8th September, 2023. Today’s tweets, youtube, links, quotation. Ukraine in the midst of the G20 meeting held in India. President Xi Jinping, as leader in China, has decided not to attend. “Global South” versus “Global North” called out by Narendra Modi, President, India. Is Balance of Power shifting in favour of India? China in crisis? Note: India is a democracy which China is not. What relevance attaches to this.

G20

An increasingly multipolar world requires an entirely different kind of U.S. foreign policy: far from being unilateralist, it necessitates a complex form of power-sharing on both a global and regional basis.

Xi Jinping is now sending his Premier Li to New Delhi – this will most likely be seen as an affront by host Modi. Yet Xi and Modi certainly pursue common interests – against Western dominance. On the other hand, they are arch-rivals with leadership aspirations for the global South. In addition, China’s economy is weakening, while India is catching up enormously. So we ask: “India booms, China cools: What does it mean for the rest of the world?” Our guests: Vendeline von Bredow (The Economist ) Felix Lee (China.Table) Isha Bhatia (DW)

We must establish a special international tribunal for the crime of aggression under the auspices of the UN General Assembly. The crime of aggression is a leadership crime. There can be no impunity, no immunity. #SpecialTribunalNow
