and the music becomes brisk. Is this reporting news or making a movie?

[jackfereday]

The music is seriously annoying... totally over-the-top

[tyhqlwo]

lol, a bully never admits his bullying and always fear to lose its top dog status

13:23 This is how the West frames it NOW. However, one seems to conveniently forget, that during the 60'ies, it was the West that drew a "red line" with Cuba wanting nuclear rockets in their bases. The West, the US on top, straight out did not want that and actually threatened with nuclear war, if the Russians would deliver those nukes. But... if "a sovereign country has the right to self-determination", then Cuba had the same right to decide that they wanted those rockets. However, this was unpalatable for the US and they would NOT stand for it, even if it meant war.

50 years later, and we say that Russia can't force their own will on another sovereign country, even not for security reasons... while we did *exactly* the same. Well then, if WE had the right to draw a "red line" that can't be crossed, even with a sovereign nation, than so can Russia and anyone else. The fact we now deny others that right that we give to ourselves, show how hypocritical we, the West, are.

If Ukraine has the right to decide it wants to be with NATO because it's a sovereign country, than so has Cuba the right to decide it wants nuclear rockets on its soil as a sovereign country. Period.

I can't believe we get these amazing documentaries for free on Youtube, DW stepping its game.

Xi Jing Ping really didn't skip the Art Of War teaching class.
"Enemy of my enemy, is my friend"

It's funny. How many people sit and pretend to work, but most of them are just sleeping. While Russia was explaining, everyone else was sleeping.

[jayzhang]

The term "the world" in this video basically means the western world.

[Yoo-yooYeshua]

Nice production. Can I ask where do you find the ominous background music for download?

I’m trying to become a YouTuber and I heard music can be used to sway viewers opinions

[vgrvxfu]

People actually think Ukraine can win 😂 ...This is not tic tok war

[ndskwgk]

If the United States says that it does not pose a threat to China and Russia, then look at how many military bases the United States has around Russia on the territory of NATO countries, which is getting closer to the border with Russia, including military bases, and how many military bases around China, and immediately look at the number of military bases of China and Russia, and that's it it will be clear that these are necessary measures.

[ClericChris]

Putin walks like he grew up in Compton CA in the 90s. He's got that gangsta lean and pop.

[fuckyouall]

How the US sanctions on this two countries puts them together and makes them more stronger.

[DeEmperor]

As usual, completely left out how America pushed both countries to become friends. Antagonizing each one separately and you're surprised how they got close.

[islandmonusvi]

The hyper-emotional intensity of the background soundtrack is really over the top …defeating the reason/logical narrative.
