AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoRussia–China Summit: Xi Jinping called ties with Vladimir Putin “unyielding” in Beijing, but the big takeaway stayed missing: no breakthrough on the long-delayed Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline, with talks still stalled on key details and timing even as both leaders traded warm, alliance-heavy messaging and jointly criticized the US Golden Dome missile plans. Energy Pressure: The visit is framed as Russia trying to use disruption from the Iran war and Hormuz risks to push China toward faster, overland gas deals—yet Putin left without a final contract. Security & Diplomacy: The pair also aligned on nuclear and strategic stability concerns, warning against a “law of the jungle” style of global order. Trade Risk Watch: A joint declaration said Russia and China will expand meat exports while managing safety risks after Siberian cattle disease. Mongolia Angle: With the pipeline route running through Mongolia, the lack of a deal keeps regional energy expectations on hold. Other Notables: Shanghai announced its carbon neutrality expo for June 10–12, and FIBA 3x3 Shanghai pools confirmed a Mongolian team matchup.
