Putin is going to burden us with India for at least another 10 years.

Modi is Putin's Mussolini.

Ultimately India fails precisely because they believe that.India smelled the coffee that US won't allow a second China to happen.
The article is total BS. To have such article published, the site becomes a US propaganda department. US does not own 5G, nobody owns it therefor 5G export control is BS, making such law makes US government BS.If you were a semiconductor expert in Taiwan, why would you wait for the last minute to leave?
US seems intent on conducting economic warfare to capture TSMC anyway
Whole thing sounds like nonsense. 5G is not an American technology.
Just factually wrong…
Its a other way around. Its US that is completely depended on India unless US can change its demographic trajectory. do you think French will stop selling arms to India ? I am sure French knows India position on Mideast/Ukraine. They do joint exercise with UAE and India. UAE the birth place of French industry from cosmetics to Aviation.Think of it this way: India completely dependent on the US gives the West massive leverage, and in turn it limits India's strategic autonomy. Will Jai Hinds happily suffer under American hegemony? I don't think so. Because many Jai Hinds hate China so much, people forget that there is a deep anti-American sentiment among nationalist Hindus. It just got subsumed in recent years due to the border clashes.
If China can narrow India's strategic choices then it also clips the wings of India. Look at the current diplomatic spat with Canada/US. India suddenly found itself without allies. Or when the US ambassador to India recently told (lectured?) the Indians that they cannot have strategic autonomy. The Americans are talking down to the Indians with condescension because they know they can afford it.
For this reason, I suspect the Indians are more keen on normalisation than the Chinese are. They realised too late they made a mistake betting everything on the US. But what does China have to lose? People saying that China will now suddenly build up India are a bit deluded. The analogue with Western investment into China during the 1990s and early 2000s are completely off the mark. Even with a deal like this, there is deep distrust on both sides. This is just piecemeal de-escalation. I personally don't think relations will fully recover, but they can at least thaw a bit.
It is actually totally different. In case of USSR and Vietnam it was a normalization (ceasing of hostility) that led to border settled. It is not border settled leading to better relationship. As a full packege, USSR pulled out of Afghanistan and Mongolia, Vietnam pulled out of Combodia. Border settlement is just a symbolic act strategic peace, it is a peanut.I was referring to border agreements like the Sino-Soviet and Sino-Vietnam border agreements. Once that's there, it's the end of border problems for good.
Nobody is talking about giving up aksai chin. My understanding is that some of the mountains China took over in the last couple of years can now be patrolled jointly. That's not a big loss, it's not even a return to the status quo before the clashes. And China has extracted some concessions in returnUh, FYI just Aksai Chin, a small portion of the China-India "border dispute" is already larger than Taiwan. Back in the Qing dynasty Taiwan was also China's borderlands, analogous to Aksai Chin today.
Giving up land so India will be "neutral" during WWIII? Lmao, do I even need to bring out more WWII analogies?
I don't agree with this sophomoric views on Indias intellectual rigour even if I find their behaviour abhorrent and repellent. But they're still manage to grow their economy that African countries and Pakistan can envy. Not to mention that these folks did manage to penetrate western business, economic and politics which mean that they're not as stupid as most of us (myself included) like to believe.Indians want face. The reality is all you have to do is show that you can give them or deny them face. You don't have to actually give them anything so I'm baffled as to why real land was exchanged.
You need to first utterly humiliate them with ironclad proof, then offer to not publicize it. And if they refuse, publicize it.
