What China’s Global Initiatives Offer The World

The fires of war burn from Palestine to Ukraine and from Sudan to Iran, demoralising billions of people around the world who suffer from the inferno and inflation. There seems to be no exit from these conflicts, no way to envisage how they will end. The NATO powers delusionally seek the defeat of Russia, while the United States seeks to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. Neither of these outcomes is within the realm of possibility: Russia is a nuclear power capable of facing an existential threat, while Iran has demonstrated that it is capable of seriously harming US assets in the region.

How US Repaid India For Defending It At BRICS Summit

September 22, 2026 Betwa Sharma, Consortium News. Educate! BRICS, India, Oil, Tariffs, Trump Administration

Just days after India hosted the 18th BRICS Summit, Washington sent New Delhi a message. The U.S. Congress passed legislation that paves the way for tariffs of up to 100 percent on countries that continue to buy Russian oil and gas. The measure cleared both the Senate and the House of Representatives with significant bipartisan support. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on Friday. He is yet to take action on it. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, addressing India and China, said: “You better clean up your act. Buy your oil and gas somewhere else.”

BRICS Nations Call For End Of US Blockade On Cuba

The 18th BRICS summit concluded in New Delhi on Sunday, September 13, with the unanimous adoption of the New Delhi declaration condemning wars in West Asia and reiterating calls for a more democratic and multilateral world order. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the formation of the grouping with the core objective of democratizing global governance and promoting multilateralism and cooperation among the countries of the Global South. This years’ summit was held around the theme of “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.”

Pezeshkian Urges BRICS To Form Independent Payment Mechanisms

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has urged BRICS members to push back against unilateral sanctions and to establish a “permanent secretariat” in an address to the BRICS summit in New Delhi, Tasnim News Agency reported on 11 September. The bloc currently runs on a chairmanship that rotates between member states each year, with no standing institution behind it. A permanent secretariat would give BRICS a fixed headquarters and a full-time staff to carry its agenda forward year-round.

China Says Regional Integration Is The Path To Security In West Asia

Chinese President Xi Jinping underlined the need for stronger international coordination for common security in West Asia and a reaffirmation of the UN Charter and international law. Xi demanded external powers must respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries in the region and stop interfering in their internal affairs. China is ready to work with the countries in the region to “safeguard the security of international shipping lanes, advance development cooperation, promote the convergence of interests of regional countries, gradually enhance mutual trust, and eliminate root causes of the conflict,” Xi proposed.

China’s Oil Strategy And What The West Leaves Out

July 23, 2026 Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. Educate! BRICS, China, Electrification, Fossil Fuels, Strait of Hormuz

There has been an abundance of information around China’s oil strategy of recent, some of it sensible, most of it unremarkably a part of the western led China-bashing package, and as a whole, the glut of analysis has all been quite confusing. That confusion should not be surprising considering our political climate. China is responding to an international economic system experiencing the United State’s own existential instability. Washington has increasingly treated tariffs, sanctions, financial restrictions, and executive orders as instruments of economic statecraft.

BRICS Look At Iran With Different Eyes After ‘American Failure’

The BRICS (a broad geopolitical group including Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates) held a summit for foreign ministers in New Delhi on May 14-15 that was overshadowed by the relatively fruitless Trump meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Iran, which attended as an observer, was naturally a big subject of conversation. The Hormuz blockade is affecting different BRICS countries differently. India, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia and Indonesia are suffering with high energy and gasoline prices.

The Fortaleza Declaration (2014)

April 27, 2026 Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. Educate! BRICS, Economic crisis, Fortaleza Declaration, Neoliberalism

I’m reposting the Fortaleza Declaration in full because the declaration is harder to find on Google Search now. To get a sense of how important this 2014 moment was: It was the BRICS economies that largely remained solvent after what should have been the death of neoliberalism in 2008, and signaled the downturn of the OECD economic hegemony—the neocolonial consensus of the World Bank, IMF, and WTO. Unfortunately, it signaled the beginning of destabilization, regime change, coups, and a militarized containment policy that sought to perpetuate the colonial manifest that gave us World Wars one and two.

The Fourth Reich Is Financial: War Is Absolution

March 3, 2026 Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. Strategize! BRICS, Fourth Reich, Iran, Wars and Militarism

Let us, for a moment, reflect deeply upon the martyrdom of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in an aerial strike by U.S. and Israeli forces. Following the ongoing Zionist dispossession and genocide of Palestinians, as well as the trafficking and sexual exploitation of children that has ensnared not just Trump and Netanyahu, but the wealthy elite across the sector of capitalism’s excess and abuse that has come to light following the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Billionaires and their sycophants, and its culture of elite political access and influence continue to operate not just with impunity but with absolution.

Jiangshi Trade: How The EU Co-Opts BRICS Without Joining It

February 8, 2026 Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. Educate! BRICS, Development, European Union (EU), Global Economy

In the multipolar daylight, Europe is neither vampire nor zombie. The better image is the jiangshi. In Chinese folklore, the jiangshi is an old corpse that cannot generate life from within and survives by consuming the qi, the life-force of the living. That is an appropriate depiction of a fictional EU-BRICS arrangement. The issue is not whether the EU will join BRICS, it will not and to be clear it has not stated that. The issue is whether the EU can enter BRICS-adjacent growth zones and redirect that life force through European legal and regulatory systems.

Strategic Convergences Between Africa, Asia And Latin America

The current shift in the world order reveals a deep tension. While the West, weakened by its internal crises and geopolitical contradictions, is trying to preserve its declining leadership, Africa, Asia and Latin America are quietly rebuilding the lines of force of the Global South. Driven by shared memories of domination and renewed aspirations for sovereignty, these regions are now forging strategic convergences that are giving new meaning to tricontinental solidarity. In this context, their struggles against neocolonialism and neo-imperialism are taking on decisive importance in redefining the balance of power in the 21st century and opening up new prospects for their common future.

Trump Wages Economic War On US Allies; BRICS Builds Alternative System

The US government has always had a very aggressive foreign policy. The United States has intervened in dozens of countries all around the world. But what is unique about Donald Trump is that many of his aggressive policies not only target US adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, but also longtime US allies. Trump has imposed high tariffs that have hurt the economies of key US allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe. In fact, the details of the agreement that Trump imposed on Japan are quite shocking. This was reported on by the Financial Times, which wrote that “Japan confronts the increased price of US friendship”. Although I would say it’s not so much “friendship”; rather it’s vassalage. Japan has been militarily occupied by the US for 80 years, and we’re now seeing the cost of this imperial relationship.

Elephant And Dragon Choose Dialogue

At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin on September 1, 2025, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met and publicly framed the relationship as “partners, not rivals.” Their readouts stressed dialogue on differences and cooperation on development – language that marks the clearest thaw since the 2020 Ladakh crisis. Two moves gave the reset substance, not just optics. First, India and China re-activated the Special Representatives (SR) dialogue on the boundary question in New Delhi on August 19, 2025, and second, they agreed to restart direct flights and expand people-to-people and business links, after a five-year freeze. These are communications channels that reduce miscalculation and restore some weight to a battered relationship.

Eurasia’s Re-Alignment In The Face Of Late Stage Barbarism

September 8, 2025 Michael Hudson, Counter Punch. Educate! BRICS, China, Global Economy, India, Multipolar World, Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s meetings in China last week (September 2 and 3) took a remarkable step forward in defining how the world will be dividing into two great blocks as Global Majority countries seek to free their economies not only from Donald Trump’s tariff chaos, but from the U.S.-sponsored increasingly Hot War attempts to impose unipolar control on the entire world’s economy by isolating countries seeking to resist this control with trade and monetary chaos as well as direct military confrontation. The SCO meetings became a pragmatic forum to define the basic principles that are to replace other countries’ trade, monetary and military independence from U.S. with mutual trade and investment among themselves, increasingly isolated from reliance on U.S. markets for their exports, U.S. credit for their domestic economies, and U.S. dollars for trade and investment transactions among themselves.

When The Empire Chokes, The South Breathes

The story they sell is that “order” was built by reasoned men in sensible suits. The story we live is different. Multipolarity did not grow out of seminars or summits; it is the aftershock of five centuries of plunder, the recoil from wars and sanctions, and the refusal of the colonized to keep paying for someone else’s civilization. Its genealogy runs from the Bandung Communiqué (1955)—the first great gathering where the majority of humanity spoke in its own name—through the long detour of debt, structural adjustment, and counter-insurgency masquerading as “development.” Bandung’s promise was simple and subversive: sovereignty, peaceful coexistence, cooperation, and a say in the world economy for those who actually make the world economy run.
