China, Russia and Iran will take the fight towards a more equal and just system to the next level.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

12 Jan <\/em>2024 – As we enter incandescent 2024, four major trends will define the progress of interconnected Eurasia.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Financial\/trade integration will be the norm. Russia and Iran already integrated their financial message transfer systems, bypassing SWIFT and trading in rials and rubles. Russia-China already settle their accounts in rubles and yuan, coupling immense Chinese industrial capacity with immense Russian resources.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> The economic integration of the post-Soviet space, tilting towards Eurasia, will predominantly flow not so much via the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) but interlinked with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> There will be no significant pro-Western inroads in the Heartland: the Central Asian \u201cstans\u201d will be progressively integrated into a single Eurasia economy organized via the SCO.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> The clash will become even more acute, pitting the Hegemon and its satellites (Europe and Japan\/South Korea\/Australia) against Eurasia integration, represented by the three top BRICS (Russia, China, Iran) plus the DPRK and the Arab world incorporated to BRICS 10.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the Russian front, the inimitable Sergey Karaganov\u00a0has laid down the law<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not deny our European roots; we should treat them with care. After all, Europe has given us a lot. But Russia must move forward. And forward does not mean to the West, but to the East and the South. That is where the future of humanity lies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And that leads us to the Dragon \u2013 in the Year of the Dragon. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
