They want to develop their own - as they should! Europe should learn from this. Stop purchasing critical components and resources from your enemies. Develop the critical stuff on your own.
Doesn't that indicate that international cooperation is breaking down? I read this interesting paper about a chimp war, one of the first acts of aggression was chimps patrolling territorial borders.
Possibly. It's a reshuffling after the US dominance is being destroyed by the orangutan with the red button. People are now more aware of its nation ~~building~~ meddling efforts and are rightfully trying to find other trade partners and products. Just because those aren't the US doesn't mean it's the end of cooperation. The US isn't the only partner out there.
Also, it's good that countries are recognising the delusion of reliance on a single entity. The EU relied on the US for protection and practically lost its army. Many countries relied on the WHO being funded by the US instead of trying to diversify the funding. The entire world basically relies on oil and is now paying the price (as it should). Many countries developed tech but relied on the US market to grow companies and om China for production. All of that is luckily changing.
Whether we will ultimately learn from our mistakes? I don't know, but history has a tendency of repeating itself. Things will shake up, settle down, people will get complacent, a crisis (or multiple) will happen, and it'll shake things

No but it is apes drawing lines in the sand, which is always dangerous. I also don't see the type of solidarity I would like in BRICS unlike the cold war there is no ideological clarity, ideology has a lot of problems but it's still better glue than the weird mish mash of shakey anti imperialism you see being formed around BRICs. I know some fellow mls are going to hate on me for this but it's true, and deep down they know it. What I'd point to is Marx's concept of metabolic rift which is really popular in the green Marxist space, I don't see any members of BRICs really moving away from the western modernist conception of wealth. I keep hearing things about countries lowering their CO2 output but all I see is that graph going up.
Humans as are in a pretty unique situation right know where our environment is about to start fighting back. The complex systems we were able to build over 200 years or so are about to be hit very very hard. Its kind of already happening it's just that people who work in politics will use their training to explain the situations to themselves. If hu

If humans really want to get out of this mess we need to start seeing ourselves as humans just animals that evolved in an interesting way.
All this war arguing about nations languages politics and squabbling over resources so some empire can retain a modern lifestyle is a dead end.
Anyways read the paper I posted. Large group of chimps started arguing randomly because there were to many and close social bonds started breaking down, diplomats got killed, shit escalated now those chimps hate each other. Humans are the fucking same we just have better cognitive capabilities so we can use cool abstract terms to justify the same behavior, If we could just recognize that similar things happen to us maybe the world would be a better place idk.
The United States never understood international cooperation, only coercion. Reduced dependency means the world is in the process moving on from being subjected to whims of one country and its subjects.
