Exclusive-BRICS: A Fairy Tale Until China and India Prioritize, According to ‘Mr BRICS’ – U.S. News & World Report
In an exclusive interview with U.S. News & World Report, the self-proclaimed “Mr. BRICS” has raised concerns about the future of the BRICS alliance, stating that it is nothing more than a fantasy until China and India take their commitments seriously.
BRICS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, was established in 2006 as an economic bloc representing some of the world’s largest emerging markets. However, according to “Mr. BRICS,” the alliance has failed to live up to its potential due to the lack of commitment from China and India.
“China and India are the powerhouses of the BRICS alliance, yet they have not been pulling their weight,” Mr. BRICS said in the interview. “Until they start taking their responsibilities seriously, BRICS will remain nothing more than a fairy tale.”
The comments from “Mr. BRICS” come at a time when tensions between China and India are high, with both countries engaged in a bitter border dispute. The lack of cooperation between the two nations has raised doubts about the future of the BRICS alliance and its ability to effectively address global challenges.
Despite the challenges facing the alliance, Mr. BRICS remains optimistic about its potential. “BRICS has the potential to be a powerful force for change in the world, but only if its members are willing to work together towards common goals,” he said.
As the world continues to grapple with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic uncertainty, the future of the BRICS alliance remains uncertain. It is clear that China and India will need to address their differences and commit to working together if BRICS is to fulfill its promise of being a global economic powerhouse.
