Chinese President Xi Jinping has had a state visit to Russia.
The visit coincides with Russia's Victory Day celebrations on May 9, marking the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, which brought an end to the Second World War in Europe.
This year also marks the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, signifying the complete triumph of the global fight in the World Anti-Fascist War.
How will President Xi's visit to Russia further deepen bilateral strategic ties? Why are stable China-Russia relations crucial for regional and global stability? And will the world draw lessons from 80 years ago to preserve peace, or are we heading toward a more turbulent future?
CGTN Radio host Xu Yawen speaks with Chen Weihua, the EU bureau chief of China Daily, Evgenii Pavlov, a journalist with Sputnik, Beijing, and Angelo Giuliano, a Swiss-Italian political analyst based in Hong Kong, to delve into these topics.
