Pax Indo-Pacifica and the Quad - Implications for Asean

 

Regarding Ladakh conflict, PM Modi already admitted at his congress speech on Jun 19, 2020 that China did not enter into territories of India but Indian soldiers entered territories of China in Jun. That is why in June Indian soldiers were beaten by China soldiers (about 23 Indian soldiers fell into the river so died of coldness). India invaded China's territories so started the conflict. This was the truth. 
 
In the same way as the Americans spreading wild and baseless lies against China as expansionist and aggressive to stoke hate against China and Chinese, and using it as an excuse to smear China and incite fear of China, India is copying the same trick to smear China to cover its aggressive nature and intent to covet Chinese land. By pointing an accusing finger at China, the Indians took the opportunity to send more troops and tanks into the border area, attacking Chinese positions when China did nothing and said nothing.
 
The cockiness and aggressive Indians are best manifested by a stupid and brazen colonel marching into a Chinese camp, tore down the tents and burnt them.  Can you believe that? What was this Indian colonel thinking inside his head?  Behaving like English raj roughing up Chinese soldiers as if they were Indian subjects? This led to a brawl and many of the Indian soldiers were chased into the nearby freezing river.  They eventually died of cold, including the arrogant Indian colonel.  And despite such hostile behaviour on their part, they, like Trump, just spread lies about China as aggressive and wanting to conquer India.  As I said before, why would China want to invade this piece of shit land to invite more trouble? What is there in India that is worthy of invading when such an act would end up in endless warfare? China has enough land and does not need another inch of Indian soil. It is the Indians that think whatever the British rajs took from China during the height of the British Empire must also belong to India. They knew and the whole world knew that the British simply wrote away Chinese land as part of the British Empire when China was weak and powerless to object or to fight back.
 
The intent of the Indians were crystal clear. Such lies and allegations were just an excuse to cover their ambitious and aggressive designs. Their grand plan is not only about taking over Chinese land, also about making Nepal and Tibet their protectorates. And this is not all, think of the concept of Pax Indo-Pacifica. India thinks and wants to be a super power and think of a hegemonic empire with the US over the whole region from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

India is now actively courting Japan, Australia and the USA to formalise a military alliance through the Quad. It regards itself as an equal partner among the four nations to rule the Indo Pacific region or Pax Indo-Pacifica. 

In pushing for this ambitious goal of regional hegemony, India totally ignores the existence of the Asean states. It sees itself as a big power and in collaboration with the US, Japan and Australia, the Indian will rule the two oceans, not just the Indian Ocean.  Indians have no respect for the Asean states, thinking and behaving like a big power.

Where would this put the Asean states? Asean, with big brother Indonesia, have been very quiet about the ambitious Quad hegemony, the new Imperial power to rule over them. Would Asean welcome a new military alliance as the regional power in the region, the heartland of Asean states? Did the Quad members ever consider the interest and feelings of the Asean states and whether Asean states would welcome the new overlord meekly and submissively?

What audacity for India to want to be the hegemonic power of the Indo Pacific region and inviting the Americans, Japanese and Australians to lord over the Asean states? The Indians are drunk by their deluded sense of greatness and completely ignore the existence and sensitivity of the Asean states and the Asean people as if they don't exist or did not matter.

PS.  Happy Deepavali to Indian brothers and sisters.

  1. Even after the elextion loss by his boss,US SOS Mike Pompeo was speaking like a Mafia boss saying they were not finished with China yet. This may be a signal of things to cone- to create a crisis and even war with China so that Trump can continue to rule on emergency powers.After all this fat lard did say he's ready to a smooth transition-to Trump second term. And true to form, he just commented' that Taiwan is not part of China stoking fire at their core interest.
    With 2 months to go before the next US adminstration, there is still lot of harm, mischief and sabotage that can be done by him and this adminstratuon. Just wait and see.

  2. We are very worried about India's covert influence in Singapore as we note the ease with which they flood their nationals into Singapore's PMET jobs market and the continued suction of Singapore reserves as investments into their economy despite the investment losses already suffered.

  4. How many, besides his supporters, believe in what Trump does, says and claims?

    Over the last four years, Trump's decisions have been based on conjecture, unsupported claims and merely clutching at straws, nothin concrete to prove. Did Mexico pay for the wall? Did he win the trade war, which he claims is so easy to win? Who pays for the increased tariffs impose on China? Americans are paying for their folly of believing in him.

    After more than two years of hammering Huawei, is there a shred of proof to back up his claims of national security risk? Now, every Chinese company in his warp mind is a security risk for the USA. Snakes are naturally suspicious and will raise it's ugly heard ready to strike at the slightest tinge of threat.

    After two years of touting his warp speed in developing the COVID19, he now comes up with another conjecture that the vaccine will be ready by next April! How many times has he given false hope about the vaccine since early 2020, then late 2020 with his beautiful vaccine, then his claim that a vaccine will be ready before November 3rd, which has come and gone, and now clutching at straws, claiming a vaccine is coming out by next April. This shows the USA is not at warp speed developing a vaccine, while others are already at 3rd stage trials.

    Trump is intent on creating as many mine fields and time bombs for Biden, albeit there are now indications that he is ready to concede, as some sources claim. But do not be taken in because Trump's decision is always on the spur of the moment. When he is not sober or on enhancing drugs and hallucinating, he will say nasty things and when he wakes up he backtracks, using his 'Art of the deal' tactics. All conman baloney and nothing else.

    Poor Biden. His Presidency is not going to be fun, unravelling all the mine fields and time bombs. I wonder whether he can do much, now that age is catching up fast with him. Kim will have him for breakfast, like what he did to Trump.

  5. If kena ruled by Indians, days will be dark like night.

    They will export the caste system and you have to imagine what will become of other races. They will be below the untouchables. They may even become the unsightables. But makes no difference because all will be dark and invisible.

    India is now stirring up conflict with Pakistan. They think Pakistan is easy meat. Now China has another friendly front against the Indians. And not to forget Kashmir! India thinks the USA will come over and become their next 'Sahib'. That will be Karma.

  6. Australia wants to be the USA sheriff in ASEAN/Pacific region. But Indonesia is not there for nothing. One spit each from the Indons into the Australian spittoon and it will sink like the Titanic. Overfed Hog Pompeo is trying to sway the Indons, probably to pacify them over the Australian agenda.

    Over in South American, Brazil is the de facto USA sheriff of that continent. That is as clear as light.

    Now India is trying to be the USA sheriff in South Asia. But big powers like China, Pakistan and Iran are not there to sit and watch. India is sore with Iran for giving China development projects that they thought was all theirs to take. But Iran is at loggerheads with the USA, so do you think the hard headed Iranians will favour the USA stooges over China?

    In Europe, Germany is not too keen at this juncture to be the USA sheriff over there and it is the UK vying for that position. But then Trump has bee ruffling lots of feathers across Europe with tariffs and sanctions (over the Nord Stream 2 project), although Whites will still side with Whites in the final count.

    In Africa, the USA is cultivating the ground aggressively, spreading accusations that China's development projects will be a debt trap. What trap has the IMF and World Bank been setting all these decades for poor countries, albeit with no development projects in sight but all to buy arms from the USA.

  7. The Indians have been living this big power dream for so long and have no respect for any country in Asean. They see Indonesia as a poor and weak state.

    If Indonesia were to work with China and apply the Chinese economic model, it would turn itself into another regional economic power and would easily rival India.

    Indonesia has announced that they would be using Chinese vaccine in December to vaccinate its population. Indonesia would go bankrupt if they have to buy western vaccine to do so, and with many strings attached.

  8. Trump is a businessman. He is using the remaining times of his term to rake in more money. Everything is on sale like Robinson closing down sales. Many medals of honours are on sales to the world citizens. For his own people, positions in the cabinet are all on the table. The recent one is the Defence secretary post which was sold to a new secretary. Even Mike Pompei post can be on offered if price is right. Ha ha money is king.

  10. The USA is the most corrupt country in the world - the judiciary, the police, the administration right down the line. Only thing is all this filth was never allowed to float to the surface. Either covered up, put down with overwhelming force, or witnesses just disappear. What we see are just the tip of the iceberg that just happens to float by. The real America we can never expect to see.

  11. Mike Pompeo will be without a job soon. Maybe he would apply to be part of Singapore strategic adviser? Singapore needs someone like this guy to bolster the " Singapore Image " around the world.

  12. Pakistan Says It Has Evidence of India Sponsoring Terrorism Attacks

    Pakistan on Saturday said India was sponsoring “terrorism” aimed at destabilizing the country and targeting its economic partnership with China, accusations that top Pakistani officials delivered at a dramatic press conference. Pakistani officials said they had prepared a mountain of evidence to back up the charges against their South Asian rival.

    In a joint press conference in the capital of Islamabad, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, along with military spokesman Maj Gen. Babar Iftikhar, said that Indian intelligence agents were operating out of neighboring Afghanistan to plan attacks within Pakistani borders.

    “India was allowing its land to be used against Pakistan for terrorism,” said Qureshi, adding that New Delhi was also planning attacks from “neighboring countries”.

    Qureshi said Pakistan is sending its evidence to the United Nations demanding India be censured, warning that “without international intervention it is difficult to guarantee peace in nuclear South Asia,” a region where both India and Pakistan possess nuclear weapons.

    “We have irrefutable facts that we will present before the nation and international community through this dossier,” the minister claimed.

    The presser comes a day after Pakistan's military said five civilians and an army soldier were killed by shelling from Indian troops across the highly militarized border that separates the Pakistani and Indian sides of Kashmir.

    Iftikhar, who heads the media and public relations office for Pakistan's armed forces, presented some of the dossier's evidence purporting to show India's involvement in attacks within Pakistan, including bank receipts showing funding and photos showing alleged perpetrators of attacks inside the Indian consulate in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

    He also played an audio clip purporting to record a conversation between an Indian intelligence official and Allah Nazar, who is the top leader of Baluch separatist insurgents in southwest Pakistan.

    Iftikhar added that Indian intelligence agents were especially targeting Chinese development projects that have come with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

    He alleged that the attackers who led a deadly assault on a luxury hotel in the southwestern city of Gwadar in May 2019, were in telephone contact with Indian intelligence handlers before and during the assault. Chinese companies operate the Pakistani city's key port facilities and it is considered a keystone of major Pakistani-Chinese trade projects.

    The military spokesman also accused India of sponsoring banned organizations including U.N.-designated terrorist groups Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, and Allah Nazar's Baluch Liberation Army.

  13. India is not in the OBOR initiative by choice, so it will be left out of the rapid developments across Central Asia. It will cost them heavily! They want revenge.

    Remember, India is an ally of the evil empire and the evil one is already trying ways and means to throw spanners into the Chinese backed OBOR project. What better way than to borrow a sword to kill the enemy.

    And the hands of the USA will be clean as a whistle and their look will be angelic as always. They have nothing to do with the sabotage by India. Using the CIA directly, which is their normal modus operandi, will be too risky. Not that the CIA is not already behind the Indian move.

    They say that evil breeds more evil.

  15. India masterminded Belt and Road attacks

    KARACHI -- Pakistan will present a dossier to the United Nations of evidence it claims shows India supporting terrorist attacks on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a key component in Chinese President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative, the government said Saturday.

    This dossier, which consists of letters, photos, audio and video clips, was shared during a news conference conducted by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar, the spokesperson of Pakistan armed forces, in Islamabad.

    Qureshi said that since 2001, Pakistan has been the target of 19,130 terrorist attacks, causing 83,000 causalities and inflicting $126 billion in damage to the country's economy.

    "After 9/11, Pakistan was making sacrifices in blood and treasure, while India was busy laying terrorist networks using its own soil and the spaces in [Pakistan's] immediate neighborhood and beyond," Qureshi said.

    He added that Pakistan would present the dossier to the U.N., the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

    Qureshi further added that there is a clear correlation between the announcement of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC, and an increase in terrorist attacks in the country's southwest province of Balochistan.

    Saturday's news conference was the first instance where Pakistan publicly shared a dossier, claiming to contain "irrefutable evidence" of India's involvement in supporting terrorism in Pakistan.

    During the news conference, Iftikhar alleged that India has established a 700-member militia to sabotage CPEC in Pakistan. "Sixty million dollars were allocated for this militia and 10 operatives of [Research & Analysis Wing, or RAW] of India are among its decision-making commission," said Iftikhar, referring to India's intelligence agency.

    He also claimed to have evidence of a RAW officer, Anurag Singh, allegedly being the mastermind behind the 2019 terrorist attack on Pearl Continental Hotel in the port town of Gwadar, where $50 billion worth of Belt and Road projects are underway in Pakistan. He added that Indian operatives were directly involved in orchestrating the attack on Pakistan Stock Exchange in June, where Chinese companies have a 40% stake.

    Iftikhar also mentioned that India is funding the armed Baloch separatists under the cover of humanitarian work and Pakistan's security establishment has unearthed four such transactions of $23.35 million.

  16. Modi has to create a diversion to take off the pressure of the COVID19 problem. This guy is no simple guy. He knows how to con his supporters who are the really stupid ones, just like Trump doing the same with his own stupid supporters in the USA.

    But smart or not, COVID19 spares no effort to differentiate. Where there are opportunities, the virus will be there to pay a visit. How many waves before all this ends is anybody's guess.

    Some are on second, some even now on fourth. There is little indication it will end soon. Only Trump, based on conjecture, can tell us when it will be 'rounding the turn'. But then, his predictions have been more like 'rounding the merry go round'.

  18. The Indian mentality with respect to Pakistan is that it is the big power in South Asia and it reserves the right to punish Pakistan as and when it likes, the same kind of mentality of the American as the hegemonic world power, India the hegemon in South Asia.

    It would hit or attack Pakistan anytime it likes, it would threaten Pakistan anytime it likes.

    Imagine when the Pax Indo Pacifica comes into being, India will be calling the shot in between the two cieans and Asean would have to toe the line to India as the regional hegemon.

    Not even among the top economic power and yet already making a song and dance about being the hegemon. Calling the shots? India was aiming for a five trillion US$ economy but now had to settle for less than three trillion. Got money or not to call the shots?

  21. I can only imagine India becoming the regional hedgehog in ASEAN. Foraging in the undergrowth for bits and pieces.

    ASEAN just concluded a regional trade pact that is the biggest in the world, with the likes of China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Does ASEAN need the likes of India? India can't even improve the living standards of their own people, talk about trying to be the hegemon over the rest of ASEAN.

    Please look in the mirror!
