Xi and Putin Stand Shoulder to Shoulder as China Casts Itself an Alternative Global Leader

Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin emphasized multipolarity and multilateral trade at the SCO summit, highlighting cooperation in technology and energy among emerging global powers.

  • This week, Xi Jinping urged leaders at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin to build a new global order using their "mega-scale market" and confirmed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will attend the 80th anniversary Victory Day parade this week, joining leaders close to Xi.
  • At the Tianjin SCO summit, Xi Jinping said the forum offers "a model for a new type of international relations" amid tariff friction, while China pledged 2 billion yuan in aid and 10 billion yuan in loans this year to members.
  • The Victory Day parade will feature a 70-minute display with tens of thousands of troops marching in Tiananmen Square.
  • This week the leaders' gathering creates a rare geopolitical moment, with analysts warning a strengthened China-Russia partnership raises risks amid strained EU and US relations, while BRICS cautioned unilateral tariffs risk global economic harm.
  • Xi Jinping urged equal, orderly multipolarisation and inclusive economic globalisation to build a just global governance system, opposing bloc confrontation this year.
