Recently, the topic of BRICS expansion has attracted widespread attention. In addition to Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and more than a dozen other countries showing strong interest in the BRICS group, the BRICS countries themselves are also attracting attention. This cooperation mechanism is composed of five countries, China, Russia, India, South Africa and Brazil, with a total population of nearly 40% of the world's total population. Among them, China, as the engine of global economic growth, has added a lot to the BRICS countries.
The BRICS lineup has been relatively stable since 2011 and has not changed. However, in this era of rising conservatism, increasing the number of partner countries can help expand their influence and better communicate their attitudes and ideas. This is not only a manifestation of solidarity and cooperation, but also a support for the unique strength of developing countries, so China firmly supports this expansion measure.
Last year, when China assumed the BRICS presidency, it proposed expansion, but India strongly opposed it at the time. Recently, however, India has changed its tune and expressed support for expansion, for a puzzling reason: fear of being squeezed out by China.
India's claims lack good reason. Despite the tensions between China and India over the border issue, as BRICS members, they should remain united. According to South Africa, 6 countries have submitted informal applications and another 13 countries are waiting in line to formally join. The fact that these countries are actively seeking to join shows that the influence of the BRICS group is growing.
According to US media reports, India may realize that expansion has become the trend of the times, so it changes its position. At the same time, this can also be interpreted as India's attempt to put China in a passive position. When China assumed the presidency last year, India not only opposed the expansion, but also blocked Pakistan's application for membership. However, ahead of this year's BRICS summit in South Africa, India unexpectedly expressed support for expansion, while also criticizing China in an allusional way.
In fact, India occupies an important position in the world, both in terms of population and economic size, and even if other countries join the BRICS, it will not crowd out India. If a country is really strong, no matter how it is squeezed out from the outside, it will not be affected much, as Russia's position among the Western countries is. However, India has become one of the biggest destabilizing factors in the world, so it should pay more attention to how to improve its own power and shoulder international responsibilities to win the trust of more countries.
India's attitude, while compelling, will not change the general trend of expansion. BRICS cooperation will continue to deepen, and China will continue to play an active role in the BRICS organization. As for India, if it wants to play a greater role in the international arena, it needs to be more determined to follow its own path and improve its strength, rather than highlighting its presence through opposition. Because only strength and trust can make a country speak in international affairs.
