- China inducts 70K tonnes of ships in one day
- China has ordered 100s of new J-20s and is making J-35, J-31, WS next-gen engines, new missiles, ordering S400s
- China is making 100s new infra projects within their country
- China is paying 100s of billions in financing to over 80 countries worldwide
- China is funding insurgent movements in countries it deems a threat or wants influence
- China is giving arms in large conflicts like Ethiopia's civil war right now
- China is pumping money in BRI (outside China) in the 17+1 format

Even the US does not seem to have this much money. Where the hell are they getting so much money from?

Operation Kaveri shows India’s rising capability to pull off evacuation operations within days in distant, hostile theatres. Also indicates growing: 1. capacity to deploy diplo, intel, military resources 2. internal coordination 3. political salience

Doval in Saudi to discuss US rail link plan for West Asia

Project to use Indian rail expertise, connect West and South Asia via sea

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval Sunday met his counterparts from the US, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to discuss an ambitious proposal being pushed by the White House to link West Asian countries through rail — using Indian expertise — and connect the region to South Asia via sea lanes.

Sources in New Delhi said Doval has travelled to Saudi Arabia for Sunday’s meeting. The participants are expected to discuss the broad contours of the massive joint project to build railway, maritime and road connectivity in the larger region, linking the Indian subcontinent in South Asia with West Asia — which the US calls the Middle East.

Do not trust the US presence. Please do recall the CIA manual for disrupting any endeavor that would be detrimental to the US' interests.

Argentina is bankrupt, Iran under severe sanctions, Ethiopia is a basket case, Egypt is economically struggling. Except for Saudi and UAE the rest of them add no value to BRICS.
