Leaders from emerging economies convene in Kazan under the Brics banner, but China faces challenges with the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. China's role as a leader for developing nations is tested as tensions rise between Ethiopia and Egypt. The dam threatens Egypt's water supply, straining relations in the region. China's delicate geopolitical balance is at risk as it navigates involvement in the GERD dispute while upholding its non-interference policy in Africa. The situation serves as a test for China's evolving relationship with the Global South and Africa.
