In particular, Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes that the SMOC of the SCO will put the Russian Federation at a level with China in the eyes of the world, and in turn, it will justify the war in Ukraine and strengthen its position within the country.

China receives Russian oil at a low price because sanctions do not allow Putin to sell it to other countries, and Russia buys many Chinese goods in exchange. China's leader Xi Jinping states that Beijing, Moscow and New Delhi should consider themselves as "partners, not rivals", but India Prime Minister Narindra Modi knows that economic disputes between the two countries and border conflicts undermine all this.
In addition, there is a tension between China and Russia on North Korea because Putin is increasingly approaching Kim Cenn, although China considers this territory "its own". "So the friendship between these three countries that blossomed this week is not so perfect. There are cracks that the US competent administration could take advantage," the authors of the article said.
