THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VISIT TO CHINA HAS BEEN CRITICIZED AT BOTH THE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN LEVELS.

       Despite the extensive media coverages on the Russian President visit to Beijing China and the most honored warmest Presidential welcome offered to the President, President Putin visit to China early today has been widely criticized at both the domestic and the foreign levels in Russia, or China and around the world respectively as not a visit of older brothers, or of the world's major power countries, but rather of two major economic markets striving for more economic power amidst China's growing economic power and Russia's intention to expand its pipelines with the sales of its abundant natural gas to China and perhaps to many other Asian countries, eventhough significant topics have been either discussed, or emphasized in the meeting of the two major power countries between the two leaders President Hu of China and President Putin of Russia. However, some of the topics discussed entailed the countries refusal for a joined military action against Syria as the alternative solution to the resolution of the current conflict in Syria and the Middle Eastern countries with some Arab World countries growing fear, or anxiety, due to Iran's nuclear power ambition.
