International politics

In recent times, the world order is shifting from unipolarity to multipolarity. The concept of multipolarity is being perpetuated by emergence of regional platforms such as; BRICS, SCO, and many more. All these platforms, especially BRICS, under the soft power of china are collectively working to counter the concept of unilateralism. They are doing trades in their local currency in order to promote the concept of multilateral trade in global market. The another objective behind it, to counter the influence of the USA dollar. Hence, all emerging economies are working together to build a new world order of multipolarity.

The change has been long overdue, and I do hope to still be alive to witness the collapse of the current world order which has mostly been thriving off wars, looting, neocolonialism among other things.
It's about time most countries woke up and realized that the globe does not rotate around only one superpower that they have been made to think for decades

All this stuff is fake. What really counts is what the general populace does with their country when the fake stuff begins to hurt them too much.

And that doesn't make China implement their soft power to their allies and even opponents in the emerging markets. They know how powerful they are and that's why they're trying to dominate almost every industry that they have a strength on. There is power in number and that's what they're trying to do. While they have their own power based from their economy and military, it's not enough for them to take down dollar as it's got more allies than them and more open to different industries. Both have the same strategy to gain more numbers and allies, aside from their military strength, they're using their wealth to give loans to their potential partners. I guess in the end, with all of these global alliances will still lead to same-same thing. And it's about them all becoming trade partners to each other.

"Multipolarity" assumes that regional platforms are unified.  This is far from the case: BRICS represents an enormous difficulty caused by several competing national interests among its member states.  For example, India and China are direct border adversaries and the new members have vastly different economic objectives from one another.  China does not lead a group of subordinate countries through "soft power" rather, it seeks to take these platforms as tributary systems.

It has never been a hidden fact that so many countries are tired of how one particular country has dominated the global political ecosystem and the rise of geopolitical groups like BRICS & SCO clearly proves that! without a doubt and the push amongst themselves to encourage trading in local currencies is one perfect way to describe their tiredness of the dependent on just the US dollar for their international transactions, they are fighting to balance the global financial and economic system, because at the moment just one country has the upper hand.

BRICS isn't any different than how the USDollar has been used. All the major countries use the USD to some extent. This is only an attempt to switch things over to BRICS usage.


Will the BRICS 'UNIT' really challenge the dollar?

At a major summit in Russia last year, a banknote was unveiled that carried more symbolism than monetary value.

It hinted at the growing ambitions of BRICS+ – a group of emerging economies anchored by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – to develop alternatives to the existing global financial system.

The banknote itself, ringed with national flags and multilingual text, was dubbed an R5: acknowledging the ruble, real, rupee, renminbi and rand of the bloc's core members.

Now, there are moves to turn that symbolism into something more concrete. This December, speculation increased around plans for a new BRICS+ currency and payment system known as the UNIT.

Designed by the International Reserve and Investment Asset System, the UNIT is backed by a fixed reserve basket of 40% gold (by weight) and 60% in BRICS+ currencies. It would be delivered via a digital platform using transparent blockchain technology.
