Beijing Summit: The Birth of the Eastern Triangle and a Challenge to the West Strategic Analysis - Arabian Sea - Special The Scene Beijing is preparing for a massive military parade to commemorate the end of World War II. But what matters is not the military parade itself, but who is standing on the platform: Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un. Three leaders representing countries of different sizes and capabilities, but united by one common denominator: confronting the West and reshaping the international order. 1. Kim's Visit: An Armored Crossing Towards a Fateful Alliance Kim's journey by armored train was not just a means of transportation, but a loaded symbol: • Crossing the border into Beijing is a transition for North Korea from strict isolation to the heart of a new strategic axis. • His appearance alongside Xi and Putin is equivalent to an official declaration of the birth of an eastern triangle extending from the Sea of Japan to the Caspian Sea. • The message to Washington, Seoul, and Tokyo is clear: North Korea is no longer alone, but part of a front that possesses a shared nuclear and political umbrella. 2. Putin: Russian-Chinese Relations at an "Unprecedented Level" Putin's words were not protocol, but pivotal: • "Unprecedented" means that Moscow sees Beijing as an existential ally, not just a trading partner. • At a time when the West is confronting Russia with sanctions and Ukraine with war, Moscow is repositioning itself as part of the rising Asian axis. • Beijing, for its part, gains a military partner with vast experience and military technology, in exchange for providing it with economic corridors and open markets. 3. Strategic Implications This scene goes beyond the limits of bilateral relations: • A parallel world order: What is being built in Beijing is an explicit declaration of a desire to dismantle American-Atlantic hegemony. • A new balance of terror: The presence of a tripartite nuclear power (China-Russia-North Korea) under one roof puts the world in front of a new arms race. • Regional repercussions: • In Asia: Taiwan and South Korea are entering a phase of long-term strategic anxiety. • In the Middle East: Countries may find themselves supported by a broader umbrella. • In Africa: Russian-Chinese influence is strengthened, based on an eastern military-political cover. 4. A New "Yalta" Moment If Yalta 1945 drew the boundaries of influence between East and West after World War II, what is happening in Beijing today is a new Yalta without a direct war. • The West has not been defeated militarily, but it is facing strategic fatigue. • The East has not yet won, but it is presenting itself as an alternative capable of shaping the balance of power. 5. Event Outcomes • In the short term: A massive mobilization parade that raises the morale of the Beijing-Moscow-Pyongyang axis. • In the medium term: Strengthening military alliances and opening channels of support between the three parties. • In the long term: The possibility of the emergence of a formal alliance to counter "NATO," so that the world faces a new duality: • The Atlantic bloc led by Washington. • The Eastern bloc led by Beijing-Moscow, with rising parties such as Pyongyang and Tehran, and perhaps others. Conclusion The Beijing summit was not just a military or protocol event. It is a temporal declaration of the world entering the era of the Eastern Triangle. The message is beyond missiles and parades: We are facing a re-engineering of the international order, where the West is retreating from its position as the sole reference, and a new axis is born from the womb of history, geography, and shared blood. It is a moment that requires every strategic observer to read with a conscious eye: Beijing is no longer just the capital of China, but has become the platform for the birth of a world order that is taking shape before our eyes.
