Gordon Chang on China, Russia, and North Korea: Are Their Alliances as Strong as They Seem?

Gordon Chang, senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, explains why the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit is more about optics than substance. Chang argues that China is using the summit—and images of Xi Jinping, Putin, and Modi together—to craft a narrative of global dominance and U.S. decline, primarily aimed at boosting domestic Communist Party legitimacy. He notes the presence of India's Modi is significant but downplays actual cooperation, given ongoing border disputes and recent U.S. policy missteps that have alienated India.
