Look at this Samir Saran. He talks like the world can ignore China. He talks like India is leading the world from a Western dominated world when he's literally begging for attention for India from the EU. "Stop your addiction to China, Europe, and be addicted to India instead." All it says is how India needs the West and they're out of touch with the Global South. The Global South overwhelmingly supports Palestinians in Gaza not Israel like India does. Yeah when talking about combined economic power in the non Western world he uncomfortably includes China because it's a joke to claim India is driving the economic engine of the rest of the world.
Pathetic.
Indians think that just because some western economist compared India to China, and since they have comparable populations, then India is going to become the next China, and therefore westerners ought to frontload their respect and awe that they have for China, towards India.Pure loincloth imperialism. Yes, i'm sure europeans prefer to replace hardworking prosocial Chinese who eventually return to China with a faeces ridden hindutva version of the 'islamo-fascist welfare queens' that plague the imaginations of many europeans.
If you want to know what a WW3 looks like in a post cold war, post MAD, post war on terror era, then look no further than current events. Non official cover, "sardaukar in harkonnen livery", NATO soldiers rebranded as mercenaries fighting in ukraine to kill russians, to Russians kicking out NATO in africa, to NATO-French-CIA retaliating by attacking Russian mercenaries in Africa and sending POWs to ukraine.
This is typical of a bully who pushes you and pushes you and i hate to say it but Russia is forced to do this because unlike China, it doesnt have anything between military units/army to strategic nuclear weapons. China on the other hand, knows how to deal with greyzone warfare; the PLA via the PVA were the original "sardaukar in harkonnen livery" in Korea and its gargantuan Coast Guard ships dwarf whatever the USNavy wants to send forth as a show for its mail order brides in the Philipinnes (strangely, that US Coast Guard ship was missing when a filipino lost his finger).
