Скачать или смотреть Can Modi's Global South tour challenge China's dominance?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed his longest foreign trip in a decade, visiting five nations across three continents in his bid to position India as leader of the Global South. From securing critical minerals in Ghana and Namibia to addressing the BRICS summit in Brazil, Modi is attempting to unite developing countries against what he sees as China's weaponisation of resources. With stops in Trinidad and Tobago and Argentina, the tour focused on energy partnerships and mineral access as India seeks alternatives to Chinese dominance. At the BRICS summit, Modi called for UN Security Council reform and condemned terrorism, while warning against countries using critical minerals "as a weapon." But with China controlling 90 percent of global rare earths processing, can India truly offer a credible alternative?
