The West

I don't really know who "The West" is in this framework. Or what "aligned" means. I don't think whoever wrote it does either.
It was a scene in eastern China almost certainly intended for an audience on the other side of the world: The leaders of China, Russia and India, the three largest powers not aligned with the West, smiling and laughing like good friends as they greeted each other at a summit on Monday.
