America playing India against China, with India a willing pawn of the USA

 Trying to rule China or force it down is no longer a possibility. It is today beyond the capability of the USA and its Anglo Saxon White's clique to do so in their wildest dream.

When China was at its weakest point during the Opium War, and the West was at its peak of power, the Eight Nation Alliance of Whites and Japan attempted to tear China up into their sphere of influence. This was like the breaking up of the former Soviet Union, with many of the Soviet satellite states now becoming members of the EU and Nato, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the attempt to tear up China failed to materialise. Five thousand years of history and experience in survival and revival is not that easy to be taken down by a group of nations, some of whom are no more than mere juveniles, with just a few hundred years of existence.

Now, if the USA and the West thinks China is going to be another Soviet Union waiting to be torn down, they are terribly mistaken. China has the military deterrent and the financial strength to compete with the USA plus its allies. Besides that, the most important deterrent is that China and Russia are now geopolitical allies, unlike the days when China stilll had a history of border conflicts with Russia, affording the USA and the West an opportunity to capitalise on those issues, knowing China and Russia will never come together against the West. Heaven works in mysterious ways indeed, with China and Russia now closer than ever.

Making hay while the sun shines, while countries are still at loggerheads by the way, is exactly being reactivated by the USA today, cultivating India to confront China, knowing that these two countries have border disputes to settle and are ripe for the USA to capitalise on those issues, by prodding and instigating India against China. What is most to China and Russia in BRICS is India playing both sides of the chessboard, one foot in QUAD and the other foot in BRICS. The Chinese saying that 'a thief in the house is the most difficult job to prevent theft from happening'.

The USA thinks that by refraining from dictating issues, or discussing pertaining to human rights in India, will purportedly buy over India's allegiance. This does not escape the eyes of the rest of the world. The Muslims are not fooled and the Chinese are even less likely to be fooled. Practicing double standards will not work and puts the USA credibility in even worse state. Not that the USA has an iota of credibility left that is worth salvaging.
