▸ China’s leader Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin have promised each other closer military ties. What that means in detail, no one really knows, but the countries recently held joint military exercises in the Sea of Japan. So the question is how will the countries’ deepened cooperation affect the outside world? Because despite a lot of friction between the world leaders, they act like best friends when the world is watching. Moreover, they are working towards the same goal: dismantling the US-led world order. But how far are they prepared to go? How good of friends are Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin really? And what consequences can the countries’ expanded cooperation have? Guest: Niclas Vent, reporter at Aftonbladet. Program manager and producer: Julia Fredriksson. Contact: [email protected]
