framework beyond multipolar neoliberalism
This is the issue I see from BRICS, it's basically reheating neoliberalism and slapping the multipolar word onto it.
If you are a country that partake into a global trade system, you don't want a multipolar world where there are no enforcer of "fair trade". You would prefer the current system that might penalize the whole country but not the bank account of the country's ruling class.
In the event, that you want to maintain neoliberalism but without challenging the US and cry about the unfair treatment, the next step is to create a trading bloc which you have certain advantages in it, but this is not a challenge to the system, it's carving a fiefdom for yourself
This is why i still don't understand US foreign policy establishment, you can easily normalize in earnest with Iran and Russia (if they have to choose between China or US, they would choose the latter 9 out of 10) and carve out piece by piece Chinese global asset and starve it onto the table since there are no cohesion between Brics member states.
