Offend Japan? Modi has gotten his priorities wrong yet again. Who is more important for India's future? China or Japan? If Modi is as predicted, too afraid to embrace this truth, then nothing meaningful is gonna happen for India in the foreseeable future. Off course, India is only begining to build trust with China. But whose fault was that to destroy this trust? It wasn't China's fault, that's for sure.

It is my opinion that India will never truly fulfill any of it's potential as long as Modi and the same old elites are in charge. All this realignment with China is just theater for the Americans to watch and squirm for awhile. Then Modi will one day go to the US and capitulate. And then it's back to business as usual.

Absolutely well said! One of the good comments here that say things as it is and not trying to making everything sound nice for no good reason.

I seriously do not see this india-china thing gonna last at all. It's clearly very pretentious and india are still very egoistic, delusional and stubborn in many areas, "bu zhi tian gao di hou" if I may say so. It is seriously so frustrating to watch us needing to drag these burdens along when it is a good time to actually isoate india especially when US kicks them to a corner, which we could use it to our advantage. They still hold our south tibet based on nothing but the reprehensible legacy that comes from the british colonial invasions.

Also if anything, russia dragging india into SCO should make us more wary of Russia too as they showed that they are willing to put their short term self interest at the intersection of our relations, there is so much more I have to say about them but I will hold for now. Not that I want Modi to attend our parade, but explaining his deliberate attention seeking move as "not wanting to piss off japan" is a load of shit. Remember that even Japan's ex-PM attended the parade as well. They simply just think they are very special breed and vastly overestimated their worth which is quite laughable, and ironically, they are too dumb to actually realise that such move only shows to the world time and time again that they are very sly people that never holds their end of the bargain, and they will flip flop their stance regardless of joining an organisation or claims to want to improve relations. This is why no one is actually surprised, but they will still shamelessly ask with a thick skin "why no one are allied with us or support us?"

And what serious relations do they have with japan? They are just a purchaser of japan's high speed rail at high prices like they buy rafale, and one of the minions of quad that we know will not go anywhere.

Besides being the only 2 countries in the world that needs to have a "women's only" train carriages for their society to function, I cannot find anything similar about them that can forge any close relationship or cooperation. The reality is Japan will just treat them as a money making market and nothing more serious beyond that.

It's a hugely flawed assumption to think a foreign company would ever be allowed to become profitable in India. The government and courts have proven they will come after you and seize all your profits.

If China throws as much funding at biotech and medicine as at chips, then immortality for all?

This was probably taken out of context, keep in mind this was immediately before Xi and the other leaders went up the rostrum and met with the WWII veterans, who were all 90-100 years old. They could have been talking about how they were about to meet them and how old they were before the conversation went in the direction you see in the clip. And Xi didn't even say anything too weird, it was Putin who brought up the organ topic.

Hopefully Trump will de-SWIFT India. So the final impediment to a BRICS transaction system will be removed.

He did watch it. A win for China, to be honest. By far the most prized audience for state-level messaging are the leaders of other nations.

It's very possible that the Indian guy isn't gay though. It's very common for heterosexual males to become sexually attracted to other males when heterosexual sex isn't available. If it's somewhere else I probably won't bother saying this but this is a military forum, and this fact is very relevant to military and therefore I believe is interesting info for people here. In many cases, military service is a circumstance where there are a lot of males who don't have access to heterosexual sex. Indecent homosexual activities as a result of this is a recurring problem that all militaries around the world need to deal with. A sidenote: male prostitutes in underdeveloped economies like India are also very often not gay.

NO it's called bisexual. That Indian dude is a bisexual rapist.

Putin later clarified that this idea was from former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi. regardless it is more about how well person function at any age than the age.

“Modern means—both health improvement and medical means, and even all kinds of surgical means related to organ replacement—allow humanity to hope that active life will continue not as it does today—although the average age in different countries is different, but nevertheless—life expectancy will increase significantly,” Vladimir Putin answered diplomatically.

Actually for me, what is more noteworthy is the attitude taken by comments. Basically they are mostly negative and criticize Putin and Xi as being comic book villains or scared of death or delusional and hoping for something that is impossible. I thought the comments similar to the "It's impossible, they can't do it" or "at what cost" stance taken whenever there is some megaproject by China or some pushing of the frontier like some new space mission. Rather than thinking about whether some expansion of humanity's ability or experience might be possible, it seems a reflexive closing of the mind, much like the naysayers in the late 1800's and early 1900's right before the start of powered flight.

Of course there is also the disbelief that any such advance would become widespread instead of being hoarded by oligarchs. Again, similar to how some skeptics in the early 1900's scoffed at the idea of widespread air travel and thought it would forever remain too expensive and only the niche hobby of a few rich tycoons.

Japan has much deeper industrial relationship with India. the largest share in Auto and they are still expanding in two wheelers. I am not sure how accurate is but JICA that is Japan government agency expect 790K IT personal shortage. they already employing people from Bangladesh.

Unlike Bangladesh, Japan is beset by population aging and a severe shortage of IT workers. According to a study published by METI in 2019, the shortfall of such workers in Japan could reach as high as 790,000 by 2030. This has raised serious concerns about delays in the development of IT services and potential risks to information security.
