BRICS wants a bigger Global South voice in world institutions, says expert

BRICS is pushing to reform the postwar international order seen as exclusionary, according to Marta Fernandez, director of the BRICS Policy Center.

Its members are working on two tracks, she says: pressing existing global institutions to give the Global South greater voting power, while building new platforms that offer a different vision of what development can look like.

China offers the world inspiration, not domination, says former Romanian minister

China does not seek to lead by force and that is precisely its strength, according to Adrian Severin, Romania's former deputy prime minister and foreign minister.

Severin argues that China's instinct to include rather than exclude and to encourage rather than sanction are not recent inventions, but qualities shaped over centuries and millennia. It is precisely these characteristics, he says, that make China uniquely suited to guide the world toward a more just order.

He contrasts this with the West, which he says has long tried to impose its values on others out of a sense of superiority. The Global South, meanwhile, has been held back by the opposite: a lack of confidence in its own voice. Both mindsets, he says, must now change.

[The Main Battlefield in the East 1931-1945 | (Episode 6) Great Triumph: Unconditional Surrender of Japan]

On August 15, 1945, a radio broadcast was aired throughout Japan in which Japanese Emperor Hirohito read the Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War, announcing Japan’s unconditional surrender. After valiantly fighting a bloody war for 14 years, the Chinese people won the first complete victory in their resistance against foreign invasion in modern times. This remarkable victory was an integral part of the global triumph in the World Anti-Fascist War, a victory for both the Chinese people and the people of the world.

The so-called "China shock" is essentially a defensive narrative put forward by those who benefit from the existing economic order. Their real concern is that advanced capabilities once monopolized by a handful of countries & companies are becoming available and affordable to many more — and with that, their monopoly erodes.

What holds back global growth today isn't a surplus of technology — it's weak cooperative frameworks, a worsening climate for openness & institutions that can't keep pace.

BRICS made diversity its strength, says expert

When BRICS first emerged, many analysts predicted it would not last. The member countries were simply too different from one another, the argument went, too diverse to hold together.

They were wrong, according to Marta Fernandez, director of the BRICS Policy Center. In this clip, Fernandez argues that BRICS has reframed what diversity means in geopolitics — not a weakness to be managed but a source of collective strength. Where Western powers have long treated differences between nations as obstacles to be overcome, BRICS has made them central to its identity and its appeal.

With 11 full members and growing global influence, she says, the organization has proved its doubters wrong.

China is only major country with a vision for global governance, says former Romanian minister

Of all the major countries today, China has gone furthest in putting forward a coherent vision for how global affairs should be organized, according to Adrian Severin, Romania's former deputy prime minister and foreign minister.

In this clip, Severin points to China's four global initiatives — covering development, security, civilization and now governance — as a logically connected framework that few others have matched. Others, he says, have offered criticism of the existing order and piecemeal suggestions, but nothing approaching a full alternative vision.

The Global Governance Initiative, he says, was the logical final piece, completing a picture that Beijing has been building systematically while other major countries have remained reactive.

[The Main Battlefield in the East 1931-1945 | (Episode 5) Supporting the Just Cause: International Aid to China & the Anti-fascist Alliance]

The Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression involved tremendous national sacrifices and historic contributions to the World Anti-Fascist War. Their efforts won the Chinese people sympathy and support from many countries. The Soviet Union provided substantial material support to China, while the U.S. “Flying Tigers” ventured to establish the Hump route, a perilous aerial supply line during WWII. Anti-fascist activists from many countries—Korea, Vietnam, Canada, India, New Zealand, Poland, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, and even Japan—fought alongside the Chinese people.

The victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression stands as a great triumph achieved through the joint struggle of the Chinese people with fellow Allied Forces members and people worldwide.
