China considers the Western world as the big bad wolf and its own poor citizens as victims. But Beijing's aggressive defence of the coronavirus pandemic is failing.
China has labelled as discriminatory India’s new FDI policy that mandates firms from ‘border-sharing nations’ to seek govt approval before making investments.
Satellite imagery shows China has made good progress in building roads, railways and bridges, besides new infrastructure at airports in Tibet in the aftermath of the Doklam stand-off with India in 2017.
Naidu attempts to shield aqua farmers after Trump’s tariff hits the shrimp farming sector in Andhra Pradesh, leading to the cancellation of 50% of the state's exports.
Company builds microsatellites that are smaller, faster, cheaper to produce. ICEYE will develop & launch micro-satellites, hand them over to India, which will have full control & sovereignty.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
China did much worse to Tibet than what was done to China. They play victim card as strategy,
They want India to support one China but wont support one India plus would do there utmost to encircle India.
They have never helped us and we are under no obligation to help them, let the anglo saxons and Chinese resolve between them self
In 1900 China is stating that countries looted its country and feels as if they are owed something? World War 2 Japan was slaughtering thousands of Chinese and who came to their rescue and perhaps saving China from total collapse? USA by ending the war entirely and saving who knows how many other lives by using the ultimate weapon and putting an end to World War 2. Perhaps the US and other nations should pull all its big tech companies out of China and allow China to take care of its own people. Without those companies how many people in China would be out of work? Ripping off thousands of dollars in intellectual theft from all these countries that do business with China and we owe you payment?
India traditionally does not take any firm stand in any international issues. India’s response has always been either silence or very generic reply. Even after such devastating death toll and global economic ruin, if India does not take firm and unequivocal stand, it would never be able to take stand ever. While Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) seems to be an umbrella support even for failed nations like Pakistan and Anglo-Saxon collaboration is very deep rooted, India truly has not even a single country in the world which will extend unconditional support of friendship or vouch for India.
It is necessary that India takes stand and that too firm stand. It is no more a poor vulnerable country but a large economic power with nuclear abilty too. We may be a Peace Power but responding on global issues on the basis of merit is necessary.
India’s China engagement is China favourable. Does it need need to be always so ? Who are we so afraid off.
Good article,India need to focus on covid19 containment and Zero on dependency from chinese supply chain.Post that India should take a stand as we suffer a lot due to chinese proxy war.
I am waiting for the day when Indian media become mature and confident and not pickup lines from western media. Modi’s India, India’s Modi? What is this. Govt. Of India, Modi cabinet, Modi govt., are more appropriate. I see mature readers on ThePrint however the articles are written by interns. Have some standards!
Why you people writes such headlines Modi s India as Pakistan dawn news does.Its is foolishness that you don’t know that your reader base is highly educated with all these tantrums.

Definitely its more mature not to jump the band wagon, but at the same time we need to weigh the historical Chinese response on India. China always sides with terrorist even when whole world supports us and even when facts are in our side. They will consider this as our weakness and continue the status quo. In this case it is obvious that the fault is with China and they must take the responsibility for spreading the pandemic around the world. Its intriguing that the Covid 19 spread far away places to every country around the globe but escapes the close by cities of Beijing and Shanghai
I wonder whether encouraging terming our Nation as Modi’s India the media is unwittingly fanning a divide. A elected Government in a democracy rules…whether one likes it or not. As a citizen and voter I would prefer my Government to be called the Central Government and State Government et al..
More responsibility is expected from media, experts and journalists
Being honest even common people like me feels this is His not Ours. I would like if you light up why disappeared the feelings of OURS?
Is this article incomplete or Jyoti is going to add the concluding part soon! As usual, she has merely listed a few quotes and events and given it a provocative title. But she did conduct her recent interview for The Print with Shyam Saran quite well thought after which there was indeed no reason to broach this topic at all through this article.
“Why Modi’s India won’t join US, France and….” – The usual double meaning headline…. implying fault with Modi.
So, obviously you are telling your readers that were Rahul-ji & his Mommy in charge, they would join US, France etc in blaming China? And thus show leadership & vision?
Rahul & Mom already are in China’s pocket! How can they blame China?
It is like onsided India-China relationship, China being rough side. India doesn’t talk or blame China and China takes India UN every time on Kashmir issue. India should have spine to be as aggressive as China. Also face masks and PPE, India should gear up our own capacity, rather than depending on third quality stuff from China.
I think why India is not joining the US and the West in blaming China must be correctly spelt out. It is a geographical necessity, having a common and disputed border with the Red Giant, which is militarily stronger and economically powerful. India does not want any trouble from Beijing. That is the reality. In international relations, it is might that is always right, whether one wishes or not. Chairman Mao said: Power stems out from the barrel of guns. That their cardinal policy.

It does not serve India’s abiding interests to move its already complex – diplomats generally do not use a word like adversarial – relationship with China to a higher orbit of confrontation. What would be truly naive is for us to believe rhetorical statements from visiting US Presidents that this will be the defining partnership of the 21st century. The US brooks no equal amongst either friends or foes. Ask yourself if MEA should become as devoted a client as the Australian foreign office. 2. China’s importance to India as an economic entity can only grow. We have allowed the asymmetry to develop too much to now realistically be seen in China’s league, although some are intent on moving India to the other neighbour’s league. A simple litmus test. Develop a relationship with China which we can handle all by ourselves. Not relying on the intervention of a friend on a dark, wet, windy night, who will turn up with a large black umbrella.

What do you mean by Modi’s India? Is it necessary?

Could we avoid referring to the Nation as Modi’s India.? Modi’s Cabinet etc…. are OK.
Thanks
