- China is challenging the West militarily and geopolitically. What the media is writing
The SCO summit was held in China, and on September 3, a military parade will be held to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the surrender of Japan. At these events, China gathered key global players ready to stand up to the West. What the foreign media write about Beijing's desire to revise the international system of relations is in the Izvestia digest.
Le Monde: strategic friendship is emerging between China and Russia
The Russian and Chinese presidents met like two old friends at the SCO summit in Tianjin, a major port city in northeast China. They smiled and shook hands warmly. Putin even seemed to be joking when he talked with Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Relations (between Russia and China — Ed.) "are at an unprecedented level," Putin said. At the same time, Xi Jinping praised their "comprehensive strategic cooperation" and reaffirmed their commitment to work together to "build a more equitable and reasonable system of global governance." That is, one that leans less towards the West.
On Wednesday, Putin will be given a place of honor at the parade. Together with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un and 24 other foreign leaders, he will take part in a grand military parade organized by Xi Jinping.
The Guardian: China will demonstrate its military might at the parade
On September 3, representatives of Russia, Iran and North Korea will attend a parade marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II. All of them are united by their opposition to the West. At the same time, the event itself is designed to demonstrate China's military and geopolitical might.
The Guardian
Military, economic, and political cooperation between Russia, China, Iran, and the DPRK has been demonstrated in Ukraine and the Middle East. Western analysts describe it as an "axis of upheaval."
26 heads of state will take part in the parade. The only Western leaders on the guest list published by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the heads of Serbia and Slovakia.
Military self-sufficiency is very important for Beijing now. And that's exactly what he will demonstrate at the parade. Many analysts believe that China is learning lessons from the conflict in Ukraine in order to be prepared for potential confrontation with Taiwan.
CNN: Anti-Western leaders gather in Beijing
Xi Jinping hosted guests in one of China's busiest port cities, welcoming leaders from across Asia and the Middle East for an elaborate summit designed to showcase his vision for a new world order. At the same time, the country's advanced hypersonic weapons and nuclear missiles will be shown along with thousands of soldiers at a major military parade on Wednesday.
CNN
China is a political force that wants to redefine global rules. At the same time, he is not afraid to challenge the rules of the West. "..." The parade will be the first time that the leaders of the anti-American "axis of upheaval" will be together at the same event.
For Western leaders desperate to increase pressure on Putin and end the conflict in Ukraine, this is a serious test. Under President Donald Trump, the United States is reducing the influence of its alliances and causing economic damage to countries around the world, including allies. Xi Jinping sees the right moment to demonstrate his challenge to a world based on Western rules.
BBC News: Xi Jinping prepares for a "big moment" on the world stage
The main stage of the parade is set in the very heart of Beijing for a grandiose demonstration of the power and military might of the PRC. Xi Jinping will be the choreographer of what is happening. Eight huge Chinese flags are already flying and surround the portrait of Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China.
BBC News
Seats have been prepared under the portrait for 26 foreign heads of state, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Their presence at the parade is a diplomatic victory for Xi Jinping.
The parade will mark the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender and China's victory over the occupying forces. But this event is of much greater importance to Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader is in the spotlight. The SCO summit in China allowed him to show a vision of a new world order that he hopes will challenge the United States. Attention is now turning to the parade in Beijing, which will showcase his country's growing ability to compete with the United States in any conflict.
AP: China seeks to expand its influence
China plans to accelerate the establishment of a Development Bank and create an international platform for energy cooperation, Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced. This represents a new challenge to the global leadership of the United States from China, Russia and India.

Xi Jinping is trying to expand the SCO's spheres of influence. He announced plans to create an organization's Development Bank, and also presented cooperation options for the green and energy industries, and promised SCO members loans of $1.4 billion over the next three years.
Xi Jinping also said he would allow SCO member states to use the Chinese BeiDou satellite system, an alternative to the US-controlled GPS system. Putin expressed support for China's initiatives, saying that, in his opinion, the SCO can take a leading role in efforts to create a more just and equal system of global governance in the world.
