Xi Jinping Calls on Russia, Iran, India to Unite Economies, Counter Trump’s Policies

BEIJING — Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged Russia, Iran, India, and other partner nations to strengthen economic integration and work together to build an “orderly multipolar world.” The call comes as Beijing seeks to rally support against U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies, which many countries view as disruptive to global stability.

Speaking at a high-level forum, Xi stressed that closer cooperation among these nations would not only strengthen their economies but also reshape international power dynamics. “The world is entering a period of profound changes,” Xi said, highlighting the need to reduce reliance on the United States and establish a fairer global system.

Xi’s remarks signal China’s increasing alignment with Russia and Iran, both of which have faced pressure from U.S. sanctions. India, with its vast market and strategic position, is also seen as a crucial player in this emerging coalition. Together, these nations aim to promote alternative trade routes, expand energy partnerships, and enhance financial cooperation as a counterweight to Washington’s dominance.

Analysts say Xi’s push for a multipolar order reflects broader grievances over Trump’s unilateral approach to global affairs, from trade wars to sanctions and foreign policy disputes. By strengthening ties with other major powers, Beijing hopes to accelerate the creation of new institutions and alliances that could challenge the U.S.-led system.
