I think the main motivation is to create an independent financial system outside western control.
BRICS have also stated that they will introduce their own reserve currency that will be backed by a basket of currencies fr BRICS members. Having large gold reserves would go a long way in legitimizing this scheme.
This will necessarily result in dollar based economy shrinking as much of the world trade will be happening outside it. US will also lose the ability to use sanctions as a weapon.
This likely won't lead to complete collapse of the dollar being in the foreseeable future. However, it will drastically reduce the influence US has over the global economy.
I'm guessing this is largely resulting from the exclusion from SWIFT as part of the Russian sanction regime. China likely wants as little exposure to that, especially with the apparent build up to an attempt at invading Taiwan.
Pretty much every country that's not a vassal state of the US now wants to divest from the dollar based economy. After the west decided to freeze Russian foreign assets without any legal basis it became clear that it's a lawless system.
The only lawless system here is russia invading ukraine.
Russia invading Ukraine is literally modelled on the precedent of NATO invading Yugoslavia. Thanks for providing us with the 🤡 perspective once again.
Like your west-is-bad china-russia-good 🤡 perspective,
and, as always, didn't disappoint in not forgetting to mention the NATO. Well done comrade.
I've seen Markov chains produce more coherent arguments than you.
How thoughtful of you, respect, comrade.
Exactly the output you'd expect a Markov chain to produce.
Your comments look AI generated, hope they pay wall chatgpt soon
Let's be fair here, chatgpt produces far more intelligible content.
Haha yeah, they tbf have a lot of data from comments to train a Liberal AI, and it would write better stuff
