The way it works, Putin will keep the fancy big check, and Xi will keep the actual money.

It seems the point of the meeting was to unconfuse the Russian government as to its current status. Putin has been China's bitch all along, he just didn't know it. Now Xi has come to Moscow to inform the Kremlin that Putin is China's bitch and will forever remain China's bitch, so there would be no confusion about it.

Chinese maps are now being revised to give Russian cities in the Far East their original Chinese names, which they had carried before Russia had annexed those territories in the 19th century, taking advantage of China's weak political and military status. The roles have now been reversed to their exact opposites.

And all of it is Putin's doing, because instead of using all those incredible windfall profits from oil and gas to develop Russia, Putin and his friend have been stealing most of it to enrich themselves, while telling their lowly subjects how glorious it was to continue living in filth for the sake of their great Motherland. If the Russian people had any problems, Putin told them, it was entirely the fault of the evil Anglo-Saxons and the expansion of NATO because the Anglo-Saxons hate Russians and want to enslave them. I'm not joking, it's the exact language in which Russian propaganda talks to the Russians. Anglo-Saxons are a thing again.

Excuse me if I have low confidence that the Chinese masters will treat them any better than the Anglo-Saxon masters ever could have.

In summary: dragon swallows bear.
