This is a very interesting seed of information about a Moscow/Beijing tract forming.
In the first meeting of its kind, parliamentary leaders from the six countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) met Tuesday in Moscow to discuss ways to harmonize their laws and begin building a legislative dimension for the grouping.
Led by China and Russia, the SCO, founded five years ago, also includes Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Other key countries in the region -- India,
Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan -- currently have observer status and have also expressed interest in becoming full members.
This could be a very serious counterweight against US influence in the area. It is a way to check Washington's Power now that we have troops in 2 different nations in that general area. The Chinese and the Russians have a long history of supporting one another from Cold War days.
This makes sense when you think about how they oppose all attempts to strike Iran militarily. They might even be thinking about letting Iran get the bomb. Iran might be their potential partner in this organization to curb American power. A nuclear Iran changes the entire Middle Eastern power structure and China and Russia are ahead of the equation. They are allying with a country that is a direct threat to Israel/USA but not a direct threat to them. Very canny thinking by the Russians and Chinese.
