China willing to help Russia's economy amid crisis

China is prepared to help Russia's economy if necessary, but believes Russia has the "wisdom" to overcome its economic difficulties.

That's according to statements from China's Foreign Minister published in a Chinese state newspaper on Monday.

Russia is facing severe economic difficulties, with the rouble having lost around half its value this year against the dollar, and a recession expected to begin in the next few months.
