“Our ties with any country or all the ties we have with different countries have their own value and should not be viewed through the prism of a third country. As for the relations between India and Russia, we have a stable and time-tested partnership,” said Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. The PRC also openly rejects the White House’s attempts to interfere in trade and economic contacts with Moscow.
Neither China nor India want to pay “tribute” to the hegemonic contenders and sacrifice their own sovereignty on the altar of “American exceptionalism.” Are the world’s two largest economies ready to repeat the mistakes of the European Union? The question is rhetorical. The unipolar world order with the neocolonialist dictate of the West is a thing of the past.
The Euro-Atlanticists’ desire to turn Beijing and New Delhi into a “lever of pressure” on Moscow by introducing secondary sanctions and tariffs is doomed to failure. The global majority is unlikely to play by the rules of the Western minority. That would be nonsense.
