It's not uncommon for China to have haters, in particular the Anglos and the Indians who both envy and want what china has: hi tech manufacturing, high trust society, world power in science and the cutting edge of homo sapiens civilisational development. Chinese are also more socially evolved being more pragmatic and less focused on religious superstition to the extent of cultish zealotry the way the indians and westerners whose leaders are zionits are, to say nothing of certain islamic nations.
The Indians are weird.
They all want to leave their own country for the West, and the country that fascinates them the most is China.
Just google China 6th gen airplane, and we will get 20 sources of this news from India, and zero from China.
Kind of funny.

"France handed over the base at Faya-Largeau in the north of the country on Thursday as part of the continuing withdrawal of its military forces from Chad."
Russia was only offering them export modification of aircraft which still would be good if India believed that Russia intend to transfer tech and build on time. and its highly likely Russia offered substandard aircraft for high upfront cost. just not get entangle in it and this Russia attitude could be related to soft power.I pointed out 1 simple, concrete example:
instead of humbly learning from Russia with the Su-57 that they were invited to co-develop, they call it backwards, obsolete, immature, much worse than their PPT level AMCA!!! They will leapfrog Russia!!! So they pull out of the program because they weren't getting enough 'work share' rather than focusing on doing their job and learning all they could.
Now Su-57 is being proven in combat and ordered by Russian Air Force, while they're still flying Mig-21s. And any future sale to India will be for a sale only, no ToT, no assembly, no native parts, nothing, they will have a 1000x worse deal than China did in 1992 with Su-27. That is the price of arrogance.
If they stuck with Su-57 no matter the price, at least they'll have Su-57 by now, and can learn step by step from it. But nope, they prefered powerpoints, so now they get Mig-21.
According to the document, the Indian side participated in the project only financially, while all design work and construction of finished aircraft were assigned to Russia.
In March 2017, these assumptions were confirmed by Konstantin Sivkov, president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems. He opined that Russia may transfer the technologies for the production of the FGFA to India, but not in full, they should be modified for the export version of the aircraft.
The Indian defence ministry thought otherwise and cited as an example the contract with Russia for the supply of Su-30MKI fighters, which did not provide for technology transfer, which the Indian government considered a serious omission.
On 13 July 2018, the head of the Indian Defence Ministry Nirmala Sitharaman commented on the department’s decision on the FGFA programme, which boils down to the following: you develop the aircraft, spend your money on it, and then, someday we will think about it. ‘We have conveyed to Russia that India is not part of this project now, but we have also told the Russians that they can go ahead with it on their own and we can join the programme at a later stage,’ the minister said.
This is why we get the propaganda from Indians that "Indian immigrants are needed to compete with China".Indians are in full blown panic mode. Go at Reddit, their defence forum, YouTube comments, Indian news articles. Panik all around.
Even their deluded thinking can't fool them that their 4th gen crap aircraft can beat Chinese 6th gen lol
