China’s Xi urges regional leaders to oppose ‘Cold War mentality’ at summit

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged regional leaders to oppose “Cold War mentality” at a gathering of a security bloc that Beijing has touted as an alternative to the Western-led international order.
In a speech to attendees of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit on Monday, Xi said the member states are facing increasingly complicated security and development challenges as the world becomes “chaotic and intertwined”.
“Looking back, despite tumultuous times, we have achieved success by practising the Shanghai spirit,” Xi said.
“Looking to the future, with the world undergoing turbulence and transformation, we must continue to follow the Shanghai spirit, keep our feet on the ground, forge ahead, and better perform the functions of the organisation.”
Calling for an “equal and orderly multipolarisation” of the world, Xi said the bloc should work towards the creation of a “more just and equitable global governance system”.
