New Delhi, August 8, 2025 –
Geopolitical observers are closely watching the evolving dynamics between *India, Russia, and China, as multiple indicators suggest that the three nations may be moving toward a *united front against US trade tariffs and global economic pressure.
Recent developments — including high-level visits and diplomatic statements — hint at growing cooperation between these major powers, potentially reshaping the balance of influence within global trade blocs.
Putin and Lula Expected in India; Modi to Visit China
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva are expected to visit India soon. Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit China for the first time in six years — a major move signaling thawing tensions and an attempt at strategic realignment.
These high-level diplomatic exchanges come at a time when the United States is facing criticism for its *tariff policies, which many say violate *World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
China Slams US Tariffs as WTO Violation
Adding to the speculation, the Chinese Ambassador to India recently made a rare public statement criticizing US tariff measures. He accused the United States of violating WTO regulations, and urged countries like India to recognize the long-term impact of such unilateral economic actions.
The timing of these remarks is seen as significant, especially with India strengthening economic ties with both Russia and China amid a changing global landscape.
Are We Witnessing the Rise of an Anti-US Trade Axis?
While there has been no official announcement, analysts believe the coordinated diplomacy could be the beginning of a joint economic strategy aimed at countering *US-dominated global trade policies. Given the shifting power dynamics in organizations like *BRICS and SCO, a potential strategic grouping of India, China, and Russia on trade issues appears increasingly likely.
Such a development could have a lasting impact on global supply chains, digital trade regulations, and multilateral institutions.
