Gravitas: Xi's Power Play; China Turns BRICS Into Propaganda Platform? Bigger Agenda to Woo Africa?

By adding more members, Beijing wants to bolster its image as a global leader. Molly Gambhir brings you the story.

China is a superpower, India is not. It's just that simple. That aside, South Africa and China have the right to do whatever they have to in order to promote their relations and interests.

Lol this biased reporting just made me dislike this channel. Accusing xi of pushing China proganda while pushing india proganda is wild to me. Nothing wrong with the events today as China is South Africas biggest trade partner by far. India is the one that needs to learn from China, not the other way around.

We need BRICS to succeed. Multipolar world

[adenijiademola]

You are not speaking for BRICS, you are speaking for India

[theresalewis]

She is seething with jealousy. You are just making India look much lower in ranks.

[nasseemmuttur]

China does not need brics to be number one.

[brandim]

Your report about China was mostly opinions and your views, bring facts to the table not how you want us to view China.

[smun]

Respect is earned with action and not bought by
by just talk. India and Modi is still not in that category yet,
but perhaps in time this will change.

[samuelnzamalu]

India should leave BRICS...
There are better countries that can replace it pap

[musayusuph]

The problem of india is to try stop china growth instead of developing insia

[englishtito]

Problem india is trying to compete with China and India is 100 years behind so play with your type

[maxromy]

Here comes a little western media reporting

[ezekielkrawere]

India is still not yet in that category to be influencial.India needs to come down its shoulders seek its interests within the organisation. Talking and critising China won't help you.China is a global super power and a big contributer to BRICS.It's common sense for China to be influencial in BRICS.
India can leave tomorrow if it wants to.There's a lot of countries who can replace her.

[thamsanqamayekiso]

Nonsense. What was bestowed on him was what every other leader get on state visits.

[assivito]

Indian journalist very jealous. China is in another league, you can't compare the difference is clear.

[brianlowe]

At least they are not talking war Like USA japan Korea meeting like aukus quad. And setting up military bases.

[CobraPR]

What has India done for Africa or any other country?
China has invested in many countries.

[martin]

I will stop watching your news if you continue with this biased information
