More like sarcasm than cryptic. I jokingly said can Xi also take a ride in a J10. How you interpreted that as pro-India? I don’t care about India one way or another. Anyway, move on.

Back to iPhones, ~200 million are sold per year
Right now, Indian market for them is not even at 10 million per year. Samsung sells about 20 million (~#1 in the market). So 25% is ~50 million, which means very few will leave India (relatively speaking)
About ~47 million iPhones were sold in China last year. Very doubtful India is going to be reaching those levels within the next 3 years when considering all their competitors. Back in 2022, around ~232 million units were sold with 7% of the units coming from India. About ~6.5 million units were sold in India leaving about ~9.7 million units unaccounted for. Apple has been exporting a lot more made in India iPhones then just a few.
Is this a big part of the country that they want to separate from the Philippines?
A splintered group from Abu Sayyaf militant who survived the Battle of Marawi in 2017. The main separatist group the MILF had sign a peace agreement with Duterte offering them an autonomous homeland for them to practice their Sharia law. Marawi is under their control so maybe there is an internal conflict going on within the organization cause many are close relatives and most of the Abu Sayyah fighters came from the MILF.

It may well be advantageous for China and Russia, especially Russian at the moment, considering that the US "is governed by morons". One of such morons is Kirby, he just slapped his own face by pretending that Russia has not achieved strategic victory in Ukraine.
Some of the commanders may well be fooled by their own arrogance. But they are useful idiots. They serve the the interest of the Military-Industry-Complex. For the MIC, the propose of the war is not victory. It's how long the war can last, no matter how many lives it will cost - the longer the war, the more profits for their coffers.
Unlike the leaders of June 4th, all the leaders of the Hong Kong riots were thrown under the bus by NED/CIA.
Maybe it's not entitlement and hubris. Maybe it's symptoms of PTDS caused by her visit to China.
