Strengths and weaknesses

Comment on "BRICS looks at funding pool, money exchanges" (China Daily, June 20)

For BRICS, it is important that the member countries have comprehensive knowledge of each other's domestic economic characteristics and respective weaknesses.

Currently it appears that BRICS is going toward the right direction, but this cannot go on forever. It's possible that there will come a time when BRICS will suffer the same problems the European Union is facing now.

Can BRICS survive such a situation? That is the question the BRICS countries need to answer.
