🇮🇳🇨🇳 Modi in China: A Bold Message to Washington.

At a major summit in Tianjin, Indian PM 🇮🇳 Narendra Modi stood shoulder-to-shoulder with 🇨🇳 Xi and 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin — a powerful signal just as 🇺🇸 President Trump hit India with steep 50% tariffs over Russian oil imports.

🛢️ Why the tension?

India continues buying discounted Russian oil, despite Western pressure. Trump’s White House expected India to fall in line — instead, Modi flew east.

🤝 The SCO Summit

Though often dismissed as symbolic, this gathering of 20+ nations gave China the spotlight. Modi’s handshake with Xi sent a clear message: India is not bound to Western expectations.

💡 India’s stance is firm:

No compromise on farming rules 🧑‍🌾

No dictation on energy purchases ⛽

No credit to the US for peace with Pakistan 🤐

🇮🇳 India showed it won't be pushed. By appearing alongside China and Russia, Modi reminded the world: India makes its own choices.

🏛️ What does China gain?

Hosting the summit let Beijing appear as a global convener. Xi's top aide met Modi personally — a rare diplomatic gesture. For China, it’s a chance to frame a world order without US leadership.

🌐 The ripple effect:

Russia appears less isolated 🤝

Iran gets backing after recent strikes

Turkey keeps its balancing act with NATO

The US faces growing resistance in global diplomacy

🚫 Meanwhile, tensions flared in the South China Sea, reminding all that Beijing’s red lines remain unchanged.

📌 In seeking submission, the US may have pushed India closer to its biggest rival. And while the SCO may not be a military force, it’s proving to be a powerful stage for shifting alliances.
