3) Make In India. A colossal failure.
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!
Calm down, no need to be confrontational.
What you are pointing out does not support your point nor your narrative:
1. GM is a company. Like I said, companies are always on path for growth and expansion. They will have to expand to underdeveloped areas whether there is an India hype or not, that's just the nature of capitalism. It's not like corporations never think about expansion into new market until one new market is under a government that does all the PR to lure them in. And it is also true that a lot of their ventures will turn out unsuccessful. You will learn this as soon as you learn business history.
2. So what? Everyone knows it is scam. Business scams happens in all countries, how does that support your point that "major countries including the West, China and Russia are fooled and scammed by India"? Which major country bought into Jio 5G?
3. Sure, but what's your point? Government needs to do things, whether there is any room for them to do anything meaningful or not. This still does NOT support your point that India fooled the rest of the world by their "Make in India". If you read enough history, you will know that there are no shortage of similarly ambitious, hyped-up but eventually fruitless political campaigns in human history. This is common in politics.
4. Don't be an infant by throwing that "Cold War" term around, especially with capital letters. This is juvenile behavior. Do you even know what the Cold War is? Ladakh is nothing to China. China didn't even mobilize much of her second line forces in Western Theatre Command. This is nothing. How on earth does this constitute a "Cold War"?
5. This is confusing point you are making. Covid-19 spread widely in India just like how everyone expected. Western countries have always been saying that India will have a huge pandemic, long before India's numbers actually surged. How on earth does this support your narrative that India "fooled the world"?
If you believe the whole narrative that India fooled the entire world, you would have already been brainwashed by Western propaganda. Because it is the same kind that kept on insisting that they "made China great by trading with China“, hence pretending to do this whole "decoupling with China" thing, that is obviously a hoax.
Because capitalism is always on a outreach for expansion, Western capitals have always wanted to enter China (as well as all other markets they don't have access to). The "改革开放" and the US-China normalization of relationship is only an event that allowed the Western capitals to pour in. But your logic, China also wooed the Western capital in. The only difference is that China delivered (to be precise, there have been a handful of very difficult economic situations in China since1980, the sustain high growth on happened after 2000) while India did not, looking back from today.
One way the Western propaganda works is by passing foundational ideas as a priori "truth" in subtlety. This is more powerful than direct brainwashing. Because people subject to these would think that they came up with those thoughts themselves. While in reality, the ideas and thoughts base upon which they came up with their thoughts are not theirs. This is the problem I have with your narrative.
Your narrative first assume that nations/countries are the exact same creatures as individual human beings. They are NOT. You have to first understands how nations/countries work before you use such infantile terms as "trustworthiness". This term contains the motivation to fool voters into thinking that any negative impact of their government's miscalculation and lack of competitiveness if not their own fault/shortcoming, but the fault of their opponents being "untrustworthy". The thing is, diplomacy and realpolitik NEVER work upon "trustworthiness", they work upon "predictability": it is not because one government trust another, but rather because they have a reliable enough mechanism of predicting the future actions of the other government to a certain quantifiable degree of accuracy.
