South China Morning Post: Putin and Xi Jinping will demonstrate defiance of the West at the G20
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping could demonstrate a joint defiance of the West if they were to attend the G20 summit in Indonesia. The newspaper reports South China Morning Post with reference to analysts.
Tensions between the two countries and the West could overshadow the G20 meeting, the newspaper notes. This will have consequences for other states, regardless of their position on the conflict in Ukraine or tensions between the US and China.
Thus, Mada Nur Rahmat Yuliantoro, an expert in international relations from the Indonesian Gadja University, expressed the opinion that the personal presence of Putin and Xi Jinping at the summit can be seen as “a form of their resistance to Western dominance in the system of international politics.” “Xi Jinping will take advantage of this event to state directly Beijing’s position on various political, economic and security issues in the modern world,” he said.
