Reply to comment by green_flash in Putin expects China's Xi to visit in spring, wants to boost military cooperation by BeautyInTheNegitive

I would say his reputation can get a lot worse. He's not a pariah on the world stage yet like Putin.

Sure it could, but just by meeting Putin? Others have done that this year without much controversy, for example Kazakhstan's President and Armenia's PM.

A state visit is different from meeting someone at a summit though, Putin would try to maximize the propaganda win. I can't see much of an upside for Xi.
