Argentina is set to join the BRICS squad ๐ after the groupโs expansion announcement at last weekโs Johannesburg summit. Alongside Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, the South American nation now aims to reshape global economic alliances โ and locals have big dreams.
With productivity and industrial growth topping their wishlist, Argentinians told CGTN that partnering with China could be a game-changer. ๐ \\"We want to make better products,\\" one Buenos Aires resident said, highlighting hopes for tech transfers and innovation.
As BRICS grows into an 11-member alliance representing 46% of the worldโs population, Argentina eyes Chinaโs expertise in green energy and AI. Could this be the start of a cross-continental power-up? ๐ Experts say the collaboration might spark new supply chains while addressing Argentinaโs inflation challenges.
With young entrepreneurs buzzing about startup opportunities and students eyeing exchange programs, this BRICS expansion isnโt just geopolitics โ itโs Gen-Zโs new global playground. ๐ ๏ธ๐
