China has announced that it will grant visa-free entry to Russian citizens starting September 15, 2025. This move increases the total number of countries benefiting from China"s unilateral visa exemption policy to 48.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning emphasized that this decision reflects China"s ongoing commitment to openness and international cooperation. The announcement coincides with the unveiling of the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline project, which strengthens energy ties between the two nations.
This development marks a significant step in the Sino-Russian alliance, which has been solidified through various economic and political agreements in recent years. Analysts suggest that these actions indicate a failure of the former U.S. administration"s "Reverse Kissinger" strategy aimed at countering the growing partnership between Russia and China.
The visa exemption is expected to boost tourism and business exchanges between the two countries, further enhancing their strategic partnership. For further context, recent developments in energy cooperation highlight the deepening ties that are shaping the geopolitical landscape.
