China's Xi unveils vision for new global order at security forum

23 Sept 03:21 Key points summarised by AI

Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled a vision for a new global security and economic order at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, directly challenging the U.S.-led international system.
Xi advocated for an "equal and orderly multipolarisation" and "inclusive economic globalisation," urging SCO members to leverage their "mega-scale market" and boost cooperation in critical sectors like energy, infrastructure, and AI.
China pledged 2 billion yuan ($280 million) in free aid and 10 billion yuan in loans to SCO members, while Xi called for opposing "Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation" and supporting multilateral trade, implicitly criticizing U.S. protectionism.
The summit, attended by leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin and India's Narendra Modi, demonstrated Global South solidarity and served as a platform for China to present an alternative global governance model and strengthen regional ties.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
