As Putin’s milestone trip to Beijing wraps up, this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ puts the summit under a microscope, bringing in the president of Russia’s Asia Pacific research center, Sergey Sanakoev, for some expert insight. Rick was surprised that Russia and China signed over 40 documents during the two-day summit. Sanakoev keeps those surprises coming, telling us that the countries sign the same amount every single year. He also didn’t mince words about Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing a week prior, calling the American delegation shockingly unqualified. Sanakoev says Washington had no leverage to dictate terms to China after failing in Iran.
