Which countries are in the SCO. Schos and the new great horde
The Chinese position on the prospects for the role and place of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in global world was expressed by Xi Jinping at the welcome dinner on 06/09/18 in the following wording: “Let's make the Qingdao summit our new start. And at this start raising the sails of the "Shanghai Spirit" , together overcoming the storm and storms, we will set off on a new development campaign Shanghai Organization cooperation!” At the same time, Xi called on the countries and peoples of the SCO to “live in peace and harmony, help each other and be friendly as members of one big family ».
Skypoliticians note with satisfaction that Xi’s wording corresponds to the principles of relations between countries and peoples of non-Western civilizations, proposed by them back in 2011. new era information society, where it is no longer a hammer and sickle, but white the sail is a symbol of movement towards beauty, far beyond the dream of the ideal of a just and lasting peace for all.
Here is Putin's 2012 election slogan: "Catch the Chinese wind in the sails of the Russian economy." And Lermontov's poetic masterpiece "The lonely sail turns white." And classical Chinese poetry with the same artistic image of moving against the elements, where the storm appears driving force and the key to success. Here is the "Song of the Petrel" by M. Gorky calls the brave to "enjoy the battle of life"; “the power of anger, the thirst for passion and confidence in victory” are heard by those who argue with the wind.
It is noteworthy that the sail of the SCO at Xi Jinping on the shore yellow sea, like those of non-politicians, inflates Spirit of time and not just material interest and benefit.
Pleases non-politicians and Xi Jinping's thesis about family of nations . The point is not about the countries of the continental bloc, as in geopolitics. Not about the alliance of allies in opposition to the countries of the maritime bloc. But about the family of peoples of non-Western civilizations - the heirs of the Unified State of Genghis Khan "from sea to sea."
Where could Russia be? older sister"mentor, and China - the "big brother" patron of all kindred peoples of the same destiny mother earth and father in heaven.
The case is only for Russia's revenge from the position of a servant in a common European home to the status of wisdom that gives birth to meanings!
And the bitter truth of the moment boils down to this:
China is another (Middle-Earth) civilization that cannot give rise to ideas adequate to the worldview of the peoples of the biblical-Mediterranean civilization of Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Jerusalem.
China is a stubborn, industrious, scrupulous “Navel of the Earth”, which in centrifugal rotation absorbs innovations from the outskirts. According to the Law of Changes, the Center (yellow) occupied by the Middle State overcomes the North (black). The Center, on the other hand, overcomes the Light from the East, which Russia is called upon to “radiate” with a red-blue-white “tricolor” (see the flag in the intro).
So China is waiting for ideas from Russia, as from a spiritual mentor, but receives a gas pipeline. The gas pipeline is Russia's profit.
The Silk Road is also a profit. Not in vain for trade routes soulless people always sat (Jewish masters of money affairs - Rakhdonid merchants). The way to make a profit is known: to cash in on one, at the expense of others. So it turns out: instead of the Great Idea of Development presented to China on the Path of Heaven, liberal Russia gives Deception. Well, a couple of technologies in the form of the C400, which the Chinese will take apart to the screw, and then assemble them at home. What else can we give? After all, the Chinese are waiting. Because they themselves cannot give birth to a dream for everyone, but the Russians can, because the destiny of Russia is Universality.
They did not wait for Medvedev: the symbol of Russia at EXPO-2010 in Shanghai was the "dunno". They didn’t wait for Patriarch Kirill (he gave a samovar) and they don’t wait for Putin (“a slave in the galleys”).
Because Putin is not the spiritual mentor of the Great Country, but simply a friend of the Celestial Empire. Because he has no one else to be friends with. Everyone turned away. So the result of the visit will again be some kind of pipe or plane. And the Kremlin will not give the idea to China.
But there is non-politics, which has shown that it is capable and Museum of the Common Future for countries and peoples - heirs united state Genghis Khan to do. AND "mandate of heaven" Light from the East for acting Emperor Xi organize. And a symbol of the relationship of the new era "sail" already inserted into the brains of leaders.
Now about the perception of the SCO in China.
The official Chinese media talk about the SCO, first of all, as an instrument for implementing China's main foreign policy concept - "shaping the common destiny of mankind", announced by Xi Jinping in January 2017 in Davos.
Noting at the same time that the vast majority of participating countries, observer states and partner countries in the SCO dialogue carry out their interaction within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, as the main direction of "shaping the common destiny of mankind" for the peoples of non-Western civilizations.
As examples of such cooperation within the framework of the SCO, the Chinese media cite the Agreement on the Creation of Favorable Conditions for International Road Transport of 12.09.14.
Significant, at least 10 times, increase in the number of flights between China and the states of Central Asia over the past decade. The creation by China of at least 21 trade and economic cooperation zones outside its territory, which "contributes to the unification of regional interests."
Another important function of the SCO for China, the Chinese media called the positive significance of this organization in terms of strengthening "strategic mutual trust" between China and the Russian Federation.
The fact that China views the SCO primarily through the prism of its own interests foreign policy, that is, considers cooperation with other states within the framework of the SCO not as a goal, but as one of the instruments of its foreign policy - a completely normal position sovereign state which knows where and in what ways it aspires. The main thing is that for the rest of the “players” within the framework of the SCO, such a position of China should not come as a surprise or, moreover, as a disappointment.
If we talk about the intention of the planner, then the express assessment of the outcome of the SCO summit in Qingdao boils down to the following:
In 2020 for a short period - 12 years will be formally established within the framework of the SCO New Great Horde , where Xi will be the “great khan” (he has Mongolian roots in his family). Will Holy Rus' be able to become a conceptual mentor for the Chinese patron - and there is a fundamental question of the near future.
Xi's win: Putin will become the guardian of Eurasia (the symbol of militancy is a gift from the terracotta war with Putin's face). Russia, under sanctions, will crawl on its knees to the Xi court with gifts of local products (for money for reindustrialization).
Skypoliticians show how to become a mentor and maintain dignity. But in official instances, things are “not the best, but as always” according to interests, and not according to values.

Yes, with a sail - you cleverly realized it! If you show the same dexterity, then pass the “sky politics” through V.V. Putin to the same address, maybe Confucianism will replace China.
General Vladimirov. Putin's breakthrough There is a war going on, what are we doing?!
P.S. Here in the mobilization order they prescribed me the position of commander tank company, there has never been a military training camp after serving in the army. When the war starts, in order not to kill people, you will have to rip off your shoulder straps and join the ranks as a private.
“The power of anger, the FLAME (I don’t crave!) passion and confidence in victory…”
Fratello (from a previous thread):
“From what sources do you have information that the GB elite has surrendered the country? As far as I know, after the GKChP coup of 1991, all representatives of the state security were taken out of the state, i.e. the organ of the KGB of the USSR, as such, did not fulfill its functions until January 1992.
I don’t know if V.M. Shukshin said this or not:
“As a kid, I still determined who was a front-line soldier and who was a rat. They didn’t wear the first awards, they drank silently on the 8th and 9th ... And the rats in schools in orders, and about their exploits in the newspapers. Now you rarely see a front-line soldier anywhere ... ".
And my grandfather, a front-line soldier, was still closing in the kitchen, smoking and sobbing ... "
So after all, preparations for the surrender and derirban of the country (perhaps unconscious - they wanted the best, but it turned out, as always) began long before Gorbachev (and not just the State Emergency Committee). Even under the KGB of Andropov (apparently not without his participation), the assets of the USSR began to be transferred abroad to decoy "cuckoos" (individuals) and assets in colossal volumes (tens and probably hundreds of billions of dollars). At the same time, an “Institute of Convergence” (or whatever it is - System Analysis, or something) was created in Vienna, through which all these young reformers (Chubais and others like them) were driven through. And Putin, as they say, in the control department of the Presidential Administration of Yeltsin (where he was “attached” by Kudrin and Chubais), apparently, was engaged in “collecting” these assets (and then, perhaps, when he became president, he was issuing and distributing assets to trusted persons). Yes, but, apparently, no one explained to him that the Russian Federation has absolutely nothing to do with these assets (although they are recorded on private individuals). These are the assets of the USSR, and the RF of democratic choice is not only not the successor of the USSR, but not even the successor of the RSFSR (after the execution of the Supreme Soviet - supreme power RSFSR). And Western sanctions (primarily in the credit and financial sector) are by no means “for Crimea” (Crimea is just an excuse), but for financial swindle and financial speculation organized and carried out (by the FSB and other home-grown speculators-swindlers who seized " to free "together with Western swindlers - one "pound of dashing" is not enough for them ... they are eager to make "three pounds of dashing" out of every pound of dashing, that is, more than they inflated the "dollar mass" to tens of trillions of "empty zeros") under pledge of embezzled (simply - stolen) assets of the USSR, plus an attempt to carry out rearmament and create new tensions (after Gorbachev's detente) for other people's "dollars" ... When it "reached" the financiers of the global level that the assets were obtained fraudulently (in simple terms - thieves) way, then there were "sanctions".
As already written:
first, credit lines were closed (which were opened on the security of embezzled Soviet assets), then the freezing (but not withdrawal) of the assets themselves, then there are questions about the sources of capital large companies(All the same, with funds received on the security of stolen assets). And further down the list: the authorities (but not the people) of the Russian Federation are declared financial swindlers and currency speculators, then gangster-thieves and even terrorist (terrorizing "their" people, as well as near and far ...), which is rampant on the world stage (illegal trade weapons, drugs..., illegal gangs of "Wagners" walk and fight - from which Putin brushes off saying - yes, he has some commercial interests there ... yeah - with machine guns in his hands ... etc.) and, accordingly, it (the authorities) should “to control” (i.e. put in place), otherwise it already comes to the point that Putin “offered a roof” to Macron at SPbEF (they say “instead of the American one”) - well, it’s like he “confused the frames” or the “roof went” at the very “roof” - “brother from the 90s” with such a proposal and to the gentleman - he was already taken aback and, not knowing what to answer to such a quirk, he only said something incoherent ...
If the "first face" does not know all this, then he is really nobody and nothing, and there is no way to call, and if he knows, but on blue eye carries a "blizzard" about "sanctions against all 146 million Russians" shielding his thieves, then he is a bastard and a scoundrel.
But more about all this some other time.
And, yes, as they say, those same gold bars with tungsten cores that were transferred / “returned” to China (I don’t remember for what reason) are also of Russian origin and those who transferred the “finger pointed” to the “source” of this “golden tungsten” ". After and, apparently, as a result of which, Putin's Russian Federation at its own expense began to build the "Power of Siberia" at an accelerated pace and, probably for the same reason, as they say, leased 1 million 880 (or something) thousand for 49 years hectare of forest. And this is also the reason for the “deflection” and “crawling on all fours” before acting. emperor comrade. Si. And we don’t care about TV, that intelligence “rubs crap” about “the greatness and worthy face of the Russian authorities.”
And the sources of information - so they are now, one might say, open. It is only necessary to put the question correctly and the information “will find you by itself”.
At the expense of front-line soldiers and WINNERS. The whole country won in the Second World War, and not just the “front-line soldiers”. Without an organized and massive rear, there was no victory in the war, b. So ALL Soviet people won, and not just those who were at the front. It was about WINNERS. Although, as the current situation shows, the current Kremlin with the Vlasov tricolor and a two-headed freak has already PRIVATIZED Victory, as neighbors in the republics say ... Putin is already credited with “victory in the Second World War” by his ass-lickers. Thieves and swindlers - they are thieves and swindlers. They have no respect or the slightest bit of trust.
There is no grace for you in anything;
With happiness you have discord:
And you are beautiful inopportunely
And smart you are out of place.
Gennady (from the previous thread)
I assure you that my grandfather and the sobbing old man “either Arina, or a stranger from Odessa” are not the same person (you can take my word for it).
Most importantly, do not bury your revealed talent as a historian in the ground. Get down to your dissertation right away. The works of "world-famous science fiction writers", incl. which you so wittily addressed to me, help you!
I am sure that the current intelligentsia will appreciate your masterpiece. Look and the title is ready "Elementary details from Soviet life."
Monsignore, I didn’t go through academies, I didn’t finish them, so I won’t write dissertations, I’m a worker of synthetic labor.
Andrei Petrovich,
I'm interested in the following general question. If you look at the Map of Europe from the Chinese side, then France is obviously the West (as well as Japan) - from France to China you have to sail through Japan
Orange Holland is apparently also the West.
But black and yellow Teutonic Germany - is it the West - or is it already the North? or East. After all, access there was through the Horde, on land?
then it turns out that from the point of view of China, France-Holland and Rus' + Germany are fundamentally different spaces? Or is Holland also the North? or Germany is the West?
can you help me sort it out? If France and Germany are two around the world from the Chinese side, then both world wars receive a logical explanation.
Gennady
Ahhh, now I understand! Brains from the same material as labor... And what were the hopes!
Passerby
You, apparently, have not learned how to draw historical parallels. I propose to recall the role of dissidents in the destruction of the country and compare them with the current conscientious bloggers, journalists with "leftist" convictions and other candidates for the presidency of the Russian Federation with foreign accounts. At the same time, link the visits of some Hollywood actors, their meetings with individual party leaders and the laying of flowers at the mausoleum, the activation of pro-Soviet sites with an allegedly patriotic platform, but for some reason with registration abroad.
And for starters, look at the biography of the "patriot" Konstantin Semin, references to which are so fond of making a fan of the USSR with the nickname "technologist". Particularly interesting is the period of K. Semin's life since 2012 (I think you will find it yourself, and draw your own conclusions).
PS: there is such a blow in boxing, it is called a “left hook”, an insidious blow, I must say ....
Monsignore, so you are not a monsignor, but an ordinary tram boor?
I deprive you of the title of "Monsignore" forever.
Gennady, you won't believe it, but I'll survive.
Those holding back, who are sitting in the Kremlin and around it, will not go on the attack - this is not their planid. Sons who saw big war, still afraid to go on the attack. Only with a change in the generation of the rulers of the Kremlin, when grandchildren come who have not seen the horrors of war and have not absorbed this horror with their mother’s milk, who are not afraid of death and defeat, then there will be someone to take up the unfurled banner and lead the regiments to attack. But not before.
At the SCO summit in Qingdao, China, they talked about free trade, the fight against diktat (hello America with its import restrictions) and, of course, countering terrorism. Roman Ishmukhametov chose the most interesting.
All together, the "Great Eurasian G8" represent almost half of the world's population, a quarter of the world's GDP and two-thirds of the territory of our continent. Established 18 years ago to solve regional problems, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization today is a global association with great responsibility.
— We have an increasing responsibility to ensure stability and security, as well as to promote development and prosperity in the region, Chinese President Xi Jinping said.
The market volumes of the SCO countries already significantly exceed the volumes of the G7 states. China and India literally set records in their economic development, other countries of the association are equal to them. The core of the world economy is shifting from West to East.
While in Qingdao the leaders of the SCO countries expressed their firm "no" to trade protectionism, there were reports from Canada about a possible restriction of the supply of European cars to the United States.
Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly stated that he does not aim to return to this Closed club, repeated again - our country successfully works in other international associations such as the G20. And a possible productive dialogue with the West can hardly be helped by the unfounded accusations of the West in the poisoning of the Skripals or the incomprehensible wording “about destabilizing behavior” of our country, enshrined in the final communiqué following the meetings of the G7 leaders.
- As for destabilizing actions, as well as with respect to other events, in particular - everyone showed solidarity with London over the well-known event in Salisbury. Nothing concrete is said again, everything is said that this happened with a high degree of probability. Solidarity in this regard arises on some shaky ground. It seems to me that we need to stop all this chatter and move on to specific issues related to real cooperation, Vladimir Putin said.
The Syrian settlement, the US withdrawal from the deal with Iran, the North Korean nuclear program, the fight against terrorism - and these are just the most acute problems which cannot be solved without Russia. The Ukrainian conflict stands apart among them - Putin was asked to comment on the conversation with Petro Poroshenko. Is Kyiv going to comply with the Minsk agreements? There is cautious optimism in the president's words.
— Since the initiative of this conversation came from the Ukrainian side, I think this is already showing interest in a settlement. In any case, I really hope so. We discussed issues related to the extradition of people who are being held by both sides, and discussed, on my initiative, the fate of the Russian journalist. It is still premature to talk about how this issue will be resolved, I would refrain, first of all, in order not to violate anything here and not interfere with anything, Vladimir Putin noted.
Putin's press conference was the result of a state visit to China.
Known in the world as the city of "sails" - Qingdao. Once upon a time, numerous ships left here for their dream. These days a new development was launched here. No one doubts that the high sails of the Shanghai spirit of cooperation will overcome any hurricanes and storms.
MOSCOW, June 10 - RIA Novosti. On Sunday, the regular summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) ended in Qingdao, China, following which the leaders of the participating countries adopted 17 different documents, and the summit itself was marked by the fact that India and Pakistan participated in it for the first time as full members of the organization.

The leaders of the SCO member states also said that they would study the prospects for expanding the use of national currencies in trade and investment activity and noted the contacts between the DPRK and the United States, called on everyone to assist the negotiation process.

The leaders of the SCO countries called for the development of a document under the auspices of the UN on combating the use of information technologies for criminal purposes.
The declaration also states that the SCO members support the initiative to develop an international convention at the disarmament conference to combat acts of chemical and biological terrorism.
Following the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO Member States, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that the countries of the organization are against trade protectionism and are in favor of strengthening a transparent and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system. According to him, the summit expressed readiness to "deepen cooperation in the trade, economic, investment, financial, agricultural spheres, create favorable conditions for trade and investment in order to open new architecture in the development of regional integration for the benefit of the peoples of the countries of the region, as well as to give a new impetus to the development of the world economy".
Xi Jinping noted that the leaders of the SCO member countries at the summit in Qingdao agreed to adhere to the concept of indivisible, comprehensive and sustainable security.
Summit 2019
On Sunday, it became known that the next meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO Member States will be held on June 14-15, 2019 in Kyrgyzstan.
President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbai Jeenbekov said that the country, as the chairman of the SCO, will continue to strengthen the "Shanghai spirit" of mutual trust and understanding, constructive and fruitful cooperation, friendship and good neighborliness between peoples.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, for his part, stressed that China would assist Kyrgyzstan in preparing for the summit.
On July 10, Ufa hosted a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which includes Russia, China and four countries of Central Asia. At this summit, Pakistan and India decided to join the organization, which will allow the organization to strengthen its influence. The SCO members also published a statement dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, in which the parties expressed a common position on historical issues.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization will have new members for the first time since 2001. The decision on the applications of India and Pakistan was made right during the summit. Also, the heads of the six countries signed the Ufa Declaration, which included items on the fight against terrorism and the expansion of the organization in the future.
At the summit, President Putin said that the development of the SCO had reached a new level. In the presence of the leaders of India and Pakistan, Chinese President Xi Jinping noted that the entry of India and Pakistan would give new strength to the SCO. “Indian Dreams Come True Through Collaboration With neighboring countries. India will provide the SCO with comprehensive support,” said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India joined the SCO to strengthen economic cooperation with China and Russia. At the same time, the Indian authorities attach great importance to relations with the United States. The Modi administration launched the "Make in India" initiative. Indian authorities are hoping for investment from China. India has also joined China's Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). It cooperates with Russia in the construction of nuclear power plants and the development of weapons.
The Xi administration is strengthening relations with India to put pressure on the US and Japan, which are moving closer to India to contain the PRC. China and India have their own territorial disputes. Building good neighborly relations between these countries will certainly benefit the idea of "one belt, one road", which should connect Asia with Europe.
Russia has other intentions. Together with China, they oppose the West. At the same time, Russia is wary of the strengthening of Chinese influence in Central Asia. According to Russian political analysts, the Kremlin hopes that India's involvement will limit China's influence and maintain a balance in the SCO.
With regard to the 70th anniversary of the end of the war, the members of the organization made the following statement: “We undertake to resolutely reject new attempts to distort the results of the Second World War. With the scourge of war in mind, we emphasize that building a future of peace and development is our common duty.” On historical issues, Russia and China act as a united front. Their goal is to put pressure on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who plans to issue a statement this summer to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Questions and answers
— What is the SCO?
— international organization, founded in 2001 by the leaders of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The predecessor is the Shanghai Five.
- What does she do?
- Initially, the organization was engaged in countering terrorism and separatist sentiments. Since 2007, members of the organization have been conducting joint anti-terror exercises. The parties are increasingly acting as allies in military matters. The countries are also strengthening cooperation in areas such as infrastructure development and energy.
— What is the difference from BRICS?
— The SCO is built around the relationship between China and Russia with the countries of Central Asia. The BRICS also includes such rapidly developing countries as China, Russia, India, Brazil and South Africa. This group is mainly focused on economic cooperation. The goal of BRICS is to strengthen the influence of member countries in the international arena.
Statements on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory over Germany
— We honor the memory of the fallen heroes who courageously fought in the Second World War for a just cause, and express sincere gratitude countries and foreign friends who helped the Chinese people in the fight against the aggression of Japanese militarism.
We deeply honor the feat of our peoples and will do everything to prevent a repetition of the tragedy that brought the world to the brink of destruction.
We commit ourselves to resolutely reject ongoing attempts to distort the results of the Second World War.
The main points of the Ufa Declaration
— Member States have expressed serious concern about the increase in international terrorism and extremism.
— Member States call for the strengthening of the post-World War II global governance mechanisms, primarily the UN system, based on the principles of equal and indivisible security, mutual consideration of interests and the rule of law.
— The Member States are convinced that the unilateral and unlimited build-up of missile defense systems by individual states or groups of states will harm international security and destabilize the situation in the world.
- The Member States will strengthen cooperation in the formation of an integrated security system in the information space.
— The Member States stand for the speedy restoration of peace in Ukraine on the basis of the full and unconditional implementation by all parties of the Minsk agreements of February 12, 2015.
— Settlement of political crises in the Middle East region and North Africa should proceed on the basis of mutual respect for interests, the supremacy of norms and principles international law without outside interference.
- Support for the Chinese idea of "one belt, one road."
Another meeting of leaders Central Asia and their neighbors in the region - that is, the SCO summit in Qingdao (China) - once again raises the question: how viable is an organization in which both superpowers and smaller countries participate?
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has always had this problem. It was created on the principle of a sandwich: big Russia and China - and the countries of Central Asia between them.
And here, for the first time, a huge India (and a more modest Pakistan) joined the team as full members of the organization. Who benefited from this? Have the interests of the Central Asian countries been overshadowed by heavyweights with their own complicated relationship, does this situation harm the interests of other members?
Results of the SCO summit in Qingdao
To begin with, the results of the summit - and the results of the year of work of the SCO announced there - speak for themselves. 17 documents necessary for further integration of the economies of the member countries were agreed upon and signed.
And it is also impossible to assess whether numerous bilateral projects would have happened (for example, along the Kazakhstan-China line, but also for other pairs of states), if the SCO had not created general atmosphere stability and predictability in a complex and contentious region.
Results of the SCO summit for Tajikistan
During the two-day summit, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon held bilateral meetings with the leaders of the SCO member states. The talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping deserve special attention.
Politicians discussed trade and economic cooperation and security in Central Asia.
"We must regularly direct joint efforts to strengthen peace, security and stability, as well as the development of trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian relations within the SCO," said Emomali Rahmon, speaking at the Qingdao summit.
One of the outcomes of the summit was that the representative of Tajikistan, Dzhumakhon Giyosov, became the director of the Executive Committee of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure of the SCO.
Outcomes of the parallel G7 summit in Quebec
But as far as geopolitics is concerned, it just so happened that there were two summits last weekend. Simultaneously with the "big East" in Qingdao, the "big West" - G7 met in Quebec, Canada. And here it was impossible not to be glad that we, the members of the SCO, were in the right place at the right time.
Before Quebec, let us recall, several lines of split in the "seven" were revealed, including on the issue of its truncated composition.
"Russia should be at the meeting, why are we having a meeting without Russia?" the President of the United States suddenly spoke out.
“You see, whether you like it or not, and it may sound politically incorrect, we have the control of the world in our hands,” he said. And he received the support of Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conti, but provoked fierce resistance from the leaders of Germany and Canada.
The G8 of the SCO overtook the G7 in terms of GDP
But even if Russia, represented by President Vladimir Putin, received an invitation to Quebec, Putin would not go there simply because he had his own summit, where the issue was also about ruling the world. In Quebec - "seven", in Qingdao - "eight".
The West cursed not only about Russia. The main problem of "their" summit was called a trade war - the US against everyone. In Qingdao it was exactly the opposite. There is complete unanimity on the issue that sanctions and prohibitive customs tariffs do not work for us, they are not our method.
Perhaps the most interesting result of many years of work of the SCO became known as if by accident. At the final press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin, as if casually, in response to a question, mentioned that, in general, the total GDP of the SCO countries is greater than that of the G7 (if we count at purchasing power parity of currencies). So any of the SCO members can say today that they are members of the most powerful international club in terms of economic volume.
India in the SCO as a sensation
And a few more words about geopolitics, especially related to the appearance of a new member in the SCO this year - India. Russian-Indian-Chinese diplomacy on the eve of Qingdao and at the meeting itself turned out to be virtually a sensation.
This, in fact, is about the virtuoso activity of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in building equal relations with all centers of power in the world. Last summer there was an Indo-Chinese border conflict in Doklam (in the Himalayas). Further, India joined the Australia-Japan-US alliance, and it began to appear that the Asian giant would be involved in the growing pressure on China's southern maritime borders - recall the recent incident between the US and Chinese air forces and navies in the South China Sea.
The "roll to the West" had its own logic - the country's negotiating positions must be strong, teeth must sometimes be shown, at least in a smile. But then there were two summits before this summit in Qingdao. That is, Modi first asked for an informal meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Wuhan, and then came to Vladimir Putin in Sochi. In all cases, it was about the common sense of the foreign policy of the three powers.
Following two surprise meetings, Modi spoke last week at the annual Asian Security Forum in Singapore (known as "Shangri-La"), where he made quite clear his neutral, balancing position in all naval games near China's borders.
And about the meaning of relations in the Delhi-Beijing-Moscow triangle, Indian analysts said: “India needs Russia to maintain a strategic peace with China, to guarantee India’s geopolitical rise ... Russia can serve as a bridge of stability for India with China. Moreover, Russia can help India to become a major power, and this is another reason for India to firmly hold the hand of Putin."
And - in contrast - on the day the SCO summit ended, it became known how the G-7 summit in Canada ended. Trump left without waiting for the end. And he did not sign the final document.
Let's remember that in the SCO there are a lot of disputes and disagreements between large and small countries. But no one slams the doors. The SCO, as a negotiating platform, softens any contradictions. And supports general principles and rules of the game in the region. Namely, such: disputes should be resolved by diplomacy, trade should go to the common benefit, sanctions and trade wars do not belong here.
