Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute, discusses Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surprise visit to China for the 25th SCO Summit, where he met with leaders from China, Russia, Iran, and Central Asia. Prashad explains how Modi’s trip marks a turning point in global politics, exposing the failure of Washington’s divide-and-conquer strategy. “India is realizing that being the poodle of the United States doesn’t get you anything,” says Prashad. “The message has come loud and clear: the U.S. is not a reliable ally. It prioritizes war, not development.”
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
