By Homayoun Barkhor | English Desk Editor & Foreign Policy Analyst, Borna News Agency: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin in early September 2025 marked more than just a regional gathering of Eurasian leaders. It symbolized the accelerating erosion of U.S. hegemony and the solidification of an alternative global order led by powers such as China, Russia, and an expanding coalition of non-Western states. For Washington, the proceedings were a sobering reminder that despite its military dominance and decades of influence, its grip on shaping global norms is weakening at a pace not seen since the end of World War II.
