China wants 'BRICS plus' to include 'friendly' countries, plan might hurt India's interests

  • China eager to include 'friendly' nations in 'BRICS plus,' an expansion of the current set up
  • Pro-Beijing countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Mexico might be asked to join, analysts feel
  • Move might result in dilution of role played by India and other countries in BRICS
Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar with China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi
BEIJING: China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has come up with the idea of extending the remit of BRICS by inviting other developing countries under a new banner, BRICS Plus.

Addressing his annual press conference on Wednesday on the sidelines of the National People's Congress, the Chinese parliament, Wang said China would "explore modalities for BRICS-plus, to hold outreach dialogues with other major developing countries".

"We hope to establish extensive partnerships and widen our circle of friends to turn it into the most impactful platform for South-South cooperation," he said. China, which is the rotating president of BRICS this year, will host the next summit in September.

Analysts said China is trying to expand its influence by inviting its allies, and the move might result in the dilution of role played by India and other countries in BRICS. The club has five countries-Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

"India would be the worst affected among BRICS partners. After expansion, the organization would lose its focus and coherence on development issues and become more like a political platform for China," Mohan Malik, professor at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies at Honolulu in US, told TNN.

China may invite pro-Beijing countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Mexico to join, Malik said. China may be trying to turn BRICS into a China centric organization along the lines of Shanghai Cooperation Organization, he said.

"At the 2016 BRICS summit in Goa, Beijing was successful in thwarting India's attempts to isolate and condemn its ally Pakistan over cross-border terrorism," Malik pointed out. "The BRICS Plus concept would nip in the bud any future attempts at isolating China and its friends," he said.

The Chinese foreign minister said China's goal is to strengthen the BRICS partnership. It planned to introduce a system of stand-alone meeting of foreign ministers, hold sports and cultural events among BRICS countries.

"As President Xi put it, BRICS are like five fingers each with their own strength but when we come together we are a fist that can punch. When we stay united we won't lose lustre but will shine more brightly," he said.

The premier said that, "BRICS countries represent emerging economies," he said. "Over the years, their fortunes may have risen or fallen, and each faces challenges."

Analysts said China might find it difficult to obtain India's approval to the idea of BRICS Plus.

"India surely will not be interested in expansion at this time," Swaran Singh, professor at at the School of International Studies in Jawaharlal Nehru University told TNN. "BRICS will be focussed on consolidating at this time," he said pointing to political instability in Brazil, economic slowdown in South Africa, and difficult relationship between India and China. Singh said India would avoid taking any decisive political positions because it is still analyzing the Donald Trump presidency in the U.S.

One of China's goals is to extend the One Belt One Road to countries like India which has been reluctant to participate enthusiastically. Beijing is holding a forum on the Silk Road program in May.

"With protectionism and unilateralism on the rise, the Belt and Road will find common cause where all countries roll up their sleeves and pitch in together. We will help rebalance globalisation," Wang said.

Bangladesh? More likely than than Vietnam. When Pakistan and Vietnam are recipients of aid, Bangladesh is also an aid donor like Brazil, China & India (to a small extent though). It has reasonable foreign reserves & exports (at least compared to size of economy but it still needs years to be there).
I find your remarks regarding Bangladesh as a donor and Pakistan as a mere recepient quite amusing.
Pakstan has donated more than half a billion to Afghanistan and pledged equal amount for near future which was rejected by Ghani. Furthermore Palestine and Ghaza regularly receive aid, usually in the form of salaries of govt employees and other humanitarian relief.

Pakistan is also the largest donor of wheat to the UN food program.

But none of this matter, addition to an economic block doesn't depend on how much a country donates. India was one of largest recipient of foreign aid when she joined BRICS. UK, despite officially ending the aid program continues to aid India.

Quite a nice way of keeping foreign relations.

Not really, Bangladesh has changed from beneficiary to donor very recently.

We care about what you are doing. Alone Afghanistan can't represent the mission.

Afghanistan is strategically dynamic & unstable country and it's instability is lethal for others. You will be aiding it even if you were Nepal.
Furthermore Palestine and Ghaza regularly receive aid, usually in the form of salaries of govt employees and other humanitarian relief.

Much on UN commitment.
Second, you are net recipient, not net donor.
But none of this matter, addition to an economic block doesn't depend on how much a country donates.
Off course, it just represents a part other than debt you give & foreign investments.

Totally false! :mad::frusty:
India's aid budget itself dwarfs UK's!

Seems that living in UK, britards again brainwashed you.
So, show me the official link of Indian Annual budget which displays any type of foreign aid. I know you can't.

Indian Government never received any aid.
UK illegally & unofficially funds NGOs (Non government organizations) like Amnesty International, Greenpeace India & so called freedom fighters planted by west themselves to halt industrial & governmental stability of India.

What if we start funding BLA & TTP and say that we are are aiding Pakistan? Will you believe it?
India's Annual Budget reaches $700 billions & look what these brits are taught at schools that how they changed India's fate by funding a few millions to separatist group.
Have fun on this thread!

British aid to India is nothing but a hoax,

A rumour spread by British media to hide their inferiority complex by giving credit of India's every achievemnet to UK by spreading false news so that they can sleep tight at night.
They are most ignorant & dumbest people on planet.

The geopolitical climate around the globe is changing and its changing fast. Political clout has once again the priority over economic clout hence China is politicizing the BRICS.
There are no economic gains for countries like Pakistan or Srilanka by joining the BRICS.
So there are so many forums are there. It is not possible to include any country in any forum. You can not give US a membership in sarcc or India can not be the member of European union or Arab league or Islamic assosiation.

Yes because China is paying for everything as it is. Pakistan and Sri Lanka won't get anything extra from joining BRICS. Either ways, they can join if they have a big enough economy. GDP of just Mumbai last year was around 6billion usd more than that of entire Pakistan.

China wants this, China wants that, China doesn't like this, China bla bla bla bla.

China SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Their Economy is going down, Most of their unelected leaders are corrupt (Panama leaks) and a shit load of debt piling up. And what does a Communist party do when faced with such crises? Brainwash the people into thinking everyone is out to get them, create new enemies.

Xi is desperate to keep his political position if his countries economy keep falling he knows he will be replaced, if you haven't noticed everything in Chinese media are trying to spread propaganda, fugged numbers to make it look like nothing has happened.

NDTV defence editor Vishnu Som hit hard and asked several uncomfortable questions to Liu Xin, co-anchor, CGTN and her Chinese teams regarding Doklam at a special BRICS anchoring show in Beijing. I was fortunate to be able to watch the full show on NDTV on Sep 1. You should watch the Chinese faces. They were not really prepared for the sudden bombardment from Vishnu sir and were like speechless. Thank Vishnu Sir.
