Last update: a minute agoChina–Russia Summit: Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin staged another “unyielding” alliance show in Beijing, but the big energy prize stayed stuck: Power of Siberia 2 got only a “general understanding” on route and construction, with pricing, volume flexibility and a timetable still unresolved. US–China–Russia Tensions: In the same joint statement, they condemned Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile plans and Washington’s nuclear stance, while also warning that shipping restrictions by “individual states” threaten global trade amid the Iran/Hormuz crisis. Central Asia Minerals: Russia is pushing back on US/EU efforts to secure Central Asia’s critical minerals, warning that supply chains are increasingly dominated by China—an issue that could spill into Mongolia as well. Mongolia Angle: Zelenskyy’s latest diplomatic moves included a new non-resident ambassador for Mongolia, while Mongolia’s own business and investment chatter continues to orbit mining and cross-border trade. Culture & Media: A separate controversy flared over censorship around Chinese schoolchildren used as “props” in Vladivostok Victory Day coverage.
