Power issues: the new anti-American allies

Traveling on Friday April 14 in Beijing (China), Brazilian President Lula displays its closeness to its Chinese host, President Xi Jinping, to the point of espousing his anti-American rhetoric at times, particularly when it comes to the war in Ukraine. Power issues, on the springs of an increasingly broad anti-American front. At the base of this revolt, the relationship between Russia and China, united in their hatred of the United States, an axis to which we can add Iran.

A common currency under study

Countries that have come together considerably since the war in Ukraine, for the promotion of a new world. China, the dominant power in this trio, has clearly taken advantage of the war in Ukraine to accelerate its competition with its American rival. Example of this Chinese diplomatic activism: it was under the sponsorship of Beijing that on March 10, Saudi Arabia announced a rapprochement with Iran, its sworn enemy. An unexpected agreement, a snub to the United States. And behind the recent meeting between Lula and Xi Jinping, there is the Chinese desire to seduce the member countries of BRICS, which, in addition to China and Russia, includes Brazil, South Africa and India, so-called emerging, non-Western powers. A common currency between these countries is also under study. A vague and very uncertain project.
