BEIJING: President Xi Jinping's unexplained decision to snub the G20 summit underlines Beijing's frayed ties with other major powers as well as growing secrecy at the top of the ruling Communi
The emphasis on ties with the developing world reflects Beijing's efforts to"create an alternative ... to the liberal international order dominated by the US since the end of World War II", said Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute at the University of London.
This year's apparent G20 no-show also dampens hopes of renewed engagement with Western powers following Xi's magnanimous - though carefully choreographed - centre-stage appearance at the last edition in November in Bali."Xi skipping the G20 came as a disappointment, but not really a surprise," said Yun Sun, China programme director at the Stimson Center, a Washington-based think tank.
Shi Yinhong, professor of international relations at Beijing's Renmin University of China, said India had also recently displayed"stronger opposition to China's claims over the South China Sea ... and escalated a ban or strict restrictions on China's tech exports and direct investments". However, the"increasingly clear" prospect of a November meeting at the APEC summit in San Francisco may have made Xi's G20 attendance"less imperative", Sun said.A spokesperson for China's foreign ministry deflected questions at a media briefing this week about Xi's absence.
China's Communist Party rarely discloses information about top leaders but its reflexive secrecy has made repeated headlines in recent months.
