The present article aims at analyzing the involvement of China in the BRICS as an instrument to achieve its foreign policies goals and the realization of the Chinese Dream proposed by the current President Xi Jinping. The Chinese Dream is a broad concept of a great national revival that emphasized the sense of unity of the nation and the return of the country to its natural state of glory under the communist party leadership. With the concept of the Chinese Dream, Xi seems to want overcome the dichotomy between domestic and external affairs as the Chinese participation through the BRICS reveals. In the first part, we will present an overview of the main objectives of the Chinese foreign policy, particularly from Xi Jinping’s era. Sequentially, these objectives will be discussed within the framework of the Chinese engagement in the BRICS in order to discuss the future of the group and its significance in the development of China as a global actorReferências
