Where it breaks apart

• — Scope in the face of the Western order — Russia and China present the bloc as a multipolar alternative accounting for more than 40% of global GDP, while American and German readings highlight internal divisions limiting this scope.
• — Common BRICS currency — Moscow is pushing for interoperability of payments in national currencies, while the American press reports that India and Brazil are resisting the idea of a common currency for the bloc and new loans for sanctioned Russia.
• — Central fault line — Perspectives do not agree on the conflict deemed most decisive for the bloc's cohesion: some focus the narrative on the division between the UAE and Iran, others on the war in Ukraine, with the Chinese press not explicitly mentioning either.
