China, Russia, North Korea and Iran’s ‘Axis of Upheaval’ Reshapes Geopolitics

China’s largest-ever military parade on Wednesday, led by President Xi Jinping, was meant to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. However, analysts view it as the beginning of a new world order. Flanked by the leaders of sanctioned nations like Russia, North Korea, and Iran, the display of unity sends a strong message to the international community. Amid tensions with the West, this ‘axis of upheaval’ signals a shift in global power dynamics. The collective defiance against sanctions and Western influence could lead to a reshaping of geopolitics. The parade showcased China’s military prowess and its growing alliances with other sanctioned states, creating a new narrative in international relations.
