Media outlets across east Asia were reporting that Cheung, who had just finished her A-levels, had been declared a threat to national security by officials in Hong Kong. There was an offer of HK$1m (£94,000) to anyone who could assist in her arrest or capture.
Friends said: ‘Sorry, you are a criminal in Hong Kong now so we can’t be associated with you.’ Even friends in Leeds stopped seeing me
There are no BRICS partners. The union literally does nothing but yap contrarian lmao
You’re maybe right… I’d love to see an alternative currency for international trade though. We’re done with US Dollars.
Why? What would you gain with a dollar competitor? I mena no one’s stopping you using other currencies right now unless your an oligarch in a gas station country.
Well, US companies have the monopoly on credit cards. US imposes SWIFT all around he world. If I buy something on amazon, or alibaba, it will be converted to USD and then to my currency. All commodities, on what my country depends, are rated in USD, even if few sell it to China or Europe… And all of this for what? What is the actual value US is putting into all of this? Its only getting a share on something it has nothing to do. And it just gives US fu**ed up governors the chance to impose sanctions to whoever they want in order to interfere with foreign affairs.
Thats simply not true. I say that as European living in Asia - none of my euros are converted to dollars, ever.
So, Magnitsky law, and SWIFT blockades are for nothing? Just because it’s not explicit on the website, it doesn’t mean it’s not doing it behind the scenes. That’s how economy works… If I buy something from China, my money goes there by SWIFT transactions, which is controlled by US.
Lmao what does that even have to do with BRICS. You’re lost somewhere bro
There are people that just come online to argue with others and try to make a point no matter what, no matter how rude they are, and no matter how embarrassed they become… Sorry for u. Meanwhile read this article. It seems that you didn’t see news about BRICS, Brazil and US sanctions for a while. https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2025/07/24/trumps-astonishing-battering-of-brazil
