In his August 20, 2025 Asia Society report \u201cChina-Russia Relations Since the Start of the War in Ukraine,\u201d our International Advisory Board Member, Ambassador Pierre Andrieu, Senior Fellow at Asia Society Policy Institute\u2019s Center for China Analysis, scrutinizes how Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has accelerated Sino-Russian cooperation\u2014particularly through the rapid deepening of trade, sanctions circumvention, and the poignant asymmetry of the relationship despite the \u201cno-limits\u201d rhetoric that preceded the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geneva: Ukraine Foundation\u2019s International Advisory Board Member Ambassador Pierre Andrieu Commenting In Le Temps<\/em> that Putin Now Plays the Junior Partner to Xi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Le Temps<\/em> (2 September 2025), French diplomat Pierre Andrieu stressed that the balance of power between Moscow and Beijing has shifted decisively: Vladimir Putin is no longer the leading partner in this relationship, but increasingly dependent on Xi Jinping\u2019s China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ambassador Andrieu notes that while Russia still offers energy resources, military weight, and geopolitical disruption, these assets are outweighed by China\u2019s economic might, global influence, and strategic patience. For the first time in their shared history, Moscow\u2019s leader stands in the \u201cshadow of his big brother\u201d Xi. This dynamic reflects not only the growing asymmetry between the two regimes but also the limits of Russia\u2019s ability to independently shape the international order amid its ongoing war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
