China is already part of the UNSC, so it is an irrelevant point.Why does UNSC need China today?
You cannot just replace the word China with India since the circumstances and dynamics in which the UNSC and the P5 came about in the aftermath of World War 2 do not exist currently.Now flash forward 15 years, replace the word 'China' with 'India' and Bingo! you have your answer.
I cannot comment about other countries honestly.
Those nations still have a voice through rotating membership and direct diplomatic contacts with other nations, and are obligated to implement binding UNSC resolutions regardless of whether they are on the UNSC or not.It changes in that the nations who are the biggest supporters of UN efforts (India etc.) worldwide get a voice on the biggest international platform available.
This is not an example of a tangible benefit, by virtue of having India as a permanent member, for the UNSC.
India herself is insistent upon permanent membership with veto.I myself do not think India needs veto power. It is a 'bekaar ka sardard' anyways. India's prime concern is to be heard at the international stage and to be recognised as an international power in accordance with its status.
