What a shame! In a few years, Saudi students could speak, read and write more Chinese than the American born Chinese. The education authorities in Saudi Arabia have reportedly instructed all public and private secondary schools to teach two Chinese language classes each week. 真丟臉! 幾年之內,沙特學生說、讀、寫的中文數量將超過在美國出生的華人. 據報導,沙特阿拉伯教育當局已指示所有公立和私立中學每週開設兩節漢語課. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8F7j5D3/
Chinese private aerospace firm Galactic Energy launched its eighth Ceres 1 rocket on Friday, the latest effort by a Chinese private firm to expand its capabilities in rocket research and development (R&D) and launches.
It was the third launch within 35 days by Galactic Energy and the eighth successful flight for the rocket model.
The launch successfully sent Jilin-1 Kuanfu 02A satellite, self-developed by Chang Guang Satellite Technology Corp, to its preset orbit.

Some numbers and facts:
By adding these 6 countries, BRICS’ total GDP increases by about $8.2T, adding another 8% to the BRICS total of 31% (of global GDP). This is greater than the G-7’s total of 30% of GDP.
BRICS’ total landmass increases by 9M km2 (All of them are middle-to-large countries, except for the UAE–over 1M km2)
BRICS’ total population increases by 400M.
All of these new countries are resource rich (SA (energy), UAE (energy), Iran (energy), Argentina (energy, agriculture, minerals), Ethiopia (hydro-energy, water),
3 new “R” currencies are added (Arg. Real, SA Rial, Iranian Rial) to the original 6 R’s (Real, Ruble, Rupee, RMB, Rand)+the UAE Dirham, Ethiopian Birr, Egyptian Pound.
Note the increasing association of petro/energy powerhouses (SA, UAE, Iran) which will challenge the US Petrodollar Also, the joining of agricultural, mineral, and logistical powerhouses (Arg, Ethiopia, UAE)
Note also the geographic distribution: Each one is a key regional player. Asia/Eurasia/Central Asia (China, Russia, India, Iran) Middle East (SA, UAE) Africa (SA, Egypt, Ethiopia) America (Brazil Argentina)
The most astonishing fact here is that those countries are SO different from each others and, for some of them, geopolitical rivals. It goes to show how much they’re all fed up with the current US-led world order, ready to put their enormous differences aside to reform it. This is the “antihegemonic coalition united not by ideology but by complementary grievances” that Zbigniew Brzezinski was warning about. Except it isn’t “the most dangerous scenario [of] a grand coalition of China, Russia, and perhaps Iran” that he was fearing, but a MUCH broader one! Historic and catastrophic mistake by the West (mainly the US) to have insisted on hegemony instead of building an inclusive world order, because by doing so they sowed the seeds of that coalition
BRICS: 44.65% of world population and 36.91% of world GDP (PPP) G7: 9.66% of world population and 29.89% of world GDP (PPP) In other words, BRICS is now 4.6X the G7 in terms of population and 23.48% bigger than the G7 in terms of economic size
West trying to scupper BRICS. Countries of the “golden billion” are willing to do anything to preserve a unipolar world order, the Russian president has said 西方試圖破壞金磚國家。 俄羅斯總統表示,“黃金十億”國家願意採取一切措施來維護單極世界秩序
The BRICS group is not trying to compete with or oppose any other nation or group, but nevertheless faces resistance from countries of the so-called “golden billion” that wish to preserve their global dominance, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. 俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京表示,金磚國家集團無意與任何其他國家或集團競爭或反對,但仍然面臨著希望保持其全球主導地位的所謂“金十億”國家的抵制。
“They are trying to replace the system of international law with their own so-called rules-based-order,” Putin said 普京表示:“他們正試圖用自己所謂的基於規則的秩序取代國際法體系。”
“Modern colonialists, hiding behind the good slogans of democracy and human rights, seek to solve their problems at someone else’s expense, continuing to shamelessly pump resources out of developing countries,” Putin claimed. 普京聲稱:“現代殖民主義者躲在民主和人權的美好口號背後,試圖以犧牲別人的利益為代價來解決自己的問題,繼續無恥地從發展中國家榨取資源。”
“For the sake of opportunistic tasks, some politicians do not hesitate to even justify neo-Nazism, xenophobia, extremism of different kinds and condone terrorists,” Putin observed. 普京指出:“為了機會主義任務,一些政客甚至不惜為新納粹主義、仇外心理、各種極端主義辯護,並縱容恐怖分子。”
