Chinese president Xi Jinping refused to go to Rio to the last summit BRICS under the pretext of conflict planning and after gathering with his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Ignacia Lula da Silva twice this year.
South China Morning Post He speculated that the real reason was that Xi did not want to be there "perceived as a supporting actor", given the state dinner that Lula would give to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who would be the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Brazil for almost six decades.
Despite border deescalation agreements, to which Xi and Modi agreed at the last BRICS summit, China and India inactive stay rivals, which late revealed in reports of Chinese support for Pakistan during last Indian-Pakistan conflict and India's perceptionThat China is utilizing SCHOOL against them. Therefore, given that Modi is undoubtedly the most crucial VIP at the group's last yearly meeting, it may happen that Xi felt uncomfortable and so refused to attend.
This hypothesis straight leads to the question of why Lula agreed that Modi's visit should be an authoritative state visit combined with her dinner, even though he went there to attend a multilateral event. Although this could only have been due to protocolar reasons, given the historical importance of his visit, Lula could besides calculate that it could extend Brazil's balance with her erstwhile in most of the Chinese-American binary nature more complex by including India. This could ease Trump's pressure.
Lula, whose evolution into liberal-globalist during his 3rd word (as documented in respective twelve analyses mentioned at the end of this here) led to his close alliance with Biden, supported Kamala just before the last U.S. presidential election, and Last time he told TrumpTo halt him tweeting so much. All of this naturally led to him being targeted by Trump precisely erstwhile Brazil and the US are active in the talks trade and Energywhose successful result is more crucial for Brazil than for the US.
Fate wanted Modi's decision to personally participate in the last BRICS summit and thus become the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Brazil for almost six decades, gave Lula the chance to make a state visit to him, which could have been liable for Xi's absence at the event. From a U.S. perspective, there may indeed be a connection between the 2 events, which may appeal to Luli Trump if he shares this conviction for the proposition of his advisors.
Finally after first time Xi will not participate in the BRICS Summit in any way, even remotely. The resulting optics fuel speculation by Western media on China's engagement in a group that can manipulate any views of the world's public, regardless of their veracity. This series of events – China's Indian rival (who is inactive friends with the US despite recent efforts The U.S. for its submission), a visit to Brazil, Xi's refusal to participate in the BRICS summit and spin Western media – is in line with US interests.
Consequently, Xi's absence at the last BRICS summit (regardless of the real reasons behind it) could stimulate the US-Brazilian ties and comparatively reduce China's function in balancing Brazil if India's function in this summit shortly became more significant, which in full could be considered China's failure. This is surely not a serious problem, and it can possibly be reversed through skillful Chinese diplomacy, but it is inactive hard for any honest observer to specify this consequence as meaningless, let alone success.
