BRICS cooperation: China and Brazil support Malaysia in the dollar conflict!
On November 3, 2025, the geopolitical landscape was once again in flux due to China and Brazil's efforts to expand the BRICS economic alliance. China has reiterated its support for Malaysia to join BRICS, marking another step towards strengthening global economic alliances. This initiative is supported by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who also supports Malaysia's full membership.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Guo Jiakun, said BRICS is ready to welcome Malaysia and other partner countries from the Global South. This statement reflects the desire to establish BRICS as a platform for emerging markets and to advance the multipolar world order and the democratization of international relations.
US criticism and reaction to BRICS
However, efforts to expand the BRICS alliance are encountering resistance from the USA. President Donald Trump has described the initiative as an attack on the US dollar and warned India of additional tariffs for its participation in BRICS and cooperation with Russia. These tensions highlight growing U.S. concerns about the global resonance of BRICS and its potential to undermine the dollar's dominance in international transactions.
BRICS was founded in 2009 and now includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia. In addition, partner countries such as Belarus, Bolivia, Malaysia and others also have the opportunity to take part in summit meetings without being full members. This expansion could not only increase the alliance's economic power, but also significantly influence geopolitical dynamics.
Priorities of the BRICS countries
The overall goal of BRICS countries is to promote local currency transactions and alternative payment platforms to reduce dependence on the US dollar. While some members assert that the intention is not to weaken the dollar, the prevailing direction of the initiatives could still be interpreted as a step in that direction.
Overall, the current developments surrounding the BRICS alliance and the resistance from the USA show how sensitive the global economic system reacts to changes. The positioning of China and Brazil could have far-reaching consequences for the international economic architecture and represents a crucial factor in shaping future global relations.
