Facing US bullying, there are differences within the BRICS+ grouping. China's position has not been accepted, and India speaks out against it again?

In the face of the United States using tariffs as a weapon to bully the world, the BRICS+ summit was held. It is reported that at the summit, all countries condemned the United States for its unreasonable use of tariff sticks to restrict global development. The declaration issued after the meeting of the BRICS+ emphasized that "unreasonable unilateral protectionist measures are inconsistent with the rules of the World Trade Organization." Although the BRICS+ countries have maintained consistency on core issues, differences still appeared on some key issues, leading to their failure to reach an agreement.

Finally, the BRICS+ countries did not issue a joint statement but instead used a chairman's statement. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi "requested more stringent wording," but this reasonable request was rejected by some countries. It is reported that the country that caused the BRICS+ countries to fail to reach an agreement is India. India has repeatedly cast dissenting votes at BRICS meetings and SCO meetings, preventing the corresponding consensus agreements from being reached. The US side released a message saying that the US-India tariff agreement is about to be reached.

This means that India has decided to submit to the United States and is therefore unwilling to issue a statement severely criticizing the United States. India has been wavering between the East and the West, taking advantage of its unique position to profit from both sides. The core reason why India disagrees with the joint statement, especially China's serious stance, is to gain benefits in the US tariff war, especially the US-China tariff war. In short, India wants to take advantage of the situation to get benefits from both China and the United States. Although the United States is now wooing India and giving India relatively low tariffs, India's speculative mentality will eventually lead to great losses.
