LOL Vonu - I thought about that at the time so share your surprise! I guess I was thinking that Big Brother China had welcomed Russia a while ago as they get to be buddies in the open.
China is the "C" in BRICS, another founding member.
Since you seem to be a bit reality compromised, BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It will become BRICS 11 the first of the year and encompass countries that control 80% of the oil reserves on the planet, making the petrodollar quiver.
Uh, the "R" in BRICS is Russia, so why would they need to be welcomed into what they helped found?

Very true, Thanks Vonu. I know what BRICS stands for and my Chinese readers keep me up-to-date on the trends there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ1QUTFExJk
