Russia and China have begun the second stage of the creation of a multipolar world –

/ world today news/ The visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Russia marks the second stage of the formation of a multipolar world. At the same time, the US understands that the era of its hegemony is passing, but will oppose it in every way. Political scientists came to this conclusion during a discussion about the role of Russia in the future multipolar world.

The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping showed once again that the West has failed to achieve its goals of isolating Russia. This was stated by Gleb Kuznetsov, head of the expert council of the Expert Institute for Social Research during a round table on the topic: “Russia in the multipolar world: common values ​​and mutual trust.”

According to him, it is impossible for all countries to be forced to comply with the rules imposed by the West. Also, these rules are not written anywhere and any party can be declared a violator. Therefore, Beijing also opposes the so-called rules-based order.

At the same time, creating the contours of a new world order is a common goal for Russia and China, which meets the interests of many other participants, said Alexander Asafov, moderator of the discussion, a political observer of the Talk Moscow radio station. According to him, most countries in the world are interested in building a world “based on justice and mutual cooperation”.

“We are seeing the end of the hegemony of the West and the destruction of their imposed structures of world order. Last but not least, this is facilitated by the fact that many countries see the Russian president as a reliable partner,” he added. The analyst also recalled that Putin and Xi signed two important joint statements: on deepening the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between Russia and China, entering a new era, and on a plan for the development of key areas of Russian-Chinese economic cooperation until 2030. “The world was shocked by the meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping.

The visit of the Chinese leader to Moscow in the conditions of the SVO and international tension is significant. It played the same role as Mao Zedong’s visit to the USSR in 1949. Then the important agreement of peace and friendship between the USSR and China was signed,” recalls Andrey Ostrovsky, a professor at the Department of New and Recent History of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State Pedagogical University.

At the same time, the rapprochement between Russia and China in itself opened the second stage of the creation of a multipolar world. “We are now waiting for other countries to join us. We see the transformation of BRICS – new letters will definitely be added,” says Marat Bashirov, political scientist and professor at the Higher School of Economics. “Furthermore, Xi’s visit and the move toward a multipolar world should be a slap in the face to Americans. The Anglo-Saxons actually lost the current economic war and are losing the ideological one,” said Bashirov.

He recalled that Xi himself, in his author’s article for Rossiyskaya Gazeta, stated: China and Russia firmly uphold the world order based on international law, the basic norms and principles of international relations based on the principles of the UN Charter, and truly implement multipolarity.

At the same time, the version of the world order imposed by the West is not accepted not only by Asia, but also by Latin America, added Gleb Kuznetsov. “For the global South, not only its own sovereignty is important, but also integration into a single space. It needs open trade borders. At the same time, Latin America does not want to join military blocs, choose sides in conflicts or engage in sanctions pressure,” he said.

At the same time, the countries of Africa are also outraged by Russia’s isolation. “They take it as an attack on themselves because the restrictions hinder the development of African countries. That is why Western policy causes rejection in Africa,” explained Andrey Maslov, director of the Center for African Studies at the Graduate School of Economics.

“Stability, peace, justice, strengthening of statehood – we are the same in these values. In the next 10 years, it can be said that Africa will be the center of economic growth. It is still a continent with a very fast population growth rate and is a key supplier of important minerals. Africa will attract attention with the dynamics of its development, this will be its advantage,” he added.

Meanwhile, according to experts, the West has already realized the inevitability of the emergence of a multipolar world, but will prevent its creation in any way. According to Moscow State University associate professor Boris Mezhuev, the United States is losing its international leadership, America cannot bring most of the world into submission.

“What is happening now is an alternative version of the events that could have happened in the 1970s if Russia and China had not quarreled. Then the US was able to maneuver and befriend China. Now a world is emerging in which much will depend on China, the countries of Latin America, the Middle East. Russia plays the role of defender in the creation of this world,” concluded Mezhuev.
