Russia’s Crazy Idea – Owning the Internet with China | News

Gusev announced this week on Telegram that he had submitted a proposal to the Russian Duma.

Russia Today wrote that the proposal is currently before Russian Development and Communications Minister Maksut Shadayev.

BRICS, soon to be called BRICS+, is an economic cooperation currently made up of Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa.

It is estimated that in 2024 the BRICS countries will account for half of global GDP.

The idea has already been floated by Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who unveiled a separate cybernet at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen earlier this week.

– Xi said at the opening of the conference: – We call for giving priority to development and building a more inclusive and prosperous cyberspace.
