TL;DR
Chinese Prez Xi JinpingĀ is rolling out the red carpet for Vladimir PutinĀ and Narendra ModiĀ at the SCO summit in Tianjin (Aug 31āSept 1, 2025)Ā š©. This is Modiās first visit to China in 7 yearsĀ after border tensions š£. The meet is less about real deals and more about showing unity of the Global SouthĀ against Western pressure šŖ. Putin will even stay back for a WWII parade in BeijingĀ šļø. The whole vibe: optics, solidarity, and a big ādonāt ignore usā message to the world š.

š The Grand Stage
š Xi is hosting over 20 world leadersĀ at the biggest SCO summit ever.šø The main goal? A visual show of unityĀ more than actual problem-solving.š¬ Analysts say itās a symbolic flex against Western dominance.

š« PM Modi in China after 7 years of no visitĀ ā huge move.š¤ Talks could mean border troop pullback, easier trade & visas, climate teamwork š± and more cultural exchange.ā” But issues remain ā India recently refused a joint SCO note that skipped mentioning the Kashmir attackĀ and also stayed away from anti-Israel positions.
š·šŗ Putinās Power Play
šŖ Putinās presence = Russia still strong despite sanctions.šļø After the summit, heāll be Xiās guest at a World War II paradeĀ in Beijing.š Ahead of the meet, Russian officials came to China to discuss ways to beat sanctions, boost trade, and create youth ties.š¢ Xi himself said China & Russia must guard their security and development interestsĀ to shape a fairer world order š.
š” What It All Means
š This isnāt about solving every problem ā itās about showing Global South unity.š Western sanctions, tariffs, and pressures have pushed these nations to stand closer.š®š³ For India, this is also a smart way to balance ties with China while facing tariff heat from the US.š·šŗ For Russia, the summit proves itās not isolated, it still has friends.
