SCO charter not having provisions to suspend or expel a member is not unique, NATO does not have such prvisions either. But that does not prohibit de facto suspension and expolsion. Such kind of treaty is merely lack of a written procedure for doing so. It is like a contract lacking provison of disbute resolvment. But once members determin that a member failed to fulfill its obligation, they can stop fulfilling their contract terms toward that memember, effectly terminating the contract, equal to a suspension. Nothing prevent other members to go further by officially expel the violating member on the ground that it breaks the contract. It will look ugly, but no more uglier than following an expulsion protocal.

It's a wrong question approach. The real Q should be. "Who can have more excess consumption that can soak up Indian manufacturing?"
Aye, the Indian domestic market was supposed to do that the way the Chinese domestic market is now doing for China, but the Indian convergence of casteism and neoliberal ideology is going to put paid to that notion.

The Global South is not looking towards India. The Indians are like the West where they put out their wishes as fact. Remember the earthquake in Nepal. India sent their spoiled and rotten food as aid. Russia isn't taking rupees for oil because what can you buy from India with rupees. You can buy a lot of things with the yuan. The Global South will find the same problems that Russia sees.
Yes India does what India does best... looking out for only their own interests being a fence sitter. Problem is India doesn't have money for others to lead anything or they would've done better than sending its spoiled and rotten food for only Nepal after the earthquake. The Global South is sick of the West and all India is going to do is steer them right back at them. No propaganda by China needed to which the West charges why the Global South is turning on them. Just look at all the YouTube videos from countries criticizing the West have one common complaint about the West. The West treats them like they were children and like they are their parents, the West gets to decide for them the right course of action because they're not capable of making the correct decisions on their own. It's not Western imperialism. It's them being loving parents. That's the difference.
India doesn't have manufacturing. They barely have assembling.
Bruneian seafood and fruit will be shipped to Qinzhou, while fruit and vegetables from Guangxi Zhuang are expected to be transhipped in Muara. It takes just seven days for cargo to reach Qinzhou from Muara, and five days in the other direction. Previously, it took 10 days to a month and at least two weeks in the opposite direction.
Again, this is not a proposition the west can win due to geopolitics and domestic politics. So china can continue to present itself as friend of Muslim countries. Good transaction.
