China's Xi Jinping at the multilateral summit in Samarkand - Uzbekistan - allo Shanghai Cooperation Organization (Sco) will probably decree the vision of a new world order by now no longer unilateral, with the US license plate. After the meeting last July between the representatives of the emerging BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa) at the XIVth summit held in Beijing, this week in Ubekistan we will try to include Argentina and Iran in the anti-Western bloc with the ultimate intent to circumvent India too in the short term.
The American presence in the Indo-Pacific and Pelosi's insult in Taiwan has not been digested by Beijing, which thus wants to contrast new global alliances with the regional stars and stripes (Quad and Aukus). Xi's idea is to propose to New Delhi the pre-emption on a series of trade exchanges between the most populous nations on the planet. The Sco born 21 years ago to fight terrorism, separatism and extremism today mutates another strategic interest consisting of energy, security and economic cooperation, as Maurizio Molinari writes in Repubblica.
China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Iran want to concentrate on Eurasia where Xi points to the new "Silk Road" which, as is well known, also includes Ukraine.
Sco and Brics together will be the perfect block to counter to the USA, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Oceania which, for their part, will no longer be able to count on the vast majority of the planet's population and will therefore lose important market shares.
The litmus test of Western impotence is given by the sanctions imposed on Russia which, in fact, have not severely penalized Moscow's economy. This was reiterated by the number three of the Chinese regime, Li Zhanshu who at the Vladivostock Economic Forum said: "We are pleased to see that under the leadership of President Putin the Russian economy has not been defeated by the harsh economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other Western countries".
