At the summit in Kazan, President Putin was shown a symbolic "BRICS banknote."

The note "represents the collective work being carried out within the BRICS framework."

On the front face of the banknote, the flags of the BRICS founding countries – Russia, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa – can be seen

Look at the pattern arrangement of the numbers...

I like it, a not so subtle callback to something that strikes fear into the enemies.

Why is China the only one having its name on the outside ring? And why is it just 中国 in traditional Chinese instead of the full one 中华人民共和国?

Why China (Guo)in traditional Characters?
this is not official. they made it without any discussion from other members. most probably this currency note is for western world to show the intentions of BRICS.

any collective currency from BRICS will be digitalized.

Yes but when you want to get things done, do it right, using traditional characters is embarassing, china being the only country outside the circle too

Common currency is unrealistic in the first place however it could be a references to BRICS unit of account (digital token). Something that was mentioned during summer.

The UNIT (token) is a unit of account of the UNIT ecosystem, representing a proportional share of the underlying UNIT basket, which contains 40% gold and local currencies, freely exchangeable into gold. Each UNIT token is a fully fungible currency unit.

The intrinsic value of the UNIT is derived from the current value of the basket of underlying assets, measured in gold. The economic value of the UNIT token is determined by the supply and demand. The supply and demand are determined by its use as medium of exchange or as a storage of value.
The UNIT ecosystem operation is guided by the UNIT rule-book

Grand Strategy: These BRICS can’t construct a new world order​


For India—neither fully status quoist nor revisionist—a middle path is inherently preferable, a stance not shared by its key BRICS partners

The more it sharpens its language against the West and the US, the less it would serve India’s geopolitical interests, and the less it serves as a platform that can encourage global structural reforms, the more India is likely to be disenchanted with the new BRICS.
Another potential point of contention among the BRICS members is regarding its consistent amplification of the concerns of the global South. This is problematic for several reasons. Neither are Russia and China members of the global south, nor are the Chinese and Indian visions for the global South align. While China seeks to cultivate a support group in the global south in its efforts against the US-led world order despite being a major stakeholder in such an order, India seeks to be a bridge between the developed north and impoverished south even though it is not a major beneficiary of such an order.
From an Indian perspective, BRICS has limited material value. For sure, it has benefitted from the BRICS development bank, helped India asset itself as a major non-Western power, and join forces with other non-Western powers to function as an influential actor in world politics, at least in terms of perceptions. But the expansion of the BRICS may go on to undo that for New Delhi.
Are all BRICS members genuinely committed to a reformed world order? Perhaps not. Consider this. While the founding premise of BRICS remains valid - that developing countries need greater representation in global politics. However, China—one of the bloc’s founding members—remains the biggest obstacle to the integration of India, its fellow founder, into international institutions. Can a grouping, whose members actively stop each other from gaining more representation in multilateral organisations, make a credible claim that it is serious about creating a more representative world order?
Two, as I pointed out above, there is a reason why BRICS-like groupings exist: to seek greater representation for developing countries in global politics. For sure, this underlying rationale of the BRICS is both laudable and must not be lost sight of. And yet, New Delhi would do well to refuse to allow the vehemently anti-Western voices in BRICS 2.0 to hijack the global South Agenda for their narrow geopolitical purposes.

While anti-Western narratives could serve as a smart opening move for India, it can’t be the main play in India’s grand strategy towards the international system.

Snakes, India's sellout nature never changed.
