US President Trump and Russian President Putin have been deadlocked in negotiations around the war in Ukraine, leaving space for China to benefit from this pause.
Asian Correspondent Peter Lewis says that China stands to gain two things from this situation.
Firstly, China can continue important oil and other products from Russia, as no final deal with the USA has been reached.
Secondly, the delay in trade negotiations has given China more time to create a new world trading order, keeping itself at the centre.
