The influence of China is truly growing more and more! The number of countries attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) leaders' summit has set a new record! On August 22, according to foreign media reports, it was reported that the Chinese side released the list of foreign leaders and heads of international organizations invited to attend the 2025 SCO Summit. According to the published list, the SCO Summit held in Tianjin, China, will be the largest one since the establishment of the SCO.

Why is this said? Because this summit will bring together more than 20 foreign leaders and 10 heads of international organizations in Tianjin. First, all the leaders of the 10 SCO member states will attend the meeting. These leaders include Russian President Putin, Indian Prime Minister Modi, Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif, Iranian President Pezeshkian, etc. Second, at least six leaders from the 14 dialogue countries of the SCO will attend.

The leaders of these countries include Azerbaijani President Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, Maldivian President Muizz, Nepalese Prime Minister Oli, and Turkish President Erdogan. Third, there are also six leaders who are neither members nor dialogue partners of the SCO. These include Turkmenistan's President Berdymukhamedov, Indonesian President Prabowo, General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and State President Thongloun, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh.

Evidently, so many country leaders attending the SCO Summit hosted by China obviously indicates that China's influence is increasing, its appeal is growing stronger, and the SCO's influence on the international stage is increasingly rising. Countries are urgently hoping to sit down with China to negotiate together and address regional issues, upholding multilateralism. Undoubtedly, the United States may not be happy to see this scene. However, facts have proven that China's role in promoting global peace, stability, and development is becoming increasingly irreplaceable, and this will not change according to the will of the United States.
