The anti-dollar pact is actually strengthening right now as Xi Jinping hosts over 20 world leaders at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, China. This historic gathering marks the largest attendance in SCO history, and it features Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with President Vladimir Putin, even including leaders from U.S. partners like Turkey and Egypt.

The Xi Jinping strategy is being used to capitalize on America’s weakened alliance system, which helps advance the anti-dollar pact. China has positioned itself as an alternative power center, and they’re demonstrating that Washington no longer controls global financial decisions.

David Pierson, who was reporting from the summit, noted that China has summoned the non-Western world to tell Washington:

“You are no longer calling the shots.”

The SCO bank initiative is emerging as Trump’s tariff policies push traditional allies toward Beijing. Modi’s participation actually signals India’s willingness to explore alternatives after some recent trade disputes with America.

The global trade shift is being accelerated through new banking mechanisms that are designed to bypass dollar-dominated systems. The India Russia China pact discussions focus on creating independent payment networks, and these reduce dependence on Western financial institutions.

Pierson explained the geopolitical implications:

“The Trump administration has upended the U.S. alliance system. It’s gifting this incredible opportunity to Xi Jinping to pull friends away from the U.S.”

China’s military parade following the summit projects strength while advancing the anti-dollar pact narrative. The event highlights China’s growing influence along with its challenge to existing global power structures.

The summit makes it clearer than ever how the Xi Jinping’s strategy uses historical grievances and the current tensions. The countries that are participating in the SCO bank initiative are seeking alternatives to Western-controlled financial networks. Can you blame them? This is of course, also driven by sanctions concerns and desires for greater autonomy.
