The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 has just concluded in Tianjin. CGTN's Wang Guan shares his observation on how it may shape the future of the world: From the newly proposed Global Governance Initiative to the SCO Development Bank, this summit signals an alternative paradigm in running world affairs. By rejecting hegemony, bloc politics and reflecting on the lessons of WWII, the SCO champions dialogue over confrontation, inclusion over exclusion, and shared prosperity over zero-sum rivalry.
