China urges stronger strategic coordination with Russia On 27 January 2026, Chinese defence minister Dong Jun told his Russian counterpart that Beijing is ready to deepen strategic coordination with Moscow to bring positive energy to global security and stability, according to CCTV. The two ministers held a video call. Dong said China will work with Russia to strengthen risk response and improve cooperation mechanisms. The statement came days after Moscow‑Kiev talks and before the US‑proposed peace plan. Beijing maintains a neutral stance on the war in Ukraine but has not condemned the invasion, while Western governments accuse China of supplying Russia with military components.
