  1.  @Toon_With_Tune  I can't understand anything that you're saying. You're wasting your time speaking in Hindi while using Latin letters to write it. Why don't any of you use the Devanagari script to write it?

  2.  @Toon_With_Tune  So it's in your constitution? So what about theirs? They believe it belongs to them so why does your view trump everybody else's view? Why do you think India's constitution is the only truth?

  4. By simply maintaining an economic relationship with both, that's the furthest they're going at the moment.

  8.  @awijaya2116  You bring up a very interesting question regarding the American view of India. In the eyes of the US and pretty much the rest of the Western world, India is always juxtaposed with China. To the US, India is what they want China to be. The American view always stresses the fact that India is a democracy and thus as a democratic nation, India is always seen as a country that the US can work with (even though historically both countries have never been close). Personally, I think the American view of India will change as the country continues to grow - at least to an extent. If we look at history, the US has never been fond of another country challenging American hegemony. The government and those in positions of influence will find a difference between India and the US and use that to construct a narrative that pits the two countries against. All this talk of the Asian Century has also received negative reports. So in the future, with China projected to be at the top and India challenging the US economically, that negative rhetoric we've seen when some people talk about the Asian Century will probably become more prominent.

  10.  @sekhamyu  Last time I checked you're not a bureaucrat so your opinion doesn't matter. Malaysia tip toeing around and criticising China on one hand and then supporting it on the other is the reason why ASEAN is a failure.

  11. I understand what you're saying but the way you phrased it is wrong. Asia is culturally Eastern both philosophically, culturally and mentally. What you are talking about are Western institutions, most countries in the world have Western institutions.

  12.  @anomalianomali5080  Collectivism in East Asia and other Asian cultures for that matter is not dictated by rule-based hierarchy, it's based on respect for one another and is similar to other similar values that are taught in traditional Asian belief systems like filial piety. I think you have a skewed perception of East Asian cultures and believe that East Asian cultures only practice values like collectivism due to an "overbearing body of power", that's not the case.

  14. The West supported India for hundreds of years? Huh??? You may want to do a little research on the way the US was always against India from the time of the Cold War. When they were fighting a war with Pakistan in the 1970s, the US supported the Pakistanis and President Nixon was staunchly anti-Indian. If I was in charge of India, I'd do a 180 and embrace China in full just to spite them.

  16.  @goeast12  Singapore is a small country and uses that to excuse itself from accepting refugees, whether that's right or wrong it's not my place to say. Singapore is also very strict when it comes to managing its own ethnic diversity. It gives preference to people from Malaysia, China (including Hong Kong) and India because people from those places are of the same ethnic or of related ethnic origin to local Singaporeans. Singaporean government uses Malaysian+Chinese+Indian immigration to maintain the ratio of Chinese to Malays to Indians (the fertility rates of all three groups are incredibly low, with the Chinese and Indians having statistically less than 1 baby - 0.9 - each year). You also can't compare Singapore's ethnic demographics to the USA's ethnic demographics. Remember, the US only consisted of 13 colonies along the east coast that were taken from Native American populations. On top of that, slaves of West African origin were brought over to the US adding to the ethnic demographics. Additionally, the USA's expansion west meant it acquired land that was originally owned by Spain (and post-independent Mexico) which was already home to many people of Latin American origin (of whom many are of European origin as well as mestizo origin). Singapore's native people are Malays and like the rest of Southeast Asia, thousands of ethnic Chinese and ethnic Indian migrants settled in Singapore over the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Singapore and the US have different histories and different geographies.

  18.  @bxzidffbxzidff  The two countries are nuclear armed nations so I highly doubt they're going to engage in a full blown war. Also, let's not forget the fact that the main reason why India and China are at each other's throats is due to British colonisation. Pre-colonisation, India and China had no issue and were bound together by cultural exchange (e.g. spread of Buddhism). As someone else said, India and China are the yin and yang of Asia - they keep the balance in Asia and always have since ancient times (e.g. most of Asia is culturally tied to China and India and are the dominant powers in the region).

  24.  @yolemae6580  All of those areas are within the control of those countries, be serious. It's just that there are separatists in those regions who wish they were independent. Are you going to tell me that Canada is occupying Quebec? Are you going to tell me that the UK is occupying Scotland?

  25.  @yolemae6580  You can't compare any of that to the fact that US military bases dot the entirety of the Indo-Pacific stretching from Diego Garcia, just south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean all the way across the Western Pacific up to Japan. It's literally an entire arc and the USA is not close to any of these bases. Maybe you'll understand why China is so angry because it's literally surrounded by US military bases and is destabilising peace in the Asian region.

  26.  @yolemae6580  The Americans haven't stopped militarising Asia. They tried to set up military bases on the island nation of Sri Lanka back in 2019 to continue surrounding China but failed due to mass protests, due to fears that the American military will be able to commit crimes and get away with it. A clause in the SOFA said that the US military will be exempt from Sri Lankan law and it generated fear akin to what has happened in Okinawa, Japan where US military have raped and murdered Japanese girls. It must be noted that thousands of Sri Lankan women and other Asian (including Korean) women were trafficked to US military bases in South Korea during and in the aftermath of the Korean War to work as comfort women. In South Korea, these women are known as "kijichon" or "Yankee princess" (translated into Korean as foreigner's w****) and their history is still a point of political tension. That's one of the many dark sides of US military presence in Asia, local women face systemic abuse to please American soldiers.

  29. Cutting India's water supply will also cut off the water supply to Bangladesh. China also has control over the water sources for the whole of mainland Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) and damming those rivers will lead to no fresh water in mainland Southeast Asia. China is very interested in Tibet because Tibet is known as the "water tower of Asia" as it supplies so much fresh water to many parts of South and Southeast Asia. So cutting off water would basically be an act of war.

  38. ​ @adilsheikh843  "Subcontinent" is mostly in reference to India's ethnic diversity (including Pakistan and Bangladesh were both part of India at one point). I guess what you're referring to is the tectonic plate known as the Indian plate that crashed into the Eurasian plate (consisting of most of Asia and Europe) to form the Himalayas.

  39.  @pete5691  Bangladesh is indeed an Asian Tiger and they have a plan to become developed by 2041, whether they reach achieve that or not, only time will tell but they have that plan in place and are using the same East Asian economic model that is also currently being used by Vietnam (another modern Asian Tiger). It is the Asian Century and China is the most powerful nation of the Asian Century. Basing a region's worth on who migrates there is not a valid argument because it's not the same across the whole world. Asian countries (whether rich or poor) have very strict immigration policies. There is a lot of inter-regional migration within Asia and most Asian countries mostly accept temporary migrants from other Asian countries. Asia has experienced tremendous economic success, China is set to become the biggest economy by 2030, India is expected to rise to #3 by the end of this decade and Indonesia is set to rise to #4 by the middle of this century. Multiple Asian countries are competing in key sectors like space exploration (China, India, Japan), robotics (China, Japan, India, Singapore, South Korea) and AI (of which China is currently ahead of the US in multiple AI sectors). A push for de-dollarisation has gained traction in Asia and Asian soft power has also risen considerably, with South Korea now competing with the US on a global scale. The biggest song in the world right now is a song by a South Korean Kpop girl group called "Cupid", the most watched series on Netflix is a South Korean series and the most used app in the world is TikTok, a Chinese app. Idolisation and fetishisation of Korean people and culture is now common place and there are people who are getting plastic surgery to look Korean/East Asian. This level of infatuation and idolisation was only ever seen with the US but now South Korea is up there too. So yeah we are in the Asian Century.

  40. You mean North America and Europe because Australia and New Zealand, being Asia-Pacific nations, followed similar rules that were enforced across Asia from Japan to the small island nation of the Maldives.

  41.  @abba-Flammenfresser  It was the end of WWII and Japan's failed invasion of India that bolstered the independence movements of the Indians and Pakistanis. The US has no hand in freeing them. India's desire independence received support from the US, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, the Soviet Union and China but that's about it.

  42.  @abba-Flammenfresser  Firstly, I'm not from India. Secondly, I am aaware that Russia is evil and what they have done to Ukraine is abhorrent but you also need to understand that your perspective is not the same for everybody else. While the Americans were supporting the genocide of Bangladeshis in 1971 and President Nixon was making racist remarks about the Bangladeshis, it was the Soviets that gave support to the Bangladeshis. Thirdly, the US has no significant hand in providing independence to India. India and Pakistan were not two separate colonies which makes me believe you are not aware of colonial Indian history which is why you believe the US is the reason for Indian independence. The Indian independence movement was already thriving before WWII even began, it exacerbated during WWII when the Japanese invaded India and set up a puppet state known as Azad Hind which was controlled by Indian nationalists fighting for independence. By the time WWII ended, the British realised that India was a too costly to maintain control of India and that animosity between Hindus and Muslims was too high.

  43.  @abba-Flammenfresser  Fourthly, you don't understand Indian history if you think the Americans have always been there for them. The US has always supported Pakistan, their arch enemy. In 1971, when the Bangladesh Liberation War started, the US was supporting Pakistan in its war against India. When Indian intervened and tried to stop the genocide from happening, the US sent the USS Enterprise to attack India. Fast forward to the 21st Century when India faced its deadliest terror attack committed by Pakistani terrorists, the US continued to support Pakistan. When the Bin Laden was found hiding in Pakistan in 2011, the US continued to support Pakistan. Terrorism is such a huge issue for India (it has dealt with Islamist terrorism committed by Pakistan-backed terrorists long before 9/11 happened), yet the US continues to support Pakistan. So how can you say that the US has always been there for them? India and the US have never been allies but the US and Pakistan are allies.

  44.  @abba-Flammenfresser  Get this treatment? The US only serve its interests, they aren't the ones being hurt. The ones being hurt are the 3 million Bangladeshis that died in the genocide that the US supported that President Nixon was vocal about and staunchly anti-India. The ones being hurt are the thousands and thousands of Korean, South Asian and Southeast Asian women who were trafficked to US military bases to work as sex slaves during and after the Korean War. The ones being hurt are the Chagossian people who were expelled from their country so that the US could establish a military base on their islands. The list goes on. You need to realise that the US and Russia have both done bad things. You can't think that one side is an angel and the other side, the devil. It's not black and white like you think it is. You need to learn more about the dark side of US presence overseas and lose this idea that the US cares about the world, it doesn't. They only care when it serves their interests. That is why to this day, the US has not allowed for the temporary waiving of IP that would allow China and India to produce Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that would be given out for free to developing nations across Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific. Why don't they care? It's because they gain nothing out of it and likely view the lives of the Global South as expendable.

  47.  @chaosXP3RT  I'll try to explain. The US has always supported India's enemy, Pakistan. Pakistan and the US developed close relationships in 1954 and the US has since then supported Pakistan. In the 1971 war, the US supported Pakistan against India. When the preceding Bangladeshi genocide occurred in 1971, the US supported Pakistan's genocide of the Bangladeshis and encouraged the transfer of arms from the Middle East to Pakistan so that the Pakistanis could use them against the Bangladeshis. The Indians were on the side of the Bangladeshis. President Nixon, of the time, was staunchly pro-Pakistan and anti-India and infamously made racist remarks about the Bangladeshis when the genocide was happening. Relations between Pakistan and the US continued to remain warm even when the War of Terror began. when India faced its deadliest terror attack at the hands of Pakistani terrorists, the US continued to support Pakistan and in 2011, when Bin Laden was found hiding in Pakistan, the US continued to support Pakistan. In the eyes of the Indians, the US has never been on their side. So, when you think about it, it is kind of a surprise that India has tried to develop better ties with the US in the 21st century despite being treated wrongly by the Americans throughout most of their time as an independent nation.

  50.  @Tounguepunchfartbox  No, people here just want peace. Nobody wants an arms race and the militarisation of Asia and the Pacific. The last thing we want to hear of is of an "Asian arms race". I respectfully disagree, allying with a power that is not within the Indo-Pacific does not make sense because at the end of the day, when things turn sour we are the ones who will suffer greatly not the foreign power located on the other side of the world who is far away from the damage. We need cooperation. The truth of the matter is regardless of our personal feelings, China is part of this region and the region needs to learn to get along with China. You can still cooperate even if you don't agree on things. Many Asian and Pacific countries signed the RCEP with China so that's proof we can cooperate. As I said before, nobody wants to become a pawn between the US and China. We want to cooperate with both, we don't want to be pushed around and forced to pick sides.
