Some members come to this forum to vent on the Jai Hinds, because it is practically politically-incorrect to call them out in mainstream spaces. Yet the Jai Hind media have no such restrictions. What I do agree is that we need to moderate our banter with the Jai Hinds, and prevent it from becoming pure hatred. I despise the Jai Hinds, but the world would be so boring without them.
Yes, India is ruled by loincloth imperialists, and nobody in Asia likes them very much. India is a middle power, not a big threat to China, but are still relatively dangerous with the military and nukes that they have. It is not worth it for China to nuke them, but it is very worth it for them to nuke China. They do not have as much influence left in their neighbourhood as in decades past, but they still have the military and economic might to threaten the smaller nations.
I do not advocate for China going out of its way to start armed conflicts with India. But I would advocate for China to keep a sizable military force to deter and threaten India. Just as India have been threatening China's waterways by militarizing the Andaman-Nicobar Islands, and pointing their Agni missiles at Chinese cities.
I understand what China is doing and agree with it from a grand strategy standpoint. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that people like me are gonna start following in China's footsteps and start giving India respect.
I'll disagree with you here. For a country of 1.4bil, with the talent pool they have, the technological and industrial base that they have, and a less challenging geopolitical climate, they are a failure. If India was a country of 200mil population, it would have been behind countries like Nigeria, Brazil, and Indonesia. Does India have all the potential to become a great power? For sure! But it is their failure in governance and mindset that condemns them to their level of achievements. It also does not help that India is an imperialistic nation, albeit with none of the competence of true imperial nations.
Absolutely no! I don't want any shred of India's digital ecosystem in China, or in anywhere else in the East. I don't want to see Gaumutra or dried cow dung for sale on any online stores near me. The West can have all of the Indian digital ecosystem for all I care.
Yes, I agree with "keeping your enemies closer", but not too close please. Yes, China should have a piece of India's market to milk them for cash. I enjoy watching India's trade deficit with China grow wider. But business must only be on China's terms, which is transactional only. No ToT or co-development BS. India needs to buy Chinese batteries? Yes, charge them market prices and make money out of them. Hell no to setting up any battery factories or R&D centers in India. That bromance phase is over, and that was 100% India's fault, not China. As long as India continues to discriminate against China, threaten China, and messes around with Xizang, there can be no business-as-usual.
