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.
