Yes,just heard that shit-nugget too a few days ago-apparently Chinese didn't build the Great Wall-some sort of alien-indo-european-caucasoid unknown people built this Wall to keep out the Chinese from them....WTF???They've gone totally insane and this rant makes Gordon Chang seem sane.
Jaishankar always talks tough when in India but curls up when he has to deal with actual powers.
Indians are so amateurish. Yes, it's very likely they are out of the good graces of the Amerikkkans, but the speed at which they crawled back to China shows a huge lack of deftness in handling their own image. Had they waited a few months, sacrificed a little and slow walked back into recuperating China ties, they wouldn't come off so desperate on the global stage.
It just goes to say: Not all landlords are useless
And invites nuclear retaliation back from the United States
I guarantee you they weren't "invited to attend". What likely happened is, China didn't bother to take the initiative to invite them at all in the beginning and they pushed to get an invite and China was like "uhhh, sure I guess." Now, they're flaunting that they might not attend in order to appear self-important in a world that is materially rapidly diminishing their real importance. It's their typical MO.
