Einar Tangen: Russia, China, Iran & India Build a New World Order at the SCO Summit

The SCO summit's display of cooperation among major powers undermines U.S. hegemony and promotes a multipolar system based on consensus, mutual security, and respect for sovereignty.

The U.S. acts as a bully imposing tariffs and threats because it fears a larger power coalition and projects its own hegemonic, extractive intentions onto rising nations.

Russia and China have complementary economic goals in the SCO, with Russia pushing for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline while China negotiates terms carefully to avoid crisis-driven pressure.

India faces a strategic dilemma as its U.S. partnership yields poor treatment and tariffs while its economic ties with China grow, and Washington rejects India's bid for independent power status.

Indian media falsely blamed China for a natural disaster in Nepal to create leverage, indicating a coordinated narrative push that reflects India's attempt to play both sides.

Iran's SCO participation strengthens the bloc as many nations fear similar U.S. aggression, though they remain skeptical that China will avoid hegemonic extraction.

Historical colonialism relied on creating shortages and extraction, whereas modern economics requires efficiency and technology sharing, a shift the U.S. and Europe struggle to accept.
