China, Russia Criticise West at Brics Summit in South AfricaChina and Russia used the second day of the Brics Summit of emerging economies to criticise the West, while also throwing their support behind the proposed expansion of what's seen by some as an alternative power bloc, Kate Bartlett writes for Voice of America. The leaders of Brazil, India, and China are all in South Africa - which is hosting the event - while Russian President Vladimir Putin is participating virtually to avoid arrest under an International Criminal Court warrant over war crimes in Ukraine. Via video link, Putin said the West's actions had led to the conflict in Ukraine by trying to "promote their hegemony," "exceptionalism," and policies of "neo-colonialism." For his part, Chinese leader Xi Jinping noted the world was undergoing major shifts and had entered a new period of "turbulence and transformation." He blamed countries that form "exclusive blocs" for the problems. In other Brics developments, business leaders Patrice Motsepe (founder and chair of JSE-listed African Rainbow) and Stavros Nicolaou (an executive at Aspen Pharmacare) have called on the Brics countries to boost their trading activity with each other and with African countries during panel discussions at the Brics summit in Johannesburg on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. The South African government poured cold water on reports that India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi refused to disembark from his plane on Tuesday because he was not welcomed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, News24 reports.
