Russia will be represented by its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, at the G20 summit to be held in New Delhi on September 9 and 10. While on September 4, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially confirmed President Xi Jinping’s refusal to attend the multilateral meeting.

“I’m disappointed, […] but I will be able to see it.” This is how US President Joe Biden expressed his discontent to reporters after learning that his Chinese counterpart will not attend the summit.

“It is logical that he is disappointed, because all this shows this willingness to be the most direct competition of the United States. This is evident. They [los gobernantes de EEUU] they continue with the idea of ​​manifest destiny, which was highlighted by Biden himself, who said that the US had to once again be the world leader. And that’s where they are”, explains the director of the magazines Nothing stands in the way y the ambushJosep Alsina

There has been no shortage of those who have tried to make up the situation, redirecting the focus elsewhere, in an attempt to show the non-existent frictions and gaps in the BRICS (commercial alliance made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa in the foreground, to the that adhere and other nations).

The Washington Post he writes that relations “between China and India remain cold over their border dispute,” which led to a clash three years ago that killed 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers.

The American newspaper qualifies that, “without mentioning the dispute or the reason for Xi’s decision not to attend, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, said that Chinese leaders ‘have always supported India as the headquarters of this year’s summit and are ready to work with all parties to make the G20 summit a success.'”

Meanwhile, the agency Bloomberg reported that the EU plans to intensify its cooperation with the countries of the Global South at the G20 summit, taking advantage of the absence of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

According to newspaper sources familiar with the matter, the organization’s representatives are seeking to hold high-level meetings with African leaders during the summit, thus showing that they are fully willing to review their relations with the countries of the region despite the heavy legacy of colonialism.

Regarding this whole situation, Alsina observes that “China wants to be a hegemonic power in the economic order, it wants to generate a globalization centered on China, as opposed to globalization centered on the US, but with an important difference: China does not intend to export a model of In other words, China does not want everyone to live like the Chinese, which is the case with the US, I think it is an important difference”.
