Abstract
In the aftermath of the Cold War, the ascendant influence of the United States in Central Asia was perceived as a threat by China, which prompted Beijing to seek collaboration with Russia. The objective of both countries was to establish a multipolar international system in opposition to the prevailing unipolar order led by the United States. In this context, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was established under China’s leadership, with the objective of strengthening regional cooperation for the purpose of promoting stability and security. This article will examine the evolution of relations between China and SCO, as well as the impact of this cooperation on the regional balance of power.
