However, according to observers, since the "Outstanding Leader" Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, the People's Republic has again taken steps backwards in social and economic freedom and has become increasingly ideologically and internationally aggressive.

The People's Republic of China is the world's largest exporter, the second largest importer, the country with the largest industrial production, the second highest spending on research and development, the second largest total national wealth, the largest standing army and the second largest defense budget and, depending on the source, is considered an emerging or already established country Superpower of the 21st century alongside the United States.

Myanmar or Burma, is a country in Southeast Asia bordering Thailand, Laos, the People's Republic of China, northeastern India, Bangladesh and the Bay of Bengal.

The country has no longer been part of the Empire of British India since 1948 and has therefore been independent of the United Kingdom ever since. The country has been under de facto military rule since 1962, which only had some democratic elements from 2011 to 2021. In a coup on February 1, 2021, the military took back all state power. As a result, a civil war broke out in the country between the military-dominated State Administration Council (SAC) and the opposition National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG). By 2023, the military had lost control of large parts of the country.

The military government rules in an authoritarian manner and there are numerous human rights violations. In the democracy index, Myanmar was in second to last place worldwide in 2021 and 2022, behind North Korea and only ahead of Afghanistan.

Republic of South Africa - Siyahamba

South Africa is a country in southern Africa. It is the most developed economic area on the African continent.

There are three capitals: the government is in Pretoria, the parliament in Cape Town and the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein. The largest metropolises in terms of population (as metropolitan municipalities) are Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. English is the country's lingua franca, but the most widely spoken language is isiZulu, followed by isiXhosa. In addition, Afrikaans and seven other Bantu languages ​​are official languages ​​of the country.

South Africa is the only African country to be one of the G20 economic powers and is counted among the nine BRICS countries. The seat of the African Union Parliament is in Johannesburg-Midrand. South Africa is one of the founding members of the United Nations and also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

The Republic of South Africa is a culturally diverse state in which people of several ethnicities live and which is often referred to as the “rainbow nation” due to this diversity. Since the various population groups did not always live side by side without conflict, complex problems and unrest over the course of history strained the relationship, for example between the non-European majority population and the European-born ("white") immigrants and their descendants born in the country, but also between different nationalities within these groups defined during apartheid, with serious effects on the history and politics of the country. The Khoisan indigenous population, some of which still live as foragers, is largely marginalized today.

As a result of its election victory in 1948, the Nasional Party, a party of Afrikaans-speaking people of European descent - mostly of Dutch, but also of German or French descent - reshaped all areas of South African society according to the programmatic principle of "separate development" that it represented. However, this development had already begun under the state governments that were both British and Boer-oriented and was officially declared state policy until shortly after the election of the moderate and understanding President Frederik Willem de Klerk. The change in politics began in 1990. It was a consequence of years of struggle by the disadvantaged majority of the population under political leaders such as Nelson Mandela and was largely peaceful. The 1994 elections in South Africa brought equal voting rights for all citizens for the first time and fundamentally changed political life in the country.

The state is one of the few states in Africa in which non-European official languages ​​are given such great freedom and there has not yet been a coup. Free and secret elections, although only with preference for the white population, have been held since the 19th century. The state's economy is the most developed on the entire African continent.

India borders Pakistan, the Chinese Tibet Autonomous Region, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Other neighboring countries in the Indian Ocean are Sri Lanka and the Maldives. In terms of land area, India is the seventh largest country in the world. With around 1.426 billion inhabitants, India has been the most populous country in the world since April 2023, ahead of the People's Republic of China and therefore the most populous democracy in the world. Due to increasing modernization, education, prosperity and urbanization, the birth rate has been falling since the early 1980s.

The Federal Republic of India is made up of 28 states and eight federal territories. The capital is New Delhi, part of the Delhi metropolis. The most populous city and also the economic and financial center is Mumbai. Other metropolitan areas include Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Pune.

The territory of India has been civilized at least since the Bronze Age Indus Civilization. Since its independence from the United Kingdom and the British Empire in 1947, it has been a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, initially as an empire with the British monarch as Emperor of India, and since 1950 as a democratic and secular republic. Since then, India's political system has been based on a parliamentary republic modeled on the British Westminster system.

Despite constitutional freedom of religion, Indian society is dominated by a religiously hierarchical caste system. By far the largest religious group is Hindus, followed by Muslims, Christians, and the Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains, who historically originate from India. The United Nations Development Program ranks India among the countries with medium human development. In the 2021 Human Development Index, India ranked 132nd out of 191 countries worldwide.

Economically, India is considered an emerging market. It belongs to the O5 and BRICS countries and to the Group of Twenty (G20). Despite its low per capita income and wealth, in some cases severe poverty, high unemployment, and pronounced income inequality, India is the third and sixth largest economies in the world (adjusted for purchasing power and in nominal terms), respectively, due to its large population. In 2015, the country was the fastest-growing economy in the G20 for the first time, has developed into a center for information technology and services, and boasts a steadily growing middle class and one of the world's largest software industries.

Hindu nationalist politician Narendra Modi has been Prime Minister of India since 2014. Since then, critics have increasingly criticized his authoritarian tendencies and the restriction of minority rights.
