#ChinaDrama #BRICS #china #ChinaTech China's high-power 'Microwave Weapon' that can damage satellites in space

China has developed a high-power microwave system TPG1000Cs that could one day be used to disrupt satellite networks such as SpaceX's Starlink. According to Chinese experts, a ground-based microwave weapon with an output exceeding one gigawatt (1 GW) could be powerful enough to severely interfere with or even damage Starlink satellites operating in low Earth orbit, reported the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

The device can deliver up to 20 gigawatts of power continuously for as long as one minute. It measures just four meters in length and weighs around five tonnes.  This device has already completed more than 200,000 test pulses during trials and is designed for deployment on trucks, ships, aircraft or potentially in space. TPG1000Cs also represents a major upgrade over its earlier Hurricane-series high-power microwave (HPM) weapons, which were primarily designed for short-range air defence.

التقدم الكبير لمجموعة البريكس مع توسيع العضوية والنفوذ الاقتصادي، حيث تمثل الآن حوالي 35-40% من الناتج المحلي الإجمالي العالمي ونصف سكان العالم. تشمل التطورات الرئيسية تقديم فئة جديدة من الدول الشريكة تسمح بالمشاركة الأوسع ولكن بدون حق التصويت، وتقدم المبادرات المالية مثل BRICS Pay - وهو نظام يمكّن من التجارة بالعملات المحلية متجاوزًا SWIFT - وإطلاق وحدة البريكس، وهي عملة رقمية مدعومة بالذهب تهدف إلى تقليل الاعتماد على الدولار الأمريكي. على الرغم من هذه المكاسب، توجد توترات داخلية، خاصة مع معارضة الهند لجهود تقليل الاعتماد على الدولار بشكل عدواني، مما يعكس استراتيجيات متغيرة للأعضاء. تشمل التحديات الخارجية تهديدات بفرض تعريفات تجارية شديدة من الولايات المتحدة ضد الأعضاء الذين يتخلون عن الدولار. ومع ذلك، تواصل مجموعة البريكس تعزيز بنيتها التحتية المالية واحتياطيات الذهب لحماية نفسها من تقلبات العملات والعقوبات.

The currency landscape of 2026 is no longer a one-horse race. While the US Dollar (USD) remains the primary reserve, its foundation is shaking under the weight of $39 Trillion in debt and a bold, digital-first push from the Global South. As of today, February 5, we are seeing a "Sovereign Surge" in several key national and regional currencies.
1. The Indian Rupee ($INR): The "Trade Deal" Rebound
The Indian Rupee is the standout performer of the week. Following the historic India-U.S. Trade Deal announcement, the Rupee has staged a dramatic recovery.
The Move: The Rupee jumped to 90.33 against the USD today, a significant gain from its January lows.The Driver: Optimism surrounding lowered "reciprocal" tariffs and a narrowing Current Account Deficit (CAD) has triggered a wave of Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) interest.The "Malhotra" Factor: All eyes are on RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s interest rate announcement tomorrow, with traders betting on a stable policy to maintain the Rupee's newfound momentum.
2. BRICS & The CBDC Revolution
The most trending narrative on global currency desks is the 2026 BRICS Summit in India. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has formally proposed linking the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) of all member nations.
The Strategy: This "Digital Bridge" aims to facilitate cross-border trade and tourism without touching the SWIFT system or the US Dollar.The Growth: While a single "BRICS Currency" remains a future goal, bilateral settlements in Yuan, Rupee, and Real now cover nearly 30% of trade between some member states, marking the fastest-growing non-USD trade corridor in history.
3. The "Hard Currency" Trio: KWD, BHD, and OMR
While others fluctuate, the Middle Eastern "Oil Trio" remains the gold standard of exchange rate value.
Kuwaiti Dinar ($KWD): Continues to be the strongest currency in the world, valued at approximately $3.27 USD.Bahraini Dinar ($BHD) and Omani Rial ($OMR): Backed by massive sovereign wealth funds and disciplined fiscal management, these currencies have remained impenetrable to the 2026 global inflation spikes.
📊 Global Currency Health Check (Feb 5, 2026)
Currency Value vs. USD 24h Trend Status
Indian Rupee (INR) 90.33 ↗️ +14 Ps Trade Deal Optimism
British Pound (GBP) $1.37 ↔️ Neutral Holding Multi-year Highs
Euro (EUR) $1.18 ↘️ -0.05% Consolidating
Swedish Krona (SEK) +20.2% YTD ↗️ Strong European Growth Leader
🔮 Prediction: The "Digital Dollar" Counter-Attack
The US Dollar Index (DXY) is currently trading near 97.57. While it has tumbled 11% from its 2025 peak, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected to double down on "Strong Dollar" rhetoric tonight to prevent a capital flight.
The Squeeze: If U.S. Jobless Claims (releasing shortly) come in higher than expected, the Rupee and Euro could see another 1–2% jump by the weekend.The Risk: Geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran remain the "Wild Card" that could suddenly force investors back into the safety of the USD.
💡 Smart Strategy: We are in a "Multipolar Currency Era." For the first time, holding a basket of INR, KWD and Digital Gold ($BTC ) is becoming a mainstream institutional strategy. The days of "USD or nothing" are officially over.
Are you betting on the Rupee’s recovery or the Dollar’s "Strong Policy" comeback? 👇
