- On Feb 1, Sergei Shoigu, Russian Security Council Secretary and former defence minister, arrived in China to meet Wang Yi, with the Russian Security Council saying they would discuss security issues.
- The visit comes as talks between Russia, Ukraine and U.S. officials proceed and follows Shoigu's December meeting with Wang Yi, underscoring ongoing Moscow-Beijing engagement.
- Shoigu told Wang Yi that Moscow continues to back Beijing on Taiwan, with TASS news agency and Reuters reporting his remarks on Sunday.
- Russia has repeatedly said it opposes Taiwan's independence and considers the island an inseparable part of China, while China views democratically-governed Taiwan as its own territory and has not renounced using force.
- Long ago, Shoigu and Wang met at the BRICS meeting in Saint Petersburg on Sept 10, 2024, reflecting a pattern of engagement as Beijing's "one country, two systems" offer lacks major Taiwan party support.
