China's SCO summit represents a concerning attempt to undermine the established international order; yet the U.S. can and should respond. With recent erratic U.S. policy driving regional players into the arms of China, America can stem the tide by presenting itself as a stable and reliable partner, by finding common interests with middle powers in Asia and beyond.
There is a 69% chance that Xi Jinping will continue leading China in 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
