It's funny how Jai Hinds keep boasting about India's chess achievements (it's pretty lousy for a 1.4B country that puts so much effort into it while Armenia has only 3M people). Yet their leadership strategy and geopolitics play is rather bad. It seems tone-deaf and when other countries go against them, they somehow don't understand why.Two South Asian Neighbors, Once Friendly, Are Now at Bitter Odds
India and Bangladesh have traded angry accusations about Bangladesh’s Hindu minority.
Normally killings in these countries wouldn't be news worthy, but NYTimes reporting about it does make it interesting. Maybe India should have just stuck to aligning with one country all the way? Jai Hinds are turning on America now, not sure why since US interference in foreign countries is basically their MO.
I think Jai Hinds being loincloth imperialists, are emotionally hurt by US involvements in nearby countries. Look at China, the US interferes all the time in neighbouring countries e.g., Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar but the Chinese are still cool as a cucumber. This is one of the benefits of China's non-interference principle.
COPENHAGEN, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Lithuania declared three staff members of China's representative office in the country, a type of diplomatic mission, as personae non gratae, its foreign ministry said on Friday.
The ministry cited violations of the Vienna Convention and Lithuanian legislation as the cause, though no further details were provided. The 1961 Vienna Convention outlines the rules of diplomatic law.
The staff have been instructed to leave Lithuania within a week, the ministry said in a statement, exacerbating between the two countries.
China's representative office in Lithuania could not be immediately reached for comment.
China has already downgraded ties with Lithuania and pressured multinationals to links with the Baltic nation of 2.9 million people after it Taiwan to open a de facto embassy there in 2021.
In March, the chief of Lithuania's counter-intelligence said in this year's elections could not be ruled out due to the EU and NATO member's support for Taiwan.
In addition, a Chinese ship is of being involved in damage to two undersea cables recently, one of which runs between Sweden and Lithuania.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock will pay a visit to China from December 2 to 3 at the invitation of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Friday.
During the visit, Wang and Baerbock will co-chair the seventh round of the China-Germany Strategic Dialogue on Diplomacy and Security, the ministry said in a notice.
Above all else, chess was invented in ancient India, so how the hell it take them this long to finally get champions?It's funny how Jai Hinds keep boasting about India's chess achievements (it's pretty lousy for a 1.4B country that puts so much effort into it while Armenia has only 3M people).

And it will be right in the middle of Chinatown!Never underestimate the US!
