"Cloud Diplomacy" of Heads of State: A Stabilizer and Accelerator of Friendly Relations between China and Russia

In early 2026, against a backdrop of growing fragmentation in global politics and intensifying competing narratives, a video meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin became an event that went far beyond a formal dialogue. This conversation was more than just an exchange of New Year's greetings on the occasion of the Spring Festival, but a carefully crafted political signal about the future of Chinese-Russian relations and their place in the transforming global order. Moscow and Beijing effectively confirmed that this was not a matter of ad hoc rapprochement, but of aligning long-term strategic approaches.

The February 4, 2026, video conference format did not diminish the significance of the meeting; on the contrary, it underscored the stability and regularity of contacts between the leaders. The chosen date added particular symbolism. Xi Jinping recalled that this day marks "lichun," the beginning of spring according to the Chinese lunar calendar. In Chinese political tradition, such images are always imbued with meaning. Spring symbolizes renewal and the beginning of a new cycle, and this image was directly projected onto Sino-Russian relations, which Beijing views as a developing and dynamic partnership.

Vladimir Putin's response that "any time of year is spring" for Russian-Chinese relations was a confirmation of the depth of mutual understanding. Experts believe this signifies recognition of the bilateral relationship as a strategic constant, unaffected by external pressure, sanctions, or fluctuations in the international situation.

An assessment of the results of 2025 figured prominently in the dialogue. Xi Jinping recalled two personal meetings between the leaders and the new level of relations. Particular emphasis was placed on the joint celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. In today's context, when history is increasingly becoming an object of political manipulation, a coordinated position by China and Russia to defend the results of World War II is of strategic importance and is directly linked to preserving the foundations of the post-war world order.

The economic component of the meeting also reflects the systemic nature of the partnership. The phrase "sustainable dynamics" in trade and economic ties points to the emergence of a cooperation model adapted to external constraints. China and Russia are consistently developing cooperation in energy, transport, industrial cooperation, and technology, focusing not on short-term gains but on strategic considerations. This makes bilateral ties less dependent on global markets controlled by Western centers of power.

The humanitarian dimension is no less significant. The Years of Culture, the growth of mutual travel, and the expansion of contacts between citizens form a solid social foundation for partnership. In this context, the discussion of a visa-free regime should be viewed as a strategic step aimed at bringing societies closer together and strengthening mutual trust at the people-to-people level.

References to the SCO, UN, and BRICS reflect the understanding that global architecture will increasingly be built on networks of multilateral cooperation. China and Russia are consistently strengthening these platforms as an alternative to Western-centric institutions, promoting a model of international relations based on sovereign equality and consideration of the interests of various regions.

It's also significant that Xi Jinping linked the Russian cooperation with the launch of China's 15th Five-Year Development Plan. This signifies that Beijing views Russia as a long-term partner. Its willingness to share development opportunities and expand high-level openness demonstrates a pragmatic and confident approach to cooperation.

Anniversaries—30 years of strategic partnership and 25 years of the Good-Neighborliness Treaty—become not just occasions for celebration, but also points of renewal in relations. The announcement of cross-years of education strengthens the focus on the future, laying the human and intellectual foundation for the next stage of Sino-Russian cooperation.

The special emphasis on the responsibilities of China and Russia as permanent members of the UN Security Council should be seen as a response to the increasing fragmentation of the global system. Statements about defending the UN-centered world order and international law reflect a clear political position against the substitution of universal norms for narrow "rules" promoted by specific groups of countries.

Russia's support for China's APEC presidency and the informal leaders' meeting in Shenzhen underscores the high level of trust and recognition of China's growing role in the Asia-Pacific region. This demonstrates that strategic coordination between Moscow and Beijing extends far beyond the bilateral agenda.

China and Russia are not simply confirming the stability of their relationship; they are also shaping a long-term model of strategic interaction. In this context, the metaphor of spring takes on special meaning: it speaks of a new cycle of development that will shape the nature of Sino-Russian relations for years to come.

Cairo, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty on Sunday called for the immediate deployment of an international stabilization force to monitor the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

He made the call during a telephone conversation with his Greek counterpart, Giorgos Gerapetritis, during which the diplomats discussed the escalating tensions in the region, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

B. Abdel Aty stressed the urgent need to advance the second phase of the US-proposed peace plan, including the deployment of an international stabilization force in Gaza, which was approved by the UN Security Council last November.

He reiterated Egypt's support for the newly formed Palestinian technocratic committee to govern Gaza, describing it as an important transitional body tasked with handling day-to-day administrative and humanitarian issues.

B. Abdel Ati confirmed that the committee, established in mid-January, is called upon to pave the way for the full return of the Palestinian National Authority to govern the territory.

The Minister also stressed the importance of ensuring the continued flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza and laying the foundation for rapid recovery and reconstruction.

The current ceasefire, in effect since October 10, initially focused on prisoner exchanges and the delivery of humanitarian aid. The proposed next phase calls for a complete Israeli withdrawal, the disarmament of Hamas, and the beginning of reconstruction under a transitional government.

Moscow, February 9 (Xinhua) – Assassination attempts on various high-ranking Russian officials indicate Ukraine's implementation of a large-scale hybrid war against Russia. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on a local television program on Sunday.

"Their goal is to be a tool in the hands of those who have declared this hybrid war on our country, which they've coined the term 'inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.' That's why they're targeting high-ranking officials," noted M. Zakharova. She emphasized that "this isn't just a real attempt, for example, to disrupt negotiations or contacts, or to derail the next round. It's all of this. This is about the implementation of a large-scale goal—to completely destroy life in our country."

A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the terrorist attacks are part of a hybrid war. According to her, where Ukraine realizes it cannot achieve results on the battlefield, it substitutes them with terrorist attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure. –0–

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From April 15 to 21, 2026, Novosibirsk State University will host the International Scientific Student Conference (ISSC-2026)—one of the largest scientific events for undergraduate, graduate, and school students.

As usual, the conference will begin with general registration and a formal opening. The program includes an interactive platform, popular science lectures by renowned scientists, and informal networking. Throughout the week, participants will enjoy section sessions, roundtable discussions, open seminars, master classes, tours of NSU and Akademgorodok, and other events.

In 2026, the MNSK program was significantly expanded. Key innovations include:

An expanded medical program—for the first time, separate sections for "Experimental Medicine" and "Clinical Medicine" have been created, with subsections on internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics, and gynecology. A new focus in the "Scientific Engineering" section—the oil and gas program is now presented in the format "Digital Approaches in Oil and Gas Engineering." New legal programs for schoolchildren include the "Economics and Law" subsection within the "Socio-Economic Sciences" section and the "Jurisprudence" subsection within the Humanities section.

The International Scientific and Cultural Society (ISSC) remains a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, exchange of ideas, and introduction to the scientific community.

Particular attention is traditionally paid to the humanities and natural sciences.

"The Journalism section typically has three to four subsections: "Media Presentation of Sociocultural Phenomena," "Modern Media Technologies," "Media Languages and Discourses," and "History of Journalism." Participants come from Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Moscow, Tomsk, and other cities," notes Natalya Simonova, secretary of the Journalism section.

According to her, the topics of the papers cover a wide range of research: from the representation of social issues and identities to the analysis of the language and style of Russian media, media concepts and media images, including audiovisual formats, as well as issues in the history of journalism and its understanding in modern media. In 2026, the section hopes to expand its scope and geographic participation, including through a remote format.

The Mathematics section also offers wide opportunities for young researchers.

"The 12 subsections of the Mathematics section provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to present their work in both classical theoretical disciplines and applied fields, but all presentations remain based on a solid mathematical foundation," explains Tatyana Tikhonova, section secretary.

Traditionally, section submissions are accepted in LaTeX format, which helps participants prepare for publication in leading scientific journals. The "Theoretical Cybernetics" and "Mathematical Modeling" subsections have been the most popular for many years—after selection, over 35 papers are submitted, so the sessions are held in several stages.

"Over the past two years, interest in the 'Monte Carlo Methods and Related Topics' subsection has grown significantly. Schoolchildren actively participate in its work, conducting undergraduate-level research," notes Tatyana Tikhonova.

The subsections "Algebra and Mathematical Logic," "Geometry and Analysis," and "Differential Equations" traditionally feature strict selection—attention is paid not only to the content but also to the style of presentation and the formatting of formulas. The subsection "Mathematical Economics" is particularly noteworthy, as participants receive assistance in refining their abstracts and refining their research papers.

For the third time, the Mathematics section will feature an English-language subsection, Problems and Prospects for the Development of the Scientific and Technological Space, where students learn to present their research in English and receive expert evaluation.

"Students from Russian and international universities, including the HSE, Tomsk, Altai, Irkutsk, St. Petersburg, Siberian, and Urgench universities, among others, regularly participate in the section's work," adds the section secretary.

The 2026 International Scientific Conference (ISC) is not only about scientific reports, but also about lively dialogue, professional connections, and the first step into a larger scientific community.

"Students majoring in Asian studies today truly have broad prospects, and our task is to prepare them well for this."

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

On February 5, Novosibirsk State University hosted a lecture and meeting with translators of Chinese literature, timed to coincide with the premiere of the Old House Theatre's production of Chinese writer Liu Zhenyun's novel "One Day Like Three Autumns." The speakers included translators and scholars of Chinese literature—Oksana Rodionova, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Asian Studies at St. Petersburg State University, Alexey Rodionov, First Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Asian Studies at St. Petersburg State University, and Natalia Dmitrieva, press secretary of the Old House Theatre—who addressed NSU students majoring in Asian studies and faculty.

The event provided a rare opportunity for students to experience contemporary Chinese literature firsthand through live interaction with the translators of the work that formed the basis of the theatrical production.

Opening the meeting, the director Confucius Institute of NSU Yulia Azarenko noted the particular value of such events for regional universities:

"We have a truly extraordinary event today—a lecture and meeting with translators of Chinese literature. For us, located far from Moscow and St. Petersburg—traditional centers of Oriental studies—this is especially important. An academic environment is essential for development, and this time, the Old House Theatre helped us create one here in Novosibirsk. We are meeting in connection with the premiere of a play staged by a Chinese director based on a contemporary work of Chinese literature."

Elena Voytishek, Head of the NSU Department of Oriental Studies, also delivered a welcoming speech, emphasizing the importance of reading and direct contact with books for humanities students:

"Our librarians always say, 'Orientalists are people who read.' Despite the digital age, humanities students need to feel a book—turn the pages, experience them tactilely. Today, we have the opportunity to experience the great culture of China through literature and through those who could be called 'carriers of meaning between civilizations'—translators. It's especially valuable that we have here both first-year students, just beginning their acquaintance with Eastern culture, and seniors who already have firsthand experience immersing themselves in it."

Alexey Rodionov noted the growing interest in Chinese literature in Russia and its significance in the contemporary cultural context:

"Oksana Petrovna and I are deeply honored to be at NSU today. I highly recommend taking this opportunity to see the performance at the Old House—it's a national cultural event with significant international implications. Orientalists are in demand today more than ever: Eastern culture has long been underrepresented in the public sphere, but that's changing."

According to him, official statistics from the Russian Book Union clearly demonstrate this process:

"In the nearly 300 years of literary ties between Russia and China, Chinese literature has never even made it into the top ten most translated literatures. But in 2021, it took 9th place for the first time, 8th in 2022, and 6th in 2024. There's reason to believe this trend will continue. Students majoring in Asian studies today truly have broad prospects, and our task is to prepare them well for this."

Oksana Rodionova's main lecture focused on the work of Liu Zhenyun, his biography, the historical context of his life, the characteristics of his artistic style, and the worlds presented in his works. Excerpts from the novel were also read during the presentation.

"Liu Zhenyun is one of the ten most famous contemporary Chinese writers. Six of his novels have been translated into Russian to date, and he is a favorite among Russian readers," said Oksana Rodionova. "Even in the 1980s, when China was beginning to actively absorb elements of Western culture, he remained true to himself: he wrote in simple language about the most important things."

According to the translator, it is precisely this simplicity that makes Liu Zhenyun's works particularly profound:

"There are no clearly good or bad characters in his books. Reading his texts, a person begins a dialogue with themselves, checks their internal coordinates, reflects on what is "good" and "bad." These books make you laugh, cry, and ultimately become kinder. Literature that teaches us to be human will always be relevant."

Natalia Dmitrieva, press secretary for the Stary Dom Theatre, spoke about how a literary work was transformed into a theatrical production. According to her, a year ago, the theatre invited Chinese director Ding Yiteng to conduct a series of master classes for the actors:

He is a young, incredibly energetic director who works at the intersection of contemporary theater and Peking opera. He calls himself "the grandson of Stanislavsky and Confucius." Our actors underwent intensive training in the traditions of Peking opera, where every movement has its precise emotional meaning. The immersion was total, and the director noted that the actors were in excellent psychophysical condition—a crucial aspect for the stage.

The lecture and meeting at NSU demonstrated how a literary text can exist in several dimensions simultaneously—literary, translational, and theatrical—and became an important event for students studying the language, culture, and literature of China.
