What do rare earth exports, frozen assets, and a $100B BRICS bank have in common? They’re all part of a massive global change, one you probably didn’t see coming. In this episode of Think BRICS, we dive into four major developments shaping the multipolar world, revealing how the balance of power is changing between China vs West, and what it means for economic sovereignty across the globe.
First, we examine China’s strategic move on rare earth exports, targeting the U.S. and EU while giving India a surprising exemption—raising big questions about India China relations. Then we unpack the dramatic fallout from the Nexperia China case, where a Netherlands chipmaker was seized by Dutch authorities, triggering what may be the first corporate split along geopolitical lines.
We also explore the controversial asset seizures of Russian and Venezuelan wealth—impacting not only governments, but millions of ordinary investors. From frozen Venezuela gold to blocked shares in Apple and Tesla, the human cost is staggering. Finally, we highlight Indonesia BRICS developments, as Southeast Asia’s largest economy joins the BRICS New Development Bank, reinforcing a growing shift away from Western-led financial institutions.
This isn’t just another update on BRICS news—it’s a detailed look at how financial systems, global trade, and sovereign strategy are being redefined right now. If you’re watching global markets, policymaking, or power shifts, this is the analysis mainstream media often misses.
