The War in Ukraine

Currently Playing: Putin and Xi: An Alliance of Marriage of Conveniance?

Here i discuss the multipolar world declared by Presidents Putin and Xi at their recent summit. Behind the facade of worm words and photo ops, hides the reality of data that shows that China's investment in Russia is negligeable, that joint aviation and highspeed rails stalled, and that both countries pursue in fact a muti-vector foreign policy. Both the G7 and BRICS are in disarray and multipolarity looks increasingly as fragmentation or the world order.
