BRICS countries will develop a cure for cancer and the west will ban it.

"In an authoritarian move, China has restricted cancer's God given freedom to grow, a chilling sign for investors."

"In a bid to strike out against American pharmaceutical companies, China disregards the international medical community by unilaterally developing a cure for cancer"
