At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin, President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin jointly denounced Western “bullying behavior” and endorsed a multilateral global framework led by bodies like the UN and WTO. Xi pledged 2 billion yuan in aid and 10 billion yuan in loans to SCO member states, signaling deepening economic cooperation. Putin blamed the Ukraine war on Western provocation, including NATO expansion and support for a 2014 coup, and praised diplomatic efforts by China and India. Both leaders framed the summit as a counterweight to Western-dominated alliances like NATO. Their unity underscores a growing alignment among non-Western powers asserting a new global balance.
