🌏 POWER OF SIBERIA 2: Warning to West, beacon for Global South

Russia, China, and Mongolia have inked a legally binding memo to build the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline.

💥 Here's why this is a MAJOR BLOW for Europe:

🟠 The new pipeline will connect Western Siberia’s gas fields to China via Mongolia, tapping fields once supplying Europe. Supported by the Soyuz Vostok transit line, it will have a capacity of 50 billion cubic meters per year.

🟠 For Russia, "it is important to increase its exports of gas and to compensate for the loss of the European market," international affairs analyst Gilbert Doctorow tells Sputnik.

🟠 With US-China tensions and Western control over chokepoints for supplies of liquified natural gas (LNG) from the Middle East, it makes sense for China to strike a deal with Russia to secure more pipeline gas.

"This project sends a signal to the West that China is not abandoning energy cooperation with Russia, especially at a time when the US is urging punishment of Russia’s trading partners," Russia’s National Energy Security Fund expert Stanislav Mitrakhovich says.

🟠 This cooperation sends a signal to the Global South that major countries, such as India, China and Russia, can reach agreements without regard for the West — even under Western pressure. Symbolically, this shows the Global South’s sovereignty and strength.

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇳 SCO: Russia, China and India deepen strategic cooperation

The SCO summit sees China, Russia and India getting much closer, Fabio Massimo Parenti, associate professor of international political economy at the China Foreign Affairs University, tells Sputnik.

💬 "The result of the SCO, as we saw at the very end in the trilateral handshaking of Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi, is that India is likely to become another decision-maker and moving force in SCO," echoes Gilbert Doctorow, an international relations and Russian affairs analyst.

SCO's growing geopolitical weight:

🟠 The SCO is moving into a financial and commercial trading dimension. China's economic growth remains a driving force

🟠 SCO is important in implementing new Eurasian trade routes. The North-South Corridor has important ramifications in the whole Eurasian commercial and geopolitical cooperation.

🟠 It continues to play a major security role with Russia having proven its efficiency in the field

🟠 SCO's influence is growing in Asia, presenting "a fast-building counterweight to NATO and US alliances in the Indo-Pacific," Parenti says.

🟠 Russia-China-India's trilateral partnership makes the SCO a key platform to solve Eurasian matters, while BRICS remain a viable format for global issues, according to Doctorow.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia and China: Complementary economies safeguarding a just global order

🗣Russia and China have shared interests spanning from economic development to supporting multipolarity, John Gong, professor of economics at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, tells Sputnik.

"The two major powers do have a common interest in maintaining stability and maintaining the global order," says Gong.

"Second, both countries' economies are very complementary to each other. The trade and investment area has essentially been a booming story."

🟠 The Sino-Russian strategic cooperation has taken on a new significance as Russia is currently re-orienting to the East

🟠 Russia is both increasing investments in its Far East and seeking more trade opportunities with Asian countries

🟠 China is stepping up investments in Russia and is willing to participate in new joint projects including infrastructure, exploration of resources, investing in commercial real estate and enhancing tourism

🟠 Russia-China bilateral trade has risen by nearly $100B since 2021, as Russian President Vladimir Putin noted in an interview with Xinhua

The West's reaction?

"I can probably invoke one phrase: 'sour grapes'," says Gong. "I think the European side is probably not very happy seeing this warming of relations between China and Russia, as well as the warming of relations of all participating SCO member states with Russia."
