Shanghai Cooperation Organization



Just by complete accident I run into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s building in Beijing today. When I was trying to take this picture some guard was screaming on me.

Anyway, this Organization is quite interesting and worrying at the same time.

It was founded in 2001; and now has 6 members (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). It is believed that the organization might be an attempt to create a counterbalance to the Western military structures.
