We will say yes if it's profitable.
It was Mao who said "We Must Unite All The Forces That Can Be United".
The west turning against India was inevitable, the disconnect between Indian nationalism and their skin colour in western eyes is irreconcilable. The west only accept relations with slaves, and Indians, for all their faults, won't be slaves.
It doesn't mean China should give concessions, China shouldn't, but the world isn't zero sum, there are always win-win solutions. Its up to India to choose win-win over zero sum, if they do choose win-win, China should reciprocate. At end of the day China just need to win, China does not need India to lose.
And yes everyone knows India isn't reliable, that's already baked into the calculus when doing business with them, e.g. no you should never sell them stuff and send invoice after, but there's no reason to not send them stuff if they paid in full up front.
yes its entire West since the financial system and R&D post 1945 has central location based on dollar system of US President and Saudi King. thats why there is Arabic news when ever there is that Russian super computers.
Even this topic of LNG vessels in Arc 7 and Arc 8 ice class things getting delayed because the have to collect the right engineering talent. There is many other things in that bloom berg report they didnot properly research it.

Yes they act like China did this for no reason. How outrageous!
Personally I was surprised because China doesn't do anything preemptively and always wants to play kumbaya which is why they're so angry. They thought they can work against DJI and China would still supply the parts they need for their drones.
Paying up front in their useless money? What are we gonna buy with that trash? See this is how Indians get ya. Just ask Russians. Iirc rupees are under capital control cannot be converted at will.
Then you are forced to buy their low quality product at a premium price.
And Mao was mistaken. Albania, North Korea, Vietnam, to name a few.
When they say freedom of speech, they meant only certain speech and certain crowd size
The Michael guy is from the Quincy institute. Lei also got further dox by someone
Obvoiusly no, not even in USD, upfront in RMB, and if they have no RMB, don't sell.
It's up to India if they can afford to buy and if they have enough RMB, but if they do and pay upfront, there's no reason to not do business.
This is obviously a sign of weakness. Skydio wouldn't be seething, malding, generally bitching to the government if they can find an alternate supplier before their stockpile runs out. Now the question is if this is representative of the rest of the MIC.
One downside is that this play was suboptimal. China has effectively signaled that the Chinese supply chain will be weaponized to achieve geopolitical goals. Other MIC companies will see this and rush to stockpile as much as they can to hedge their risks. You should never half send a shot like this.

What's galling about this mother father, brother of a company is that they have been instrumental on lobbying it's government to ban DJI on pretty much everything in America from Police use, firefighting use, agriculture etc..Which is why I think they're getting targeted specifically by the recent ban that China imposed. What's good for the goose, is also good for the gander.
