Yet, according to observers, the summits highlight Beijing’s growing ability to manage its two most important relationships on separate tracks: sustaining a deep strategic partnership with Moscow, while pursuing a more transactional, stability-focused engagement with Washington.

They argued it would continue to test Beijing’s capacity to navigate divergent interests against the backdrop of protracted conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, energy market turbulence and an increasingly multipolar nuclear order.
