Security Experts Warn Of Growing Anti-Western Alliance As China Hosts Putin, Kim, And Modi

China’s recent hosting of Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has renewed fears of an “anti-Western alliance,” according to security experts. Wolfgang Ischinger, president of the Munich Security Conference Foundation Council, told CNBC that the images of these leaders together at a Beijing military parade were “worrisome” and reflected a shift toward authoritarian cooperation. Analysts warned that dismissing these ties due to the lack of a formal treaty ignores the substance of a functional partnership. Others argued the summit is unlikely to evolve into a traditional military alliance and doubted the bloc would progress beyond its current form.
