This is crazy if it’s true but then religion makes people believe and do crazy things.
what “is crazy if true”? Please summarize its claims instead dropping a clickbait video that forces people to watch to even find out what the claim is.
Offend Japan? Modi has gotten his priorities wrong yet again. Who is more important for India's future? China or Japan? If Modi is as predicted, too afraid to embrace this truth, then nothing meaningful is gonna happen for India in the foreseeable future. Off course, India is only begining to build trust with China. But whose fault was that to destroy this trust? It wasn't China's fault, that's for sure.
It is my opinion that India will never truly fulfill any of it's potential as long as Modi and the same old elites are in charge. All this realignment with China is just theater for the Americans to watch and squirm for awhile. Then Modi will one day go to the US and capitulate. And then it's back to business as usual.

Business as usual until Trump starts squeezing them again.
When you're a two faced snake who backstabs everyone, when it's your turn to take a beating, no one will be there for you.
This has been already said multiple times on this forum. But it's still amusing to watch it actually go exactly as stated. Turns out despite what they think, India isn't exactly that hard to read and therefore predict how it acts.

India has been comquered and ruled successively by foreign invaders continuously throughout its history: multiple waves of Indo-Iranians, Huns, Mamelukes/Turks, Mongols, and the British. However, just because most of India (until the British, none of the previous conquerors ever managed to establish rule over the entirety of what is now Southern India and Eastern India) has been united by past empires does not make India a viable modern nation state. The Austro-Hungarian empire, Ottoman empire, and to a lesser extent the Czarist Russian empire and the Qing empire are all historical examples of large multi-ethnic empires of conquest that failed to modernize/develop and survive the transition to a viable nation state.
Looks like he is still actively participating in India's national pastime of fence-sitting.

Modi and India are in limbo right now. He's certainly not going to attend especially since his bout with Pakistan using Chinese military tech. Just like Trump was never going to go, if he was invited at all, because that would be bad for optics
Someone should do some sort meme of comparing this with Trump's recent gathering of allies at the White House over Ukraine. Which one looks more alpha? This one is a defiance of the screwed-up Western world order while the one in the oval office looked like Western leaders sitting on elementary school chairs in the principal's office in from of Trump around his big desk.
Watching the news shows post parade has even more cope than from the day before. A lot of the US and the West boasting about themselves because they can control those images like how they're the champion of human rights while forgetting about what's happening in Gaza, the greatest crime against human rights happening right now. They mock what happened at the SCO forum and at the parade but at the same time demand their must be action panicked at this opposition against them. Joe Scarborough said the US doesn't have to show off their weapons to say how great the US is because everyone knows already but seems to forget Trump's birthday parade. That's what's happening now where Americans are acting like Trump is a separate America and is no reflection of the whole. This is happening especially with Democrats when all they do is follow what Republicans do to seem patriotic.
I don't think it's in China's interest to care about whether India is viable as a nation-state or not. This is a Western obsession (telling others what government systems and territories they should or should not have), and having been a target of persistent Western balkanization attempts, it is in China's interest to not further legitimize the Western narrative around "self-determination."
Instead, the focus should be on practical, productive relations with whoever is in charge in India - and not just India, but the rest of South Asia, as well. From a demographic perspective, South Asia will inevitably become a major axis of Eurasian affairs. It is important for China to ensure that this emergence is not detrimental to its interests, which means working beneficially with governments that are friendly, and managing/containing governments that are not. As long as China doesn't hold illusions about India's ultimate alignment (which will always be to itself), and as long as China maintains its own national strength and vitality, it should be possible to live as neighbors.

WSJ is saying that China is holding a military parade to show off it's weapons and entice potential buyers. Apparently, China's national day parade to them is all about weapons only.
WSJ also says that while China's arms exports is growing, it still could not compete with the West in terms of quality. They are perhaps not living in Sept 2025. One of their analysts doesn't really want to accept the downing of the IAF Rafales by PAF J-10s. Copium...
