This seems to confirm it. Allegedly a direct quote from EEU's integration minister

"Eurasian Economic Union and China will jointly develop the project on a new “independent financial and monetary system” to address common challenges and boost Sino-Eurasian cooperation, says Sergey Glazyev (EEU’s Integration Minister)"

This should be expanded thru out Asia

why did they say this is a follow up meeting to the Xi-Biden virtual meeting Nov 15, 2022? This is only March 2022.
It means that today's meeting was built.upon the Nov Biden-Xi virtual meeting.

So, the top leaders agreed on something in November, and today the officials continue from the November agreement/discussion
Edit: it is a typo. They most likely wanted to say "Nov 2021"

"Nov 15, 2022?"

My impression is that it is a cognitive tendency towards 'mental skating', the result of the last phases of an already decadent empire:

"Police said Friday that six West Point cadets on spring break in Fort Lauderdale were hospitalized after overdosing on a powder substance laced with the drug fentanyl. However, Lt. Col. Beth Smith, West Point director of public affairs and communications, told CNN on Saturday morning that only five of the six individuals involved in the overdose incident are cadets."

The Americans didn't manage to push anyone in the same direction but the world is currently multipolar and you have a confusing and conflicting interests.

India is still being used as vessal and up for rent

India probably has one foot out of the QUAD.

The way things are going, it will be two feet, if the Americans keep pushing.

In the long run, China would like to have stable relations with India. If India leaves the QUAD, that is a step in the same direction.

Also, China and India, both took a step in the same direction with respects to Russia!

Maybe I need to clarify a little bit. What I meant was that China definitely would not conspire with US to decide the fate of third-parties. The actual results or effects of those talks, with or without any concrete agreements, will shape the new world order. We don't know yet. But 50 years from now, history would tell us that it was USvsChina that actually defined the fork at the moment. It really doesn't matter China wants it or not. As someone once said, that someone does not believe in anything is in itself a form of belief or religion. Whatever China chooses to do or not to do now will, one way or another, be counted as a significant factor that is shaping the world now.

Okay, sure, I would agree with what you are saying.

My view is that, we can just focus on one word, and that single word would be trajectory.

China's trajectory is kind of known, and its trajectory would remain unchanged.

This European war is kind of like an isolated event.

China is not a combatant, so its trajectory should not change, and its relationships outside of Europe should not change one bit. The BRI was a bet on the global south, where everyone will want to collect on the win-win.

Sure, we can say that this is another important point in world history, this war, and this Rome meeting, but it was going that way anyways.

This war, like the pandemic, probably will be thought of accelerators of current day trends, rise of China, rise of global south who finally gets a bigger voice, decline of traditional imperialistic powers.

Converging and overlapping interests doesn't mean same direction.. US can't sell weapons to them hence that is why it don't want to upset Russia but in reality they don't want to exit QUAD and also asked to join AUKUS but was locked out but that doesn't necessarily mean anything example Pakistan took the same approach and their relations with India will not change.

Hence overlapping interests for various different reasons don't mean much
