In the end, it will be like Bretton Woods: there will be one or two major powers to which the others will have to submit. otherwise they will simply be excluded.

So, it seems to me that Brazil and India are about to be excluded. Will China 'control' Russia? I think this is doomed to fail, at least in the way it's being planned.

I don't have any specific information, but we all know the history of China-India relations. Do you think India would trust China to lead and safeguard their gold?

Never. But maybe they'll find more than one storage (Singapore as neutral state) and can establish bilateral audits? for example, more and more oil and gas between Russia, China, Iran and other countries in the region is no longer transacted in dollars.
