MOSCOW - Xi Jinping stressed that the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. As long as China and Russia maintain strategic steadfastness and continue strategic coordination, no force can stop the developmental rise of our two countries, no force can reverse the people's deep-rooted will for Sino-Russian friendship across generations, no force can stop the historic surge of multipolarity and economic globalization.
