Xi's Listening Post: A Warning to the World on Technology and Minerals As the leaders of the BRICS nations gathered in New Delhi for their annual summit, a subtle yet significant shift in tone was palpable.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the gathering, particularly his warnings about the weaponization of technology and critical minerals, sent a clear message to China's President Xi Jinping: the world is watching, and it will not be silenced.
Modi's remarks come at a time when global anxieties about China's stranglehold on the supply chains of critical minerals are reaching a fever pitch.
