I disagree. India is an enemy. China might get some extra dollars but what India will get in return is far more valuable. That's world class manufacturing expertise, insights into advanced R&D etc.
The same mistake that the US did with feeding off China, China won't repeat that with India
Irony of Fate!
This was supposed to happen with Putin, but something went wrong...
And winter hasn't come yet and Putin hasn't completely cut off the gas to Europe...
Who will be next after BoJo!?
Meanwhile, in British supermarkets have started putting anti-theft devices on staples such as cheese, meat, butter and baby milk. The rise in prices has made these goods "luxury" as cost-of-living crisis drives thefts.
If Chinese companies do not sell to Indians, the western companies will. Taking the Indian market is to take profit away from the western companies.
A strong Chinese economy will cause spillover to foreign countries no matter what. If we do not have problem with Chinese investment in US/EU/VN/KR/JP/RU/etc, why would we be afraid of investing in India?
If you don't believe that India will become a Supapowe, you should fear even less of the India that falls in love with Chinese brands.
If Chinese brands can take over the Indian market, it can actually change how the average Indians perceive of China. That is a soft power.
Japan thought that Russia is China who plays geopolitical/economical games in another way/level/dimension
They hit a wall this time. Talking with nice words with the Russian bear while sanctioning it, is like talking to a solid wall. At the end all they managed is to make the Russian bear angry who then simply turned over the table
Russia culturally isn't Asian. Japan should be aware of that and treat it accordingly. How Russia does business with its partners is definitely different than China

The Indian "market" and "profits" are a mirage. See all the raids that the Chinese companies operating in India had from the authorities there. Do you honestly believe that India will let China make profits there? (Did you forget all the app bans)
One of them (RU) is not like the other.
As for the Rest, they are developed economies, so imo the net benefits in both sides comes out at about equal which is fine with me.
And for VN, I don't put them in the Western powers category. They got their own diplomacy, which is ok
While I don't think India will become a superpower it still has the most fundamental thing at the moment (scale of population) so there is still a possibility.
And because I am not a gambling man, if there is even a 0.01% chance of India becoming a superpower in the future, I prefer to crash/eliminate/prevent it now (or as soon as possible)
Learn from the US lesson, if they had followed the same strategy, they would have avoided all that mess with China (albeit China was/is always more capable than India)
You mean the Jai Hind Indians who think that CCP is under their beds and fall over themselves to prove who is more anti-China than the other? Or the Indians who devoutly pray that the Three Gorges dam is destroyed?
No this isn't soft power. This is bending over for Indians to like us. I would expect some people to say to do that for White people but honestly this is the first time I hear to do all this so we can basically get a pat on our backs from Indians...
We can only change course with India when there is a mindset change from them. The way they strategically think is mindblowing to me. That they still keep up their ludicrous border claims and in China's weakest time they ambushed Chinese soldiers unequivocally proves that India is an enemy. Sorry, but nothing you or anyone else says will change my mind on that.
And because I consider India an enemy, I have a specific way to deal with enemies, crush them, mess up with them when they are weak before they grow. Nip it in the bud
