While we keep focusing on BRICS and its successes we are forgetting another alliance that is forming under Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) which had a summit this week and it completely changed its face and is starting to become more active in establishing the World Order in the world that chaos used to rule for the past couple of decades...

This picture says it all. They say this is more than 60% of the world right here:

The SCO actually precedes the BRICS which was established in 2009 while the SCO was  2001.

pooya87, according to my research this SCO as a geopolitical organisation is a successor of what was known as the Shanghai-five, that was established since 1996 starting with a five member country which now later translate  to SCO with an intricate political and economic corporation now, currently made of a 10 member states.
