Japan and China top-level visits to Russia and Ukraine show global re-alignments

China and Russia are entering a 'new era' of ties, the leaders of both countries said, as they met for a second day of talks hosted by the Kremlin. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin signed a deal to expand bilateral trade and energy ties. Xi is on an official visit in Russia just days after an international court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
