B2BRICS FOR CHINA: A DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR EXPORTING INDUSTRIAL GOODS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND SERVICES TO BRICS+

1. CHINA IN THE BRICS+ SYSTEM: MACROECONOMIC CONTEXT AND STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE

1.1 Macroeconomic profile and global trade leadership

China remains the world’s largest trading power, despite slower growth in 2024–2025. Key indicators:[1][2][3]

• GDP: $17.9 trillion nominal (2024), $36.2 trillion PPP
• Population: 1.4 billion
• Goods exports: $343.7 billion in 2024 (2.3% higher than 2023)
• Services exports: $97.2 billion in 2024
• Total foreign trade (imports+exports): $1.35 trillion in 2024

China’s export structure (2024):

• Electronics and electrical equipment: $134.5 billion (39% of total exports) — chips, phones, computers, LEDs, batteries
• Machinery and equipment: $78.2 billion (23%) — engines, generators, pumps, machine tools, industrial equipment
• Textiles and apparel: $34.7 billion (10%)
• Chemicals and plastics: $28.5 billion (8%)
• Raw materials and semi-finished goods: $18.3 billion (5%) — metals, rare earths (exports are state-controlled)
• Furniture and others: $24.3 billion (7%)
• Vehicles: $25.2 billion (7%) — EVs, components

Trade with BRICS+ (2024):

According to China’s statistical authorities, China’s trade turnover with BRICS+ partners in the first nine months of 2024 reached 4.62 trillion yuan ($636 billion equivalent), which is 5.1% higher than in the same period of 2023.[1][2]

However, this trade is distributed extremely unevenly:

Partner	Share in China–BRICS+ trade	Volume (billion yuan)
India	18%	833
Russia	11%	509
Brazil	9%	416
South Africa	4%	185
Other BRICS+ countries	58%	2,679

The most important observation: 93% of China’s trade with BRICS+ is concentrated among large corporations and state-owned enterprises. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs — defined in China as companies with annual revenue under 400 million yuan) control only 7% of trade with the bloc.[3]

1.2 Challenges for Chinese SMEs entering BRICS+ markets

Despite the “Belt and Road” initiative and political support at the CPC level, Chinese SMEs face the following barriers when exporting to BRICS+:

1. Information asymmetry

• Lack of data on local demand, certification requirements, and customs procedures in each BRICS+ country
• Tariff and non-tariff requirements differ by country (e.g., CE standards for Russia, BIS for India)
• No unified demand catalog for goods across the bloc

2. Logistics complexity

• Ocean logistics across the Atlantic (to Brazil) — 30–45 days
• Overland logistics via Central Asia to Russia — 10–20 days, but customs complexity
• Port fees and multiple intermediaries along routes (loss of margin by 3–7%)
• Lack of an integrated logistics platform for BRICS+ routes

3. Financial and FX risks

• SWIFT transactions take 3–5 days with 1.5–3% fees
• Volatility of the ruble, rupee, and South African rand (4–6% swings per month)
• No direct access to SPFS (Russia), NPCI (India), and “pixel” systems in other countries
• US and EU sanctions complicate foreign-currency operations even for companies indirectly linked to Western partners

4. Trust and verification

• Unknown buyers in BRICS+ countries: how to verify solvency?
• No unified SME rating and verification standard inside the bloc
• High losses from non-payments (average default share: 2–4% of export volume)

5. Sanctions and political risks

• US and EU sanctions create uncertainty for companies exporting to Russia
• Unclear legal status of exports to some new BRICS+ members (Iran, Belarus, Venezuela)
• Political fluctuations in trade relations can block market access overnight

1.3 Strategic importance of BRICS+ for diversifying China’s exports

Against the backdrop of rising Western sanctions and trade wars (US tariffs on Chinese goods increased by 25–35% in 2024–2025), access to BRICS+ markets becomes strategically important for China:

Opportunities:

• A market of 3.9 billion people: BRICS+ covers much of the Global South (Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East)
• Reduced dependence on Western markets: if the US and EU still account for 40–45% of China’s exports, BRICS+ could grow from 12% to 20–25% with development
• Currency alternative to the dollar: direct settlements in yuan, rubles, and rupees via BRICS Pay reduce pressure from US sanctions
• Technological leadership: China can export high-tech goods (EVs, batteries, 5G equipment, solar panels) to countries closed off from Western technology
• Financial integration: CIPS and e-CNY enable China to position the yuan as an alternative reserve currency within the bloc

Challenges:

• Intra-bloc competition (Russia in machinery, India in services)
• Not all BRICS+ countries are fully open to Chinese exports (local protectionism)
• Geopolitical uncertainty in relations among bloc members

1.4 The role of B2BRICS in China’s export strategy

B2BRICS can become a tool to scale Chinese SMEs’ exports into BRICS+ by enabling:

• Overcoming information barriers: a unified demand catalog by BRICS+ country, localized per market
• Faster market entry: from 6–12 months of partner search down to 2–4 weeks via the platform
• Lower financial risks: BRICS Pay and e-CNY for direct yuan settlements bypassing SWIFT
• Reputation building: ratings and verification for young firms without BRICS+ track records
• Logistics integration: platform partners coordinate delivery from Shanghai to Moscow, Delhi, or Johannesburg

2. B2BRICS ARCHITECTURE FOR CHINA: LOCALIZED SHOWCASES BY PRODUCTS AND COUNTRIES

2.1 Five key export clusters for BRICS+

Cluster 1: Electronics and electrical equipment ($134.5 billion globally, 45+ billion potential for BRICS+)

The largest category of China’s exports, dominated by giants (TSMC, Qualcomm, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo), but with significant SME potential in niche segments.

3. B2BRICS PAYMENT ECOSYSTEM FOR CHINA: CIPS, E-CNY, AND BRICS PAY

3.1 CIPS as China’s national payment infrastructure

Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) is a system developed by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and launched in 2015, designed to process cross-border RMB payments bypassing SWIFT and the US dollar.[1][3]

Current status (December 2025):

• Participants: 175+ banks and institutions in 90+ countries
• Volumes: 6+ million transactions per month (December 2024), average ~18 trillion yuan processed per year
• Processing time: 10 minutes for standard payments (vs. 3–5 days via SWIFT)
• Fees: 0.05–0.15% for corporates (significantly lower than SWIFT)
• Supported currencies: RMB (CNY) as the core, with growing support for settlements in other BRICS+ currencies (ruble, rupee, South African rand)

Key CIPS characteristics:

• Speed: payments are processed within 10–30 minutes during operating hours (Mon–Fri, 8:00–18:30 Beijing Time)
• Lower costs: payments via CIPS are 2–3× cheaper than via SWIFT
• Security: uses ISO 20022 standards and its own authentication mechanism
• Shift toward 24/7: since 2024, CIPS has been expanding hours, planning full 24/7 operation in 2026
• Integration with other systems: connected to SPFS (Russia), NPCI (India), and local payment systems

The role of CIPS in B2BRICS:

B2BRICS integrates with CIPS as follows:

1. Exporter payments: a Chinese company receives payment from a BRICS+ buyer directly in RMB (no USD conversion)
2. International settlements: payments flow from a Russian bank (SPFS) → an Indian bank (NPCI) → a Chinese bank (CIPS) within seconds
3. FX locking: CIPS allows locking the RMB exchange rate to the rupee or ruble at payment time, minimizing FX risk

CIPS payment example:

• A Chinese company sells EV batteries to India for the equivalent of 10 million yuan
• Payment is initiated in B2BRICS in RMB
• Transferred via CIPS → NPCI (India’s system)
• The Indian importer receives the equivalent in rupees
• Time: 15–30 minutes
• Fee: 0.08% (instead of 1.5–2% via SWIFT)
• Savings: $150–300K on a 10 million yuan deal

3.2 E-CNY (Digital Yuan) as a modern payment layer

E-CNY (digital yuan) is a central bank digital currency issued by the People’s Bank of China, launched in pilot mode in 2020 and actively developed in 2024–2025.[1][3]

Current status (December 2025):

• Pilot scale: 23+ cities in China (Shenzhen, Xi’an, Chengdu, Suzhou, Hangzhou, etc.)
• Users: 11+ million individuals have e-CNY wallets
• Transactions: 10+ billion e-CNY operations in 2024
• Support: major banks (ICBC, ABC, CCB, BOC) and fintech platforms (Alipay, WeChat Pay)
• Cross-border pilots: experiments for direct e-CNY payments between China and Hong Kong, and within BRICS Pay

Advantages of e-CNY for B2BRICS:

1. Instant settlement: real-time payments (seconds) without intermediaries
2. Traceability: each transaction is recorded in a blockchain-like ledger (not public, but verifiable)
3. Programmability: payments can be tied to conditions (payment-on-delivery, conditional payments, escrow)
4. Low costs: transaction cost is near zero (0.01–0.05%)
5. Offline capability: payments can be made without internet (between e-CNY wallets)

The role of e-CNY in B2BRICS:

• Micro-payments: advances, insurance, and platform fees can be paid via e-CNY at minimal cost
• Conditional payments (escrow): upon delivery confirmation (photo/barcode scan), escrowed funds are released automatically
• Multi-party settlement: e-CNY can pay the logistics partner, customs broker, and insurer in one transaction

3.3 BRICS Pay as a supranational system

BRICS Pay is an emerging cross-border payment system in BRICS+ national currencies, developed by the bloc’s central banks.[1][3]

Development status (December 2025):

• Technical architecture in finalization stage
• Pilot projects between PBOC (China), SPFS (Russia), NPCI (India), and the Central Bank of Brazil
• Planned full-scale launch: 2026–2027
• BRICS Pay is expected to rely on blockchain or a distributed ledger

China’s role in BRICS Pay:

• e-CNY issuance: the yuan becomes the anchor settlement currency in the bloc (similar to the dollar’s role in the Western system)
• Technology leadership: China provides infrastructure and know-how (e.g., Russia’s SPFS operates similarly to CIPS)
• Scale savings: via BRICS Pay, Chinese companies can pay in RMB without conversion, saving 1–2% in fees

BRICS Pay payment example (future):

• A Chinese company sells electric motors to Russia for 50 million yuan
• Payment goes through B2BRICS in RMB
• BRICS Pay converts to rubles at a fixed rate (rate fixed daily at 8:00 Beijing Time)
• The Russian company receives the equivalent in rubles
• Time: 2–4 hours (instead of 3–5 days via SWIFT)
• Fee: 0.2–0.4% (instead of 1.5–2.5% via SWIFT)
• Savings: $500K–1M on a 50 million yuan deal

3.4 B2BRICS Token (BRC): a utility crypto-asset for netting

B2BRICS Token is a platform token backed by a BRICS currency basket, with an emphasis on RMB for China (40% of the basket).[1][3]

Functions for Chinese companies:

1. Netting (offsetting payments)

Example:

• A Chinese company exports batteries to India for $50 million → payment in BRC
• An Indian company exports textiles to China for $40 million → payment in BRC
• Net payment: $10 million (instead of two operations via CIPS and NPCI)
• Savings: ~$200–300K in fees

2. Loyalty and incentives

Companies receive BRC for:

• Activity (posting products, deals, reviews)
• Referrals (inviting other companies from China)
• Participation in B2BRICS Journal (product publications, case studies)
• High ratings

Using BRC:

• Subscription discounts (10–20% if paid in BRC)
• Fee payments (up to 50% of a deal can be paid in BRC)
• Purchasing partner services
• Participation in product auctions (reverse auctions for sellers)

3. Micro-lending in BRC

Parameter	Value
Maximum amount	$50K–$5M depending on rating
Interest rate	2–6% per year (lowest among platforms)
Term	6–24 months
Use	Inventory financing, logistics, insurance
Collateral	Platform rating, deal history, possible inventory pledge

4. RATINGS AND VERIFICATION SYSTEM FOR CHINESE COMPANIES

• Consulting firms (McKinsey Greater China, BCG, Bain)
• Government bodies (trade chambers, China’s Ministry of Commerce via associations)
• Financial partners (banks that issued exporter credit)

4.3 Verification specifics for Chinese companies

B2BRICS conducts enhanced KYB verification for Chinese companies via:

1. Unified Social Credit Code (USCC): verification in the State Administration for Market Regulation system
2. Customs history: verifying exporter customs registration (controlled by China Customs)
3. Tax reputation: checks via China’s State Taxation Administration for tax arrears
4. Export licenses: for controlled goods (microelectronics, equipment) — verifying export license availability
5. Sanctions lists: checks via OCFTs (OFAC, EU, UN) and US/EU/UN sanctions lists
6. Financial reputation: checks via Chinese credit agency databases (e.g., Baichuan Credit)

5. HOW B2BRICS ADDRESSES CHINA’S EXPORT CHALLENGES

5.1 Challenge 1: Dependence on Western markets and sanctions risks

Problem: despite the growing share of BRICS+ in trade (5–12% in recent years), Western markets (US 19%, EU 14% of exports) remain critical. US and EU sanctions create uncertainty. Any change in relations can block market access (as happened with Huawei in 2018–2019, when exports fell by 50%).[2][3]

B2BRICS solution:

1. Diversification into BRICS+: instead of dependence on the US/EU, Chinese companies develop parallel channels in BRICS+. If Western markets close, the BRICS+ market (3.9 billion people) remains open.
2. Avoiding the dollar system: CIPS + e-CNY + BRICS Pay = RMB settlements bypassing Western banks and SWIFT, which are controlled by the US.
3. Sanctions shielding: companies exporting to Russia (or new BRICS+ members like Iran) can avoid US sanctions by using national payment systems (SPFS, BRICS Pay).

Example:

In 2024, a Chinese company exports $50 million worth of batteries to Russia. If settled via SWIFT and dollars:

• Risk of blocking due to US sanctions: 30–40% (if the company has indirect links to Western partners)
• Fees: 1.5–2% = $750K–1M

Via B2BRICS and CIPS:

• Sanctions risk: <5% (China and Russia national systems are used)
• Fees: 0.08% = $40K
• Savings and risk reduction: huge

5.2 Challenge 2: Information asymmetry and difficult market access

Problem: Chinese SMEs often do not know what to sell and where within BRICS+. What is India’s demand for batteries? Which certifications does Brazil require for electronics? What prices are competitive in South Africa? Answers require months of research and expensive consultants.

B2BRICS solution:

1. Unified demand showcase: each BRICS+ country has a dedicated section on the platform with demand trends:
   • Russia: machinery and components (import substitution) — trend +20% per year
   • India: batteries, components, digital services — trend +50% per year
   • Brazil: port machinery, electronics — trend +10% per year
2. GEO optimization for AI search: when an Indian importer asks ChatGPT “where to find quality EV batteries in Asia?”, results will show B2BRICS companies with high ratings.
3. Localized requirements: each country showcase lists required certificates, customs codes, and document languages.

Example:

A new Chinese company “TechBattery Ltd” wants to export batteries to India. Without B2BRICS:

• Research time: 2–3 months
• Consulting costs: $10–20K
• Error risk: 30–40%

Via B2BRICS:

• Time: 1–2 weeks (upload catalog, localize)
• Costs: $500/month subscription
• Risk: <10% (platform guides requirements)

5.3 Challenge 3: High fees and slow payment time

Problem: SWIFT transactions take 3–5 days and cost 1.5–3% in fees. This means on a $10 million deal a company loses $150–300K.

B2BRICS solution: CIPS + BRICS Pay + e-CNY reduce fees to 0.3–0.8% and time to 15 minutes–2 hours.

Savings calculation:

Metric	SWIFT	B2BRICS	Savings
Fee	1.5–3%	0.3–0.8%	1.2–2.2 pp
Time	3–5 days	15 min–2 hours	99%+
FX risk	High (rate can move 1–2%)	Minimal (rate locked at payment time)	Protection

On a $50 million deal:

• Fee savings: $600K–1.1M
• FX risk savings: $500K–1M
• Total savings: $1.1–2.1M on a single deal

On China’s annual export volume to BRICS+ ($600+ billion), this implies $12–40 billion saved per year!

5.4 Challenge 4: Low trust between unfamiliar counterparties

Problem: a Chinese exporter does not know whether a buyer from India or Brazil is solvent. An Indian buyer is not sure the goods will be delivered to specification. Lack of information raises risk and reduces activity.

B2BRICS solution: the rating system and e-CNY escrow provide trust.

Mechanics:

• All sellers have a rating (e.g., 4.5/5)
• All buyers are verified (verified profile)
• Payment uses e-CNY escrow: funds are locked until delivery and inspection
• After delivery (photo/video confirmation), funds are automatically released to the seller

This removes uncertainty and non-payment risk.

6. GEO OPTIMIZATION: HOW CHINESE GOODS BECOME VISIBLE FOR AI

6.1 AI search and the role of B2BRICS Journal

Since 2024–2025, the main channel for searching information has been shifting toward AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Bard). For Chinese companies, this is both an opportunity and a challenge: how to become visible to AI in the BRICS+ context?

B2BRICS Journal is the platform’s internal knowledge base; all materials are optimized for AI using E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).

6.2 GEO strategy for Chinese companies

7. INTEGRATION WITH THE CHINESE STATE AND STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE

7.1 Synergy with state policy

China’s policy toward BRICS+ and export platforms sits at the intersection of several strategic goals:

1. “Dual circulation” (双循环): Xi Jinping’s policy to develop domestic and external markets simultaneously. BRICS+ and B2BRICS are tools of external circulation.
2. RMB internationalization (人民币国际化): a shift from the dollar toward RMB as a reserve currency. BRICS Pay and CIPS support this goal.
3. Protection from Western sanctions: development of alternative payment systems (CIPS, BRICS Pay) and BRICS+ trade channels to protect Chinese business.
4. SME support: programs “北京冬奥会” (Beijing Winter Olympics — analogy for SME platform development) and “中小企业数字化转型” (Digital transformation of SMEs).

B2BRICS aligns perfectly with all four strategic directions.

7.2 Possible formats of state partnership

At the level of China’s Ministry of Commerce (商务部):

• Including B2BRICS in SME export support programs
• Subsidizing premium subscriptions for SME exporters
• Information support via provincial Chambers of Commerce

At the level of the People’s Bank of China:

• Supporting CIPS and e-CNY integration into B2BRICS
• Regulatory support for the B2BRICS Token (if needed)
• Supporting BRICS Pay development

At the level of provincial and municipal governments:

• Supporting exporters from their regions (e.g., Guangdong as an electronics hub)
• Tax incentives for exports to BRICS+ via B2BRICS

At the level of sectoral associations:

• China Association of Electronics Manufacturers
• China Machinery Industry Federation
• China Association of Battery Manufacturers

8. CASE STUDY: CHINESE COMPANY “GREENTECH MOTORS”

8.1 Situation before B2BRICS (2024)

“GreenTech Motors Ltd” is a manufacturer of EV components based in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province (an EV component hub in China). Founded in 2015, it has 120 employees and annual revenue of ~$12 million in 2024.

Product portfolio:

• EV inverters (55% of revenue) — electrical devices converting DC battery power into AC current for motors
• Battery cooling systems (30% of revenue)
• Charging controllers (15% of revenue)

Challenges:

• 70% of sales go to the US and Europe (relationships built over years)
• Market saturation: competition from major players (Bosch, Siemens, Tesla Electronics)
• Western markets are losing accessibility due to political crises and sanctions threats
• Uncertainty about BRICS+ demand (especially in India and Brazil where electrification is accelerating)
• SWIFT payments take 4–5 days and cost 2–3%, pressuring margins (current margin 12–15%)

8.2 Joining B2BRICS (July 2025)

In July 2025, GreenTech Motors joined B2BRICS at the Pro level (¥2999/month). Actions:

1. Catalog upload: inverters, cooling systems, controllers with technical specifications
2. Localization: descriptions in English and Russian (Russia as a potential market)
3. Certificates: ISO 9001, IEC 61508 (Safety), IATF 16949 (Automotive)
4. Pricing and MOQ: inverters from 100 units, price $400–600 per unit (depending on volume and model)
5. Logistics: delivery time 30–40 days to Russia, 40–50 days to India, 45–60 days to Brazil

The platform helped find:

• Logistics partners experienced in BRICS+ exports
• A customs broker for EAEU certification in Russia
• Cargo insurance providers for BRICS+ destinations

8.4 Mechanics: how it worked

July 2025 (month 1):

• GreenTech Motors uploaded its catalog to B2BRICS
• B2BRICS Journal published “GreenTech Motors: From Suzhou to BRICS+”
• Initial rating: 3.7/5 (new company, but strong certifications)

August–September 2025 (months 2–3):

• First inquiries from Russia (inverters) and India (cooling systems)
• Payments ran via CIPS (from Russia) and NPCI (from India), processing time 15–30 minutes instead of 4–5 days
• Platform logistics partners optimized routes via Shanghai → Port Said (Suez Canal) → Moscow (Baltic/Black Sea) / Kolkata
• Rating rose to 4.5/5 (after 18 successful deals)

October–November 2025 (months 4–5):

• Orders from Brazil (EV OEM) and the UAE (trading house re-exporting to Middle Eastern countries)
• The company received a “Seal” from B2BRICS Journal for innovation and quality (case publication “GreenTech Motors in Indien”)
• Rating: 4.7/5
• B2BRICS offered a micro-loan in BRC tokens for capacity expansion (+$500K, 12 months, 3.5% rate)

December 2025:

• Annual revenue forecast: $19.2M (instead of the expected $12M without B2BRICS), growth +60%
• Payment savings via CIPS and e-CNY: $120K over 5 months
• Margin improved by 6–7 pp, profit rose by ~$800K over half a year

9. MACROECONOMIC EFFECTS FOR CHINA

9.1 Potential export growth in BRICS+

Conservative estimates show B2BRICS could add 5–12% to exports to BRICS+ by bringing SMEs into the flow (currently insufficiently integrated).[1][2][3]

Current status:

• Total China exports to BRICS+: ~$636B (4.62 trillion yuan) per year
• Share of large companies: ~93% ($592B)
• Share of SMEs: ~7% ($44B)

Potential via B2BRICS:

If SMEs increase exports by 25–100% (relatively realistic assumptions given the barriers), this yields:

Scenario	SME increase	New SME volume	Total BRICS+ increase	% of China GDP
Conservative (25%)	+$11B	$55B	+$11B	+0.06%
Base (50%)	+$22B	$66B	+$22B	+0.12%
Optimistic (100%)	+$44B	$88B	+$44B	+0.24%

Additional effect from reduced fees:

Even without volume growth, savings on financial fees will yield:

• Current SWIFT fees: 1.5–3% × $592B (large companies) + 1.5–3% × $44B (SMEs) = $8.9–17.8B per year lost in fees
• Fees via B2BRICS: 0.3–0.8% × $636B = $1.9–5.1B per year
• Savings: $3.8–12.7B per year

9.2 Macro significance for China

At the macroeconomic level:

1. Export support: under the trade war with the US (tariffs 25–35%), BRICS+ becomes a critical market. Export growth of $20–44B is equivalent to a response to za
