** Welcome To The Choke Points **This video examines the 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, the first G20 meeting ever held on African soil, and explains how the United States boycott changed the dynamics of global leadership. South Africa hosted a summit that centred the interests of the Global South, adopted a 122-point declaration without the United States, and highlighted the growing divide inside global governance institutions.We also break down the positions of the leaders who did not attend, including the United States, China, Russia and Argentina, and analyse the long-term implications for global finance, debt reform, climate policy, critical minerals and the emerging multipolar world order. This episode provides a factual, data-driven overview of how the boycott reshaped the G20 and what it means for global power distribution.Chapters00:00 Chapter 1: The United States Boycott and Its Global Impact08:00 Chapter 2: Africa’s First G20 Summit and Its Strategic Importance16:00 Chapter 3: Key Themes from the 122-Point Johannesburg Declaration24:00 Chapter 4: The World Leaders Who Did Not Attend the Summit32:00 Chapter 5: What the Johannesburg Summit Means for Global Power#g20 #southafrica #globalgovernance #brics #geopolitics #thechokepoints #africa #multipolarity #debtcrisis #climatefinance #criticalminerals #thechokepoints #globalnews #worldpolitics #economy2025X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints
