While the leaders of the SCO were enjoying the sights of China’s military parade, members of the global south gathered in the Southern province of Yunnan to join the above forum. Members of the media and think tank communities of the Global South participated in talks and discussions relating to reshaping the new world order and forging new pathways of developing their own respective countries.
One of the more noteworthy speeches was the one given by UN under-Secretary General. She highlighted how the social media today has turned into a money making machine through distribution of fake news, false facts, personal slanders and anti-social activities. Most people globally were now afraid of trusting any news at all, due to this impact and it made the works of UN and governments across the world extremely difficult to carry out the necessary reforms and actions.
The forum was held over three days from September 05 to 07.
