Wow, great insight from the article. China is the bread and butter of the BRICS. Without China, this institution is irrelevant and non-functional. It's similar to NATO being obsolete without the US.

Wow, great insight from the article. China is the bread and butter of the BRICS. Without China, this institution is irrelevant and non-functional. It's similar to NATO being obsolete without the US.

No surprise here at all.

The part in bold from the article sums up the India part.

"Following the recent border skirmish, India can probably do without China. India's main trading partners are the U.S. and United Arab Emirates. But if you include Hong Kong with China, then China is No. 2. More importantly, India's imports are heavily dependent on the Chinese. Some $59 billion worth of Chinese imports moved into India in 2015, more than the No. 2 Sweden and No. 3 U.S. combined. Bilateral trade volume between China and India also rose by 21.5% year-on-year to $47.52 billion between January and July 2017, Indian customs data show."
