Everything you said doesn't matter. It's for an imaginary future but we are faced with a present challenge, which is America trying to drain the world's power into itself so it can fight China. If we don't beat this right now, we will have no future to plan for. So Always work against your enemy. If America wants to drain India, prevent it by protecting India. This is exactly what China is doing now because they agree with me and disagree with you. Chinese leaders understand to always work against your main enemy's and never get distracted by clown countries. India doesn't matter. Stronger or weaker, friendly or hostile, they are self-limiting. America matters. This is what we need to defeat RIGHT NOW. There is no future if you do not win NOW.Not all vassal you should think like this. Weather US can vassalize India or not india still act the same. The same goes with Philippines and Japan.
Kicking or not india will still find a chance to attack china no matter how they are weak or strong. It's not maybe but it is 100%. Your strategy is right for other vassals but not India, Philippines Japan and I even think Vietnam as well. Those countries are long term enemies even US loss hegemony.
There is nothing special about Philippines, Japan, Vietnam. They are small countries that must foster good relations with the superpower in the area. You are missing the big picture because of what they do as American vassals. When America is down, they will all mellow and bend the knee to China. India is larger and has ambitions of its own but it's a future issue that cannot be prioritized over current issues.
Your problem is that you are so scared of a future Indian challenge that you are overlooking the present American challenge. You are so scared of India that you are about to bolster America, China's main enemy, instead. It's fear that blinds you to strategy.
