India likely to enter missile tech control regime this week

SCO is primarily a security organization not an economic one, even if the members may shy away from overtly stating it.

Irrespective of Russian economic woes, Russia is the lead military power in SCO. Most of the members of SCO are members of CIS & CSTO. Do you think SCO would survive without Russia?

China could choose to either freeze SCO or expand it by coordinating the decisions with Russia. China was prudent enough and selected the latter.

Bringing India into SCO would open up more opportunities for other countries in Indian subcontinent to be members of SCO.

Note that there is hardly any scope for SCO in SCS. The opportunities for growth of SCO lie in Central and South Asia.

Bring these countries into the orbit of SCO would ensure that the western borders of China are secured and would provide more space for China to concentrate in SCS.

The crux of the matter here is, that of Chinese nod to let India enter SCO, which India will.

2050 projection, only 3 countries are poised gracefully on the pedestal viz; US, China & India.
Thats when India would count Internationally, a force to be reckoned with.
Till then, India is jogging.

Of course China is ahead of India in this game but let's not forget that, being a King is not about having a title. You need to have a territory and people to provide legitimacy to that title. That is where Russia and India come in.

Why do you think China is building SCO, BRICS & AIIB when it could have bilateral engagements with countries like Pakistan, Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan etc.? To be recognized as a leader, you need to demonstrate that you are a team player and worthy of being the leader.

Once India enters MTCR, India would be even with China.

If China continues to thwart India's NSG membership India could thwart China's MTCR membership.

Just see how quickly China would drop Pakistan's NSG membership excuse ...

And that's the plan exactly... We will show how it's done with a new one
