China Invites Like-Minded Countries to Join BRICS — Expanding Alliances, Reshaping Power
BRICS is no longer static: its widening circle, new cooperative corridors, and open membership overtures mark deeper shifts in global alignment — economically, politically, and financially.
China’s Open Call to Emerging Economies
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that China “welcomes like-minded partners to participate in BRICS cooperation and jointly promote a more just and equitable international order.”
China framed BRICS co-op as a platform for developing countries and emerging markets — trade, finance, health, science & tech, and people-to-people exchanges are highlighted as areas for expanded cooperation.
Recent Expansion & Palestine’s Application
Palestine has formally applied to join BRICS. According to its ambassador to Russia, it may initially participate as a “guest” until it meets full membership conditions. China has expressed openness to more “like-minded partners,” though has not committed explicitly to supporting Palestine’s full membership.
Expansion has already moved fast: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates were admitted in 2024; Indonesia joined as a full member in 2025.
Strategic & Resource Dimensions
BRICS is mapping new mineral corridors across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, noting Africa holds about 30% of known critical mineral reserves (cobalt, manganese, etc.).
China’s rhetoric emphasizes “multipolarity” and “greater democracy in international relations,” suggesting BRICS expansion is part ideological / normative as well as materially strategic.
Additional Context & Sources
Vietnam has been officially recognized as a BRICS partner country, allowing participation in summits and discussions without full membership.
China and Vietnam recently issued statements supporting a multilateral trade regime, rejecting unilateral tariffs and defending trade norms; Vietnam signaled readiness to deepen alignment with BRICS.
Analysis from CFR notes that more than thirty countries applied to join BRICS or expressed interest in 2024 (including Turkey, Malaysia, Azerbaijan) in an effort to gain influence and access to alternative trade, financial, and diplomatic blocs.
How This Reflects Global Financial & Political Realignment
Multipolar Power Structure
▪️ BRICS expansion reflects growing dissatisfaction with Western-led financial institutions and norms. As more countries join, the bloc’s ability to influence international development finance, trade rules, and even reserve currency discussions grows.
▪️ By inviting “like-minded partners,” China and BRICS are fostering a coalition that can operate in parallel to U.S./EU dominated institutions, with different priorities (e.g. resource sovereignty, decentralized finance, non-USD trade).
🔹 Resource Corridors & Infrastructure as Leverage
▪️ The mineral corridors (Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America) are not just economic; they feed into supply chains for tech, green energy, batteries, and semiconductors — vital fields in the coming decades. Who controls or secures these corridors will shape who has economic and geopolitical leverage.
▪️ New projects and infrastructure in partner countries may be financed via BRICS institutions (like the New Development Bank), which gives both China and BRICS members financial influence.
Norms, Legitimacy & Financial Inclusion
▪️ Recognition of Palestine, gestures of openness, and rhetoric about “justice” and “equitable international order” serve to build legitimacy for BRICS among the Global South. This can shift where foreign aid, trade preferences, diplomatic trust, and investment are directed.
▪️ Countries that feel underrepresented or constrained by traditional systems may increasingly see BRICS membership as a means of accessing finance, trade, and diplomatic weight without being tied to U.S.-centric institutions.
Why This Matters for the World
The recent moves show BRICS transforming from a collection of large emerging economies into a more inclusive, globally influential bloc. With China pushing membership expansion, resource collaboration, and normative framing, BRICS is becoming an alternative architecture in trade, financing, and geopolitical influence.
These developments mean the rules of the global game are shifting. Countries will need to reassess alliances, trade dependencies, reserve holdings, and financial partnerships in light of a rising multipolar bloc that offers alternatives to the old order.
This is not just politics — global finance restructuring before our eyes.
