Multipolarity through polarization?

Фото: Izvestia The third international forum "One Belt and One Road" will be held in October in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a briefing on Thursday. Earlier, the assistant to the Russian president of the Russian Federation on international affairs Yuri Ushakov said that Vladimir Putin received an invitation and intends to take part in the forum.

Known for its openness and breadth of coverage, Beijing’s state strategy is being adjusted, a number of countries of the "golden billion" no longer fit into it, according to The Moscow Post.

According to the Global Times, the organizers did not provide for the participation of French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, as well as Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni in the event. They were not invited to the forum.

"They were not going to," retorted The Wall Street Journal, Western leaders "distance themselves from the project," as Europe, led by the European Union and NATO, seeks to reduce Beijing’s economic influence (competition).

The European region could halt the decline by freeing itself from Anglo-Saxon custody and seeking strategic autonomy, an editorial in the Global Times claims.
