3. This point is naive, but I will let you get away with it, because it is a little bit tricky. The West KNOWS that India will never be able to approach even one third of China's level. Even Indian elites knows this. However, this is exactly why they will have a peace of mind to prop up India to challenge China. All of today's surviving civilizations are advanced civilizations with a lot of history and advanced school of thoughts. They are anything but short-sighted. If India is on a course to be as powerful as China, the West will NEVER prop up India. Because this method of "solving the China problem" will simply create a more troublesome "India problem" later on. The West (or any other civilizations) ONLY make such mistakes under 2 circumstances:
1. Their entire population are put under a strong momentum for a short-sight populist mindset in which they can't stop.
2. They grossly underestimated the potentials and capabilities of the weaker party.
Therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE for the west to be fooled and overestimate India, AND help India against China. Those two does NOT logically go together. The West will NOT help India to become another China that will simply challenge them even more in the future.
4. This point is non-sensical and pointless. Again, the West is NOT stupid, nor are they so primitive that they don't have their own metrics and method of assessing such matter. ESPECIALLY when such matter is directly linked with profit. Trust me, when it comes to profit, the West is as shrewd as humanly possible. Companies are NEVER fooled. They do things because they have to do it. They are always on a course of expansion, this does NOT mean that they are fooled by India. They WILL try to open factory in India regardless of what Indian government says. Of course, it is better if the Indian government welcomes them with sweet talks, because this means that the cost of such expansion is less. Your narrative is making a very complex matter incorrectly simple. This will only mislead your readers.
Your long and confusing criticism about my statements about the great Indian con job is very narrow minded. I just have to respond to this.
Your entire argument is that because I over simplify the complexities of statecraft and geopolitics, so I am spreading naive propaganda? Its not an oversimplication. Its the truth! Its happening! You narrow things down to the context of govt-govt relations, statecraft, and geopolitics. Like its some sort of Game of Thrones drama. Let me tell you one thing, my entire statement about the Indian con of the century goes beyond statecraft and geopolitics! This is about the everything: govt, people, culture, economy, justice, and lives!
Off course every government is trying to play the game, to maneuver themselves to positions of advantage! If you think I know nothing about governments doing their geopolitical maneuvering, espionage, and those kinds of stuff. Then I'm sorry, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think I know not of the Western manipulation of India to cause China trouble? If you've read my posts some time ago about India's signing of BECA with the US. You would know that. US and India conning each other to fight China for their benefit. This is a scam alliance where both parties are pushing each other to go first.
Put aside good honest Indians who are doing good work. Have you ever experienced, being on the receiving end of getting conned by some bad Indian? Have you ever studied the patterns of how these bad Indians work? How they know how to push the right buttons to get what they want? Have you seen how prevalent they are in the Indian government, politics, businesses, media, intellectuals, and in their upper society? I wrote that post to bash these bad Indians. You think that just because I gave them credit for being able to actually con the world, that I'm praising them? Don't you know sarcasm?
Disagree with my post all you like. You can think its all just a big Game of Thrones. But just look at what India had done and tell me that its actually just nothing but naive anti-Indian propaganda:
1) GM bought into the false hype of the Indian market and lost big time.
2) Mukesh Ambani's Jio 5G is a scam. Go research it.
3) Make In India. A colossal failure.
4) Through distorted Indian propaganda. India and China came quite close to war on the border in 2020. And are now in a Cold War.
5) BJP India committed a comedy of errors leading to the India we see now in 2020. Covid-19, economic crisis, cosmetic alliances, alienation of old friend Russia, hostile neighbours, and broken promises. The Indian con job was so effective, it worked even on themselves.
You don't need to know the intricacies of geopolitics to see what is happening in this world. You sound just like a Political Science student trying to squeeze everything into a Pollical Science hole. Think deeper!
