Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin marked the opening of the 10th China-Russia Expo in Harbin by calling for a "more just and equitable" global order.
The summit highlights a booming economic partnership, with bilateral trade exceeding $200 billion annually as the two nations integrate their energy, space, and technology sectors.
