After the world has seen the abuse of economical power by western countries, will we see countries like India, African countries, South America etc. switching at least partially to alternatives like Chinese/Homemade systems?

Because it is pretty clear now that going against western interests can take a very heavy toll on your country’s economy and even stuff that has been integrated to daily life like Social Media or payment platforms are not safe.

I’d wait and see what the fallout in Russia from being kicked off SWIFT is, the nature of the adaptations they have to make, etc

No because each zone of influence would have to be contested militarily.

Mali is going to be the site of civil war literally any day now, and NATO will be boots on the ground in minutes imo

I doubt it. It’s not like those countries didn’t know the west was a giant bully before last week. If.it were financially and politically feasible for them to do so the would have done so already.
