Marco Fernandes, People's Dispatch. (2023-08-22). Can BRICS Lead A Wave Of Assertion From The Global South? popularresistance.org In recent days, a series of articles in the mainstream Western media have clearly demonstrated the concern of Western powers about the possible growth of the BRICS bloc, which over 20 more countries are interested in joining. Reuters, citing anonymous sources in the Brazilian Foreign Ministry, said that Brasilia would oppose the expansion and that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not attend the summit. A couple of days after the Reuters article, Brazilian President Lula da Silva was emphatic in reaffirming his position in favor of expansion, and sources denied rumors that Modi would skip the meeting.

El Salvador's model of authoritarianism may be spreading to countries like Costa Rica and Honduras. therealnews.com Costa Rica, a tourist's paradise and a country without a military, has historically been one of Central America's strongest democracies, but times are changing.

Andrew Robinson (2023-08-19). Perspectives] Revealing the hidden roots of modern China. thelancet.com Think of 19th-century China, and what comes to mind? Probably the mid-century opium wars between China and Europe and the cession of Hong Kong to the UK; maybe the Boxer Rebellion of 1899 against foreign imperialism; and perhaps the Dowager Empress Cixi, who ruthlessly controlled the Chinese imperial government for almost 50 years. Yet many other fresh perspectives can be found in the British Museum's China's Hidden Century exhibition.
