Xi's visit to Russia was humbling for Putin and showed how much China is dominant, experts say

• China appears to have cemented its dominance over Russia in a summit this week. 
• Xi Jinping secured sweeping trade agreements after the summit with Vladimir Putin. 
• In return Putin appears to have gained some photo ops, but little added concrete support in Ukraine.  

During President Xi Jinping's first visit to Moscow since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine this week, Russia's President Vladimir Putin seemed keen to impress.

Putin is known for the power games he plays when meeting world leaders, sometimes keeping them waiting for hours and trying to intimidate them.
