Hua to hua has gone international. Levity apart , Sana Hashmi - a Mandarin speaker & China expert based in Taiwan , provides us with a very nuanced view of what a cross section in China thinks about India apart from the CCP .

Key Takeaway

Chinese Military Buildup
The competition continues more than 1,000 miles east of India’s southern tip at the entrance to the Malacca Strait, a chokepoint that Beijing worries America could use to block its energy supplies in a war over Taiwan.

India allowed the US access to its Andaman and Nicobar islands, which sit at the entrance to the strait, after joint exercises last year. It’s also posting troops there permanently for the first time.

Apparently the US is basing its personnel in the A&N Islands as per this Bloomberg article.

Huge development IMO , if true.

The Han seem to think not only can they frame our policies for us but heavenly mandate is such that the mere hint of friendship with the middle kingdom will confer upon India great largesse from the US.

Hence , India should keep the boundary dispute aside , recognise what a great power China is & perform the kowtow .

I'm often amazed by people who think they're the smartest person in the room not so much for the way they think & carry themselves but coz they think everyone else in the room is a fool. I've also seen such people come crashing down sooner rather than later from the rarefied heights they inhabit.

Zhongguo hasn't caught on to the fact that while the old isn't dead yet , the young also isn't yet born . When the news breaks unto the Han it'd be too late indeed.

Hundreds throng Beijing’s Vasant Mela as India, China look to normalise ties

This year’s Mela had shades of India-China bonhomie as Liu Jinsong, Director General of Asia and India’s point man in the Chinese Foreign Ministry took part in the event.

I've never heard of any Indian interested in Chinese art forms except Kung Fu if that qualifies as an art form nor any Indian learning any classical Chinese dance or singing like in the Chinese opera etc .

Yet the Chinese seem very curious about Indian art forms to the extent that there are Chinese youth & children leaning these art forms unlike India where nobody's interested in similar activities . Why do you suppose this is so ?

Besides why does the CCP think either GoI or the people here think acts like these would normalise Indo China relations ? What is the assessment of the MSS in this regard ? @rockdog

That assessment seems to conclude Trump's not as interested or invested in Indo Pacific as much as the Biden administration was.

The jury's open on whether the Biden administration goaded Putin into the war on Ukraine while keeping up the pretence of being tough on China thus diverting the world's especially the US's attention to Russia which otherwise would've been focussed on China.

There's another school of thought which suggests that in order to prevent Russia from associating with China when the Taiwan issue heats up , the US entrapped Russia into the war in Ukraine .

We should bear in mind the last time Biden was part of the US administration as a VP he was known by Washington insiders as China Joe for the reconciliatory stance he took vis a vis China. His son Hunter Biden was long compromised for his dealings with the CCP & their associates. All these are known & undisputed facts.

Time will tell which of these was the correct assesment. However what time tells us is till date the only President who's cracked the whip on China calling it an adversary in the same mould as the former USSR & act on it was Trump in his last Presidency while his predecessors largely paid lip service to the issue notably Obummer.

For all we know , the emphasis Trump is laying on closure to the war on Ukraine is to prepare the US for the single biggest challenge it has faced in its entire existence or if not that then certainly the biggest one this century & for a long time since the USSR collapsed.

India & China can never reconcile their differences . That boat sailed in the 2000s. The Chinese knew so long ago . We discovered that in 2020 though there were ample signals before that which we failed to take cognizance of.

The gap between in the perception of which way our relationship should be heading has now acquired the proportions of an unbridgable chasm. This is no longer a mere boundary issue or even restricted to the water sharing issue or even Tibet .

It's now become a question of who's going to be the paramount economy in Asia & the world & with that who'd be the paramount power in Asia & the world.

For China to emerge unchallenged India must fall or fall in line & for India to rise & take its rightful place in the premier economies of the world & consequently as one of the premier powers of the world , China has to be either checked or it must fall. That's one of the lessons India's internalised since Galwan .

Too bad we don't seem to be acting on it as far as military preparedness goes even as we're building up the border infrastructure at a furious pace.
