India threatening to align with the Americans against China

Under the impact of Chinese power and Xi’s revisionism, as former Indian diplomat Vijay Gokhle wrote in the New York Times recently: “The world needs balance — at the moment, no country other than the United States has the means to ensure it.”

For far too long, New Delhi has maintained a preference for strategic autonomy rather than strategic alignment with the West. Chinese actions have more or less forced India’s hands.

Yogesh Joshi is Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore.

The above is quoted from CNA. This is a typical Indian rhetorical statement as if China is so afraid of India aligning with the Americans to contain China and China must coax India and court India if China did not want this to happen. This is like expecting the racist Australians to be nice to China and not to be too friendly with the USA. China has long concluded that India is an unreliable partner in geopolitics. India would always be a secondary power and clinging to the coat tail of the Americans like a mouse sitting on the head of a tiger and shouting at everyone.

China has no disillusion that India is going to be on the side of China. India has always been taking the side of the Americans against China. Period.  There is no need for such an incident to push India into the American camp. It has always been in bed with the Americans.

China can only hope that India be a responsible neighbour and avoid creating trouble and mischief at the borders. Unfortunately this is a bit too hard to wish for knowing how sneaky and conniving the Indians are. Their super power dream has misguided their thinking and sensibility. They still think they are in the same league as China and China is viewing India as a strategic competitor. Not for another hundred years before India can think of catching up with China.

Between China and India there is no meaningful comparison. Perhaps India can claim number one when its population exceeds those of China.

PS. India has sent more soldiers and heavy weapons to the border, including a division of tanks. Trying to be aggressive, to attack Chinese border guards. Now got whacked and crying father and crying mother. If they had the upper hand, they would not behave like cry babies.

 As usual, sabre rattling, want to fight with China again, trying to tell the world and China their prick is bigger and would rout the Chinese PLA. Talk is India's top weapon. Listen to their news and social media you would think they would be marching to Beijing soon. Typical big talk and lots of noise but would be fleeing when war starts.

Once India is aligned to the Evil US Empire, she automatically becomes another Evil country.

If there is a war between China and the Evil US Empire, China must take into account India's likelihood of launching an adventurism offensive against China's border. Therefore, China's nuclear arsenal must cater for pre-emptive strikes against India's nuclear launch pads and installations.

India has always been on the side of the US. Whatever they are threatening is nothing new. It would not make any difference.

When the Indians open their mouths, they would talk until China disappears.

That is how good they are at talking and winning wars. Everything they have are the best. China's no good, obsolete, cannot work....just like the Americans and the West.

Now they want to boycott Chinese goods. Would they throw away their mobile phones? 90 percent of the Indians would no longer have a mobile phone.

Or they are going to buy Apples mobile phones?

Their active personnel only good to bully their own peasants by whacking them with batons and canes.

Tummies nearly reached the ground.

What's fantastic with 1,444,000?

Mostly half farked ducks as once bellowed by our Malay Regiment Instructors in SIRs.
