China Daily today (August 16) published an article stating: "Trump's attempt to isolate China has instead brought China, Russia, and India closer together. According to reports, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is scheduled to visit India next week; Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar will visit Russia next week; and Russian President Putin spoke with Chinese and Indian leaders last week, discussing his recent engagement with the United States on the Ukraine war."

Comments: Trump's attempt to isolate China has ironically become a "catalyst" for deeper cooperation among China, Russia, and India. This strongly mocks the logic of unilateral hegemony. A series of interactions, including Wang Yi's visit to India, Jaishankar's visit to Russia, and Putin's communication with Chinese and Indian leaders, reflect the strategic autonomy of the three countries based on their own interests—China's commitment to expanding partnerships, India's maintenance of traditional cooperation and strategic space, and Russia's expansion of diplomatic flexibility. It also reflects the trend of emerging market countries and developing major powers consolidating consensus amid global shifts. The rapprochement among the three countries is not aimed at any third party but is an inevitable choice made to safeguard their development rights and counterbalance hegemonic pressures in the context of globalization and multipolarity. This also confirms that the current world is no longer a "unipolar stage" where one country can dominate arbitrarily, and win-win cooperation and multi-polar governance are irreversible trends of the times.
