Some hopeful Indians see a BRICS bank as a way to channel China’s surplus funds – as well as its expertise and experience – to such investments (especially railways), as well as to strengthen Sino-Indian ties. But, given the two countries’ many serious bilateral problems, will either government really want to bind itself so closely to the other?
但协调金砖国家的利益是一个层次远远更深的问题。就拿印度来说吧。它需要大规模基础设施投资，这一点在最新公布的2013—2014年预算中显露无疑。一些满怀希望的印度人将金砖国家开发银行视为引入中国富余资金——及其专业和经验——投向这些项目（特别是铁路）并加强中印关系的办法。但中印之间存在许多严重的双边问题，双方政府真的愿意与对方紧密相联吗？
