Well, the inevitability of Chinese fighting against US, Taiwan potentially Japan is not in question
If I recall, Zelensky let slip that Ukraine might develop nuclear weapons and then the following week, Russia invaded Ukraine. Seems like Ukrainians are desperate to keep this war going on in the midst of a potential trump victory in November .
The anglos are simply putting the Indians in their place. Given the Brahmin jai hind arrogance and ineptitude, they blithely assumed ahem jaishankar ahem, that just because their interests aligned in building up India to confront China, that the anglos would see Indians as equal to anglos. The Japanese also made the same mistake, but the fact of the matter is, the Anglo five eyes world order is an apartheid world order and the Indians needed to be reminded of that, The mistake of BRICS countries like Russia and China in treating India as an equal is that Indians would naturally assume that those two nations are below them in status, unlike the arrogant anglos and therefore India must be above them in hierarchy. Cut the Indians down to size, it is sorely needed.
That bio reads like the failson of a western elite. How does an obviously third rate European individual like Bernard Henri-Levy get touted as a “philosopher“ were it not for his Jewish kin blowing his trumpet.
I believed that we will see the reemergence of greater Sinosphere encompassing not only East Asia and Vietnam BUT that of ASEAN as well. My thesis is base on Sinosphere and Indosphere competition in the SEA region, @Sardaukar20 can attest to this as China gain in prominence so is its culture, the current inheritor the CPC is able to convey the beauty of being Chinese and how to become one. For some being passive is dangerous and being ascribed for being compliant or a loser BUT if you study the behavior of every Chinese both passive and aggressive are complementary, like Yin and Yang, you need to balance both and know when to use either one of them under favorable condition. I may dwell on the philosophical BUT its very helpful, I can attest to that, when I was growing up having been educated in western educational system, expressing yourself and being aggressive all the time only invite trouble and make you look uncultured, I don't received the respect I want because I acted like a jerk, with age come wisdom and being surrounded by my ethnic community, I have an Eureka moment and understand what it is to become a Chinese.
I forgot to address this part. Here is where I would agree with you. China needs to continue cleaning house. To root out the spies, traitors, and bad capitalists. I definitely want to see India booted out of BRICS and the SCO. But there is one member in both organizations that brought India in, and is happy to keep it in: Russia. Since Russia is one of the two major pillars of these organizations alongside China, its decision does matter. Unfortunately Russia loves India too much, and India is only too happy to kiss Russia's ass. The both of them are still too emotionally attached for things to change. I'm waiting for the West to force India to leave BRICS and SCO. Or India finally giving Russia the long-awaited backstab. But, lets see what happens. As for baiting the US into endless wars away from China, I don't advocate for China starting proxy wars, but China can definitely support forces that are fighting against the US and friends. And China is doing that by standing with Russia in the midst of the Ukraine War. China is also supportive of the Palestinian cause. While China does not overtly send arms to these parties, what China is doing well is giving them the economic lifeline to continue to fight. That is no small contribution.
Their own paper explains why: Chinese students don't get kicked out after year 2 if they're doing poorly while US, Russian and Indian students do.
Throwing out India is long overdue. The first step is de-dollarization but that is jeapardized by having snakes like India
