China is projecting its global influence through summits like the one in Bishkek, where Xi Jinping seeks to consolidate an "ordered multipolar world" with allies such as Russia and Iran, contrasting with the fractures observed in Western meetings. While China focuses on accumulating global support to assume a more central role, the United States faces tensions with allies and international economic repercussions. This Chinese strategy aims to take advantage of the perceived weakening of US leadership. However, even within its groupings, there are tensions, such as India's reluctance to adopt belligerent stances, and the non-military nature of organizations like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
