Forget dollar reserves—these nations are accelerating commodity-backed trade deals and payment systems that bypass SWIFT. Another brick in the dedollarization wall.

BRICS Nation Set On 5-Year Course to Challenge US Dominance
The United States has spent the first four months of the year shaking up global trade. Specifically, the returning Trump administration implemented protectionist policies that sought to balance trade with all nations. However, the federal court has officially blocked those sweeping tariffs, creating even more convolution.
Yet, that hasn’t stopped much of the damage from being done, so to speak. Indeed, the country’s ongoing tension with the global south has resulted in some interesting action. Indeed, one BRICS nation has implemented a 5-year plan to challenge the US on the global stage.
According to a recent report, China is looking to challenge Western dominance. Specifically, Beijing is “planning for a protracted battle with Washington for economic supremacy,” a report stated. With that concerning reality in mind, they have unveiled a “five-year development blueprint” to ensure that they are able to stand in opposition to the US amid talk of a trade war.
The country’s 2026-2030 national economic development plan was officially put forth by President Xi Jinping this month. Moreover, it has a clear focus on scientific modernization and technological advancements. Additionally, it features a “comprehensive catalogue of quantifiable socio-economic goals” that the country is seeking to successfully accomplish.
The BRICS bloc has been clear in its efforts to lessen Western prominence. That has mainly come in the FORM of the US dollar. However, efforts to lessen its leadership in other areas may work in bringing that goal further toward fruition.
