"Analysts say that there is an expectation in India that full normalisation of ties after full disengagement can follow, if China addresses four Indian key concerns.
First, moving beyond Confidence Building Measures, Beijing must demonstrate a commitment to resolve the boundary issue once for all through a sincere two-way political dialogue.
China is already doing that. Its India who is the insincere party. Pretending to be negotiating with China in front. While blabbering lies to smear China from behind.
Second, China must not impede India’s rise as a great power. Beijing can demonstrate a change in strategic thinking by dropping objections to New Delhi’s full membership to the UN Security Council (UNSC). Among the five-permanent member of the UNSC, China remains the only country, which is blocking a consensus on India’s permanent membership to the world’s most powerful body.
Simultaneously, China should not stand in the way to India’s entry in the other global organisations such the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).
India is the one trying to impede China's rise. The Covid-19 backstab, BRI sabotage, RCEP snub, screwing China at the SCO, joining the QUAD, economic boycotts, lobbying international companies to transfer production from China to India, bad mouthing China 24/7 in the media, trying to force Russia to choose India instead of China, Indian troll army, etc. China has the Veto power. Why should China help India gain a Veto power after all that?
So, NO! F*ck India! Stay down there, as a second-rate power!
Fourth, China needs to respect India’s geo-cultural space in South Asia, Southeast Asia, parts of Central and West Asia. While the imprint of the Confucian civilization is perceptible in East Asia, India’s civilizational influence is also overwhelming in the ASEAN, South Asia and key island territories in the Indian Ocean. The need to respect cultural multipolarity is a must if ties between the two rising global powers are to prosper.
China had never intentionally disrespected Indian culture. Indian culture like Buddhism, Yoga and cuisine is not banned or defamed in China. China never came to any third countries and insulted the Indian cultures there. But India? It is imposing restrictions on the Confucian Institutes in India. India is trying to coerce third countries to choose India over China. There was no Indian cultural suppression carried out by China. Nada. The opposite is actually true. So, f*ck those Indian analysts!
Fifth, China needs to give up its Middle Kingdom mentality of assuming that is positioned as the centre of the universe surrounded by tributary states, implying the stamping an inferior status to other countries and great civilizations."
Why should China give up the Middle Kingdom mentality? China is the largest, most powerful country in East Asia. Its cultural impact in East Asia built the foundations of the other East Asian countries. But what did China do with this 'Middle Kingdom' power? China asks for mutual respect and win-win relations. There was no colonialism or Monroe doctrine crap imposed over its smaller neighbours.
What then about about India's 'Akhand Bharat' and 'British Raj' mentality? India wants to replace the British Raj as the new colonial power in Asia. Why should this be allowed? No! Asia deserves better!
Best for China to keep India at arms length as long as India continues this zero-sum mentality. Just stop wasting time dealing with an hostile nation, hellbent on seeing China go down for it to rise. It'll save China diplomatic energy and doing South Asia and ASEAN a great favour. God forbid if India rises to have half the wealth and military might of China. India will surely attempt to go on a crusade to bend its smaller Asian neighbours to its will.
