The Sino-Russian baby comes of age
After eight years, the six-member Shanghai Cooperation Organization has evolved from being "little more than a discussion forum" into a powerful bloc, with China and Russia its main drivers. From economic clout to gatecrashing the United States' AfPak strategy, the group demands attention, so much so it is being talked of as an emerging military alliance. This is not the case, but the SCO's leaders are ensuring that security in Central Asia and beyond is in trusted hands. - M K Bhadrakumar

I don't necessarily agree with everything that is in this article, but it's funny you don't hear more about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the western press:
