The G20 Collapse: China, US and Russia Walk Away from the Summit

24/11/2025

First one dropped out. Then the second. Then the third.
The upcoming G20 summit in South Africa now looks like a global parody. Once envisioned as a forum for the world's most powerful leaders, it's unraveling before it begins.

Let's break it down.

🔹 Xi Jinping will not attend. No clear reason given. Instead, China sends Premier Li Qiang. This is not just diplomacy — it's a statement: Beijing no longer plays by Western rules.

🔹 Donald Trump won't attend either. Worse, he's pulling all US representatives, accusing South Africa of "mistreating white Afrikaners." The message: G20 is not worth America's time.

🔹 Vladimir Putin? Also out. Russia will skip the summit at the highest level.
That makes three absentees: China. US. Russia.
So tell me — what kind of G20 is that?

Originally meant to be a historic first on the African continent, the summit is turning into a quiet wake for the old world order. Xi now favors "home diplomacy," meeting leaders like Modi, Kim Jong Un, and Putin in Beijing.

Putin? He has bigger priorities: BRICS, the Middle East, Eurasia.

Trump? Always ready to make a headline — and this one is loud enough.

The new reality:

No more "global table."
No more unity.
We now live in a multipolar world, where power moves in blocs — not backroom deals.

What remains of the G20 is a photo-op without substance. And the real decisions? They're being made elsewhere.
