China wanting to serve the Global South countries is a fact accompli. It is already well and truly a done deal. China saw the whole picture more clearly since Trump's first term when he started the trade war. China knows this is the beginning of the end of China's flourishing trade with the USA and over the years, China had already decided that decoupling cannot be avoided.

So, what had China done before and after Trump's first term? In fact, thinking long term, China and Russia already started the ball rolling with the formation of BRICS in 2009, followed by China's BRI project in 2013, well before Trump's first term, having seen the trajectory of the USA's agenda against China under Biden and Obama.

It is rather difficult to pinpoint the straw that broke the camel's back that pushed China to prepare itself for the oncoming anti-China mantra over the last two to three decades. But it was a blessing in disguise that China took the bull by the horns and decided on a path that was plainly seen as a decoupling move, slow but undaunted mindset.

Which is why serving the Global South countries is so important a step to be taken. The preparation was strategic; the commitment total and the result is positive enough to make the USA worried and paranoid. Otherwise, why is Trump unnerved by de-dollarization and even threatening countries joining BRICS with punishing tariffs. Trump can do what he does best, but countries are still giving Trump their middle finger and queuing to join BRICS.
