In Samarkand, Uzbekistan, the SCO summit has just ended. The timing of the summit is sensitive, as tensions between Russia and Ukraine and the tightening of monetary policy in the United States and Europe have been carried out. The world is watching the summit and the participating countries are looking forward to it.
After all, the developed countries now are following the United States. They though also.
They have their own interests, but they are always on the side when it comes to developing countries. Therefore, many developing countries want to find a way to make a breakthrough.
This SCO summit looks low-key on the surface, and there is no sensational news. But in reality, it has achieved a lot of results, some of which in the past may not have even been thought of.
From a geopolitical point of view, the biggest breakthrough at the SCO summit is that China, Russia, and Iran have formed a solid triangular relationship on the Eurasian continent. This triangular relationship can be said to be a major strategic setback for the United States, and many of its plans have already failed, and it is only a matter of time.
Regarding the triangular relationship between China, Russia and Iran, I have already made a detailed analysis in my previous article "This Triangular Strategy Has Taken Shape, and the United States Has Predicted the Situation It Least Wants to See." But now, this triangle has been officially made public, because Iran officially joined the SCO at the Samarkand summit and became the ninth member state.
Once Iran becomes a full member, the current Eurasian continent, from China in the east, Russia in the west, and then Iran in the Middle East, will be connected and become a geostrategic organic whole. And this time it is not only Iran that has joined the SCO, but also the formal establishment of this triangular relationship.
The establishment of this triangular relationship is of great significance. Because next, the SCO may be further expanded.
At the summit in Samarkand, Belarus not only started the process of joining the SCO, but also said that it would grant Bahrain, Maldives, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Myanmar the status of dialogue partners, and signed a memorandum of understanding granting Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar the status of dialogue partners, and the SCO is expected to continue to expand in the future.
This triangle is like a framework, and this triangle is the pillar of the whole framework. Why are these three the only ones that are the real pillars in so many countries?
If we look at it from another angle, it will be clearer. These three countries are actually the three biggest pressure points.
For a long time, the United States has been isolated overseas, and the world's economic center of gravity is in the Eurasian continent. But as the leader of the Western world, the United States is on the American continent. The United States is equivalent to an offshore island country on the Eurasian continent, so in terms of foreign policy, it is easy to adopt Britain's continental equilibrium policy.
In other words, that is, to pursue a-stirring stick policy and mess up the Eurasian continent, especially the combination of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and the Middle East, then the economic exchanges on the entire Eurasian continent must be carried out on a large scale by sea. The United States, on the other hand, controls global logistics and economic and trade security by controlling key straits and shipping lanes.
There is nothing new about this strategy, but it has been a difficult problem for nearly a hundred years. It is difficult for the United States to make it easy to do bad in the heart of the Eurasian continent, but it is difficult to unite everyone. It is full of historical conflicts and hatreds, and it is not so easy to turn hostility into peace.
Even today, the United States has successfully provoked the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, they were originally a country and a fraternal nation, but now they are fighting each other. Not only that, under the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the clouds of war have once again rolled up on the European continent, European countries have begun to turn to the United States, and energy cooperation between Russia and Europe has been cut off.
A new Iron Curtain is slowly falling on the European continent.
This is exactly the usual method used by the United States, and the ancient Eurasian continent has already experienced countless wars and conflicts, and how to unite everyone has become a big country on the continent and must ponder. The SCO, which was founded with the goal of combating the three forces, has gradually found its most urgent mission in the context of history.
That is to unite the Eurasian continent and prevent foreign countries from dividing and conquering.
The United States, a country outside the Eurasian continent, is extremely vigilant against all activities on the continent that contribute to unity. Because for every little bit of solidarity and mutual trust here, there is less room for the United States to maneuver. The SCO is undoubtedly a thorn in the side of NATO under the leadership of the United States.
This time, Iran became a full member, and many other countries in the Middle East became dialogue partners, including Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
