When did Xi visit India in recent years? Did he get a national banquet in India?
Last informal visit to India was 2019. 第二次领导人非正式会晤/2nd leadership informal meeting
Last state visit was 2014.

State visit usually includes state banquet, but NOT necessary. The defining activities are gun solute, review of honor guard, introduction of delegation team and meeting of two head of state. In case of parliamentary country, meeting with prime minister. The absolute definition is the anouncement of "state visit" regardless the activities.

Regardless of what's geopolitically favorable, Russia is sure as hell losing influence fast with many of its clients and backyard nations, and has no one but itself to blame. Wouldn't surprise me if China took this as a sign to keep testing and breaking Russia's comfort threshold with respect to its increasing influence in Central Asia.
How can it lose influence in its client states when the main adversary that is US is leaving Europe to focus on Asia. Even if it feels like these countries are looking for an alternative, its momentary. Russia is only going to keep rising and expand its influence further with help from China, which often uses Russia as front man to have the military and political influence while China provides economic backing.

to focus on Asia.
Well the Caucuses is technically Western Asia is it not?

Momentary and yet in your OP supposedly once Russia is finished with Ukraine, whenever that will be, they have to immediately coup both Armenia and Azerbaijan.

If China wanted that, they would've devoted its entire industrial capacity to Russia's war effort by now.
which often uses Russia as front man to have the military and political influence while China provides economic backing.
You don't think the PRC has its own interest to expand its own influence with the former two categories?

You do know what I mean by Asia in this context. It means IndoPacom which is east and south east asia.

China is very careful about expanding its influence in former Soviet Union cause its sensitive for Russia. China expanding influence there without Russia's agreement is pretty much guaranteed to make Russia a new enemy for China, which China wants to avoid at all costs.

So, China mainly has economic relations in former Soviet states with strong agreement from Russia.

But not just former soviet union, even in places like eastern europe, Middle-east and Africa, China often lets Russia act as the security provider with Russian Arms exports and Russian forces like Wagner working there while China only provides economic influence with BRI. This is another of China's hide and bide strategy to reduce attacks from the west. The west focuses on Russia as the "Bad actor" while China stays in the shadows.

If Ukraine war is ending, then Russia will immediately go after these two wayward client states. Now that Georgia has gone pro-Russia, it will be easy for Russia to coup both countries.
Russia does not want to involve as much as before in these former Soviet states. It want to stability but to extend these countries want. This separation is done through Russian Muslims. That is now the advanced version of Russian civilization. There was video of helicopter ride/Drone? over Kaspiysk beach Dagestan on youtube more than decade ago. very underdeveloped beach at time but almost all blonde girls with long hair. i thought it was girls only beach but later found out that locals left the beach for tourists since the mountain tourism was not developed at the time. This tourism is far expanded now. this kind of society will not want too much involve itself in Central Asian states. Ukraine is different as it involve farmland and make it closer to Europe.

A tourist in Dagestan smashed local moralists to smithereens
The girl published photos and videos against the backdrop of Dagestani beauties, which some Internet users in Dagestan considered too “revealing.”
Unlike many of her predecessors, the pretty blonde did not even think of apologizing for her "indecent" appearance. On the contrary, the girl spoke out on the topic in a well-reasoned manner.
Now six million (million, - author) tourists will come to you. Are you going to write to everyone about wearing hijabs, to conduct educational work with everyone? Well, good luck!" - the young lady wished, not without irony.

Having caught her wave, the blonde model (I am sure that she did so without using any kind of courage potion – author) spoke specifically about moralists:
"A person who is clean inside cannot carry dirt on the outside, because he is clean inside, without dirt, there is none... You, 90 percent of those who write to me in the comments, live according to the norms of Sharia: pray five times a day, do not drink, do not smoke, did not have intercourse before marriage? No!", the tourist reasoned.
