similar goals. we have exerted efforts for the prosperity of our respective countries. we can cooperate and work together to achieve our goals. reporter: but china has so far drawn the line at military aid for russia s war. there are concerns that may change, but right now it s only chinese diplomacy on the table. the kremlin-leaning peace plan calling for talks but stopping short of demanding a russian withdraw, a key ukrainian demand. translator: we have carefully studied your proposals onseting the acute crises in ukraine. of course we ll have an opportunity to discuss these issues. reporter: there s little sign putin is open to compromise. this was the russian leader on sunday, driving through the captured and devastated city of mariupol. local residents, according to state media, are shown thanking him and asking to shake hands when a heckler briefly makes her breath heard. none of this is true is the cry. it s all for show. the russian leader seems undisturbed. no

a building on a unholy alliance and mark warner on what he sees as a growing threat from china period. welcome, everybody. i m neil cavuto. let s get to it with peter doocy at the white house on how they re digesting all of this. peter? officials are saying this putin and xi get-together is a marriage of convenience. xi thinks that putin can help him challenge american influence. putin thinks that xi can help him in ukraine. for putin, he s speaking about his chinese visitor in glowing terms. over the last years, china has made a huge leap forward in its development. in the whole world, it s a genuine interest and we re jealous a bit. the way that the president s foreign policy when it comes to this is being explained to us, there s no effort to try to contain chinese influence in the world. instead, they would rather try to promote america s interests. do you think that putin and xi fear president biden? you d have to ask them whether they fear or they not. it s no
