Belarus joined the SCO
A few days ago, the SCO summit brought shocking news that Belarus officially joined the SCO.
Belarus's relations with Russia have always been hailed as "brotherly love". On the surface, Belarus joined the SCO to strengthen cooperation with other countries, but in fact it was deeply influenced by Putin.
Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this seems to be a war between Russia and Ukraine, but behind it is the intervention of United States and other Western countries.
Ukraine has long been looking for trouble with Russia with the support of Western countries. This kind of finding fault is not only pinched in the mouth, but also put into practical action.
Ukraine has even sent drones to intrude into Belarus's airspace several times, which is a serious violation of Belarus's sovereignty.
This series of provocations is like adding fuel to the fire, making the already tense relations between Russia and Ukraine worse.
This is not just a matter for Russia and Ukraine, but also for other countries. From the initial intervention of the United States in United States to the collective sanctions of Western countries, the conflict has become more and more complicated.
United States, as a world power, intervening in the Russia-Ukraine conflict puts a lot of pressure on Russia.
Later, Western countries also followed, imposing economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation on Russia, which affected Russia's international status and domestic economy.
Faced with this situation, Russia is under great pressure. But it is under this pressure that Russia's determination to find a breakthrough is even stronger.
Belarus's accession to the SCO at this time has given Russia a new breakthrough.
The SCO is a regional organization of political, economic and security cooperation, and the support of its member states will give Russia more diplomatic space and strategic options in international affairs.
After joining the SCO, Belarus is expected to cooperate with China in anti-terrorist military exercises in the near future.
This move has caused concern among United States, who fear that the situation will become more complicated as more and more countries are involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Belarus joins the SCO.
This change means that Russia's allies in the international arena are growing.
Belarus, United States, and China have all been involved in this struggle, either actively or passively.
And the reason why more and more countries are involved is also because of the word "checks and balances", just like the United States pulled India to balance the increasingly powerful China.
The Ukraine was chosen by the United States to weaken the Russia, and Russia took the initiative to promote the "good brothers" to join the SCO Belarus in order not to fall into passivity.
The so-called international game is to constantly pull in external forces to achieve balance.
In fact, China has always maintained relative neutrality, but this does not mean that China will not take any action, after all, it has United States been playing games and confrontations with China.
If China does not look for opportunities to cooperate and exchange with other countries, it is likely to be gradually suppressed by United States.
Therefore, the joint anti-terrorism military exercise between China and Belarus is essentially an act of exchange, representing that China and Belarus have good exchange relations.
On the fifth day after the SCO summit, the Chinese delegation quickly rushed to Vladivostok, Russia. This move also marks a further deepening of Sino-Russian relations.
China and Russia have always maintained close cooperation, whether in the economic, energy or military fields.
Therefore, in essence, it can be seen that there are harmonious exchanges between the two countries, although China has always stated that it is neutral, but international relations will inevitably appear, and the phenomenon of being closer to this country, farther away from that country, better relations with this country, and not so good relations with that country.
Break the shackles of the United States and the West
Against the backdrop of United States economic sanctions against the Russia, Russia did not choose to isolate itself, but actively sought partners from the outside.
China and Russia share common interests in many areas. The cooperation between the two sides can not only help Russia ease the pressure of sanctions, but also provide certain benefits to China.
The city of Vladivostok, as an important city in the Far East of Russia, is rich in resources. The development of the Far East is not only a requirement for Russia's economic development, but also an important direction of Sino-Russian cooperation.
Sino-Russian cooperation in the Far East will greatly promote the economic development of the region and achieve a "strong alliance".
Putin has publicly stated: "The development of the Far East is a priority for Russia in the 21st century." ”
Russia's development of the Far East will not only allow it to diversify its economy, but also to have a greater influence in the Asia-Pacific region.
In order to get rid of the restrictions of the United States and the West, Putin is working hard to build a "Eurasian security system". The goal of this system is to work with Asian countries to create a security and economic network that does not rely on the West.
As an important part of the existing international system, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) continues to grow, admits new members, increases its influence, and provides strong support for the improvement of the global governance system and the implementation of multilateral cooperation mechanisms.
This organization has more and more members, and its cooperation has become more and more in-depth and extensive, and it has made no small contribution to regional and global peace and prosperity.
In Russia President Vladimir Putin's global strategy, developing the Far East and in-depth cooperation with countries such as the mainland are seen as key strategies.
The Far East is rich in natural resources and strategically located, which is an important pillar of the diversification and sustainable development of the Russia economy.
By working closely with Asian countries, including the mainland, Russia can not only stimulate economic recovery and growth, but also strive for a better position on international issues and have more say in the matter.
This win-win strategy is beneficial to Russia and sends a positive signal to Asia and the world.
Belarus's accession to the SCO, the visit of the mainland delegation to Vladivostok, and President Putin's strategic plan are all key links in the current international political struggle and cooperation.
At a time when the global political and economic structure is deeply adjusted, these events reveal the convergence and conflict of interests of various countries, as well as the changes in the international balance of power.
It is even clearer that with the deepening of globalization and the evolution of international relations, the interaction and strategic choices among countries are undergoing an unprecedented adjustment.
In this process, the SCO is an important platform for countries to pursue national interests and promote regional stability and global peace.
