Yeah it's really quite ridiculous. Xi Jinping saying "Asians should take care of the interests of Asia" was seen as a threat to the US.

They're neutral but India ought to ditch the US for their own good imo

@gabor-zsoltbenedek9420 Switch? Where have you been? 😭 The US has always supported Pakistan and that is the reason why India, today, still has a close relationship with Russia. The US has traditionally always been anti-India, even going so far as to have Pres. Nixon make derogatory remarks about Indians because he was pro-Pakistan. The US trying to court India is a very new thing due to China's rise. The US wants to get as many Asian nations on its side to "contain" China as part of its US forward defence ring that encircles Asia, which is why they're even trying to build ties with Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the latter of which was courted in 2019 by the Americans to establish a military base on its territory. People think that for countries to cooperate, they must see eye to eye on all things but they don't. They just focus on their own interests. It honestly makes sense for India from a geographical, cultural and economic perspective to engage with China rather than the US. The US has never actually cared about India and they still don't. If China hadn't risen, India would mean nothing to the US.

@Abhinav-m4o Nobody has ever truly taken Turkey seriously. They joined NATO and are considered the black sheep of the group, they have for years tried to join the EU but for a plethora of reasons, nobody supports them (especially Greece) and they have tried to host the Summer Olympics but nobody votes for them at the IOC

@possiblyzero3582 China and India's border dispute is the result of European colonisation and this is constantly brought up by Asianists. The Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau were never a source of contention in the ancient times and there are areas in the Himalayan region of India and the Tibetan region in China that are sacred to followers of Dharmic faiths. One of the most important sites in Hinduism is located in modern China. So the border dispute isn't something of their doing, the Indians simply inherited it from the British Raj.

@ZontarDow How is it working?

India should swing to China-Russia for three reasons: their economic success, stability in Asia and to spite the US.

@possiblyzero3582 India is the way that it is because it's constantly looking outwards instead of inwards.

@ThatBasedGuy Singapore will NEVER choose. K. Shanmugam, Singapore's Minister of Home Affairs infamously said in 2022 that Singapore will never pick a side even if it came to it. It will do everything it can to remain neutral.

@possiblyzero3582 China has had border disputes with multiple other Asian countries that have been resolved such as its former disputes with Tajikistan, Nepal and Myanmar. The China-India border dispute is simply unresolved and China has attempted to make land compromises with India but India has refused. What did happen though was a breakthrough last week when China and India decided to pull back troops from the border giving end to a 4 year stalemate. That breakthrough is quite significant because it also paves the way for India to accept Chinese investments, which has been discussed for a long time. The Indians are finally realising for their success, they need Chinese economic assistance because most things are made in or sourced from China. So I wouldn't say China is trying to circumvent India, in fact Chinese state media has continuously prayed for India to "wake up", which is why Chinese state media praised the border breakthrough last week. Two countries can work together even if they don't see eye to eye on everything.

@possiblyzero3582 Thanks for you reply. So the Myanmar dispute was resolved in the 1950s and involved both nations ceding small pieces of land to one another, China ended up recognising that most of the disputed territory as Burmese territory. China initially claimed the entirety of northern Kachin region and wanted to control it due to the KMT using it as a base. In regards to Tajikistan, Tajikistan ended a 130 year dispute with China by ceding 200km2 to China whilst China relinquished claims to over 28,000 km2 of Tajikistani territory. It was not done for economic reasons. China has given India the option of land compromise but India has continuously refused to accept anything. China once offered India a deal where China would keep Aksai China while India can keep Arunachal Pradesh but India refused. This was offered in 1960 and has been offered numerous times since. India has refused every single time.

@possiblyzero3582 I wouldn't say India wants to dethrone China economically, even the most nationalistic person in India will know that that is simply not possible. China has a much larger economic output than India and India's current economic growth rate of 6% does not compare to China's 9.5% that it pulled decades before. What India wants is a multipolar Asia in which China is not the sole dominant power in Asia, something that China has alluded to agreeing with. There is no debt trap by the way. People bring up Sri Lanka but a close look at Sri Lanka's debt situation will show that the country owes most of its debt to Western-backed institutions. In fact, Sri Lanka has managed to get out of bankruptcy, albeit with a price of extremely high living standards, because of the IMF's stringent austerity measures. It's not China behind any of this.

@ZontarDow Are we living in the same reality cause all I see is the Global South increasingly backing Russia

@lougerone Oh my days, the territory is disputed. The map depicts the territory that India control and the territory China controls. Stop torturing us with your "use correct map" nonsense. The map is CORRECT

@YaSunny0409 Except it's not. What Xi meant was a direct jab at the US for their interest in the Asian region. It was his way of trying to gag the US by saying it's not an Asian nation and thus should not be involved in Asian affairs. China isn't trying to create a pan-Asian empire like Japan did

@YaSunny0409 Not true
