Xi Calls on SCO Members to Challenge Western Dominance
Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) should continue to resist “hegemonism and power politics” to help build a fairer international system, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday as he opened the group leaders’ meeting in Tianjin.
Delivering a keynote speech to leaders and representatives of member and partner nations, Xi invoked what he called the “Shanghai spirit” of “mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of shared development.”
Xi praised the progress made by the SCO since its founding in 2001 and outlined new priorities. He said members must “oppose the Cold War mentality, bloc confrontation, and bullying practices” – terms often used by Beijing to criticize US and Western policies.
“We should advocate an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and make the global governance system more just and equitable,” he added.
The Chinese leader also urged members to pursue win-win cooperation while respecting their national differences, strengthening exchanges between their peoples, and pushing for greater efficiency and evidence-based policymaking within the SCO. – RT
Our Take: I agree with everything that President Xi is saying here.
I'm sick and tired of watching our State Department and political class act like a bunch of hyenas in heat, as they constantly humiliate themselves in their vain attempts to castigate and alienate President Putin and the members of the Sovereign Alliance. These jackals are a disgrace to America, and frankly, a disgrace to mankind.
I recognize the cultural differences with China. They are an economic rival, and we can't be weak when we are dealing with them. But that doesn't mean that we have to thump our chest and threaten war every time Lindsey Graham's menstrual cycle is active.
Tammy Bruce acted a fool and humiliated herself last month in that ridiculous stunt against the Saudis, and I have yet to see anybody on any platform (aside from myself) call her out for her arrogant stupidity. President Trump was right to exile her to the island of misfit toys, and she is lucky that he had the grace to allow her to save face by positing it as a re-assignment. (She deserves to remain waiting to be confirmed as deputy ambassador to the UN – a role that is totally unnecessary – for the rest of President Trump's term.)
It is past time that we start calling people out for acting like jackasses while serving in official capacities as dignitaries of the United States. Nobody will respect us as long as we stand by idle and allow these clowns to act a fool in our good name. So whether it is "Vodka Diplomacy" with [Belarussian President] Lukashenko, or Q-posting with [Russian Economic Envoy to the US] Kirill Dmitriev, our hour is now.
It's time to stop playing pattycake with the Uniparty traitors and begin calling out their crimes against America and humanity. –
