India’s forthcoming entry into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization may be of importance to Delhi but it cannot undo the critical fact that China is increasingly becoming the most consequential foreign actor in Central Asia and that Russia is slipping into dependence on China even to the point where its Ministry of Defense has formally sought an alliance with China against terrorism, “color revolutions”, and the US. China is winning the rivalry for influence in Central Asia, India is barely competitive there and Russia is steadily losing ground there, mainly due to its own failures to enhance its economic-political capacity, even before it invaded Ukraine. The consequences of that move have only accelerated the processes of its growing dependence on China.
