Instead of focusing on China's failing economy, Xi's strategy is to challenge the strongest global player (the US) and the strongest regional adversary (India).
Xi also spoke of 'sinicisation' of Tibetan Buddhism, which broadly refers to bringing non-Chinese communities under the Chinese culture & political system pursued by the CPC.
Hitler felt if he did not move fast, the allies would become powerful. Perhaps China feels the need to move fast before their population goes into decline.
President Xi Jinping said he will strengthen legislation, supervision and long-term mechanisms to tackle the problem. Food prices in China climbed about 10% in July from a year earlier.
Xi Jinping wants obedient clients, not independent partners. Galwan had to be the place where it finally dawned on India that ties with China are only possible with military strength.
The survey found that 73 per cent of Americans had an unfavourable view of China and 77 per cent have little or no faith in President Xi to do the right thing.
Speaking on ThePrint's 'Off the Cuff', international relations scholar Fareed Zakaria said these strategic miscalculations by Xi Jinping have worked against China.
After Mike Pompeo posted photo of his dog with Winnie the Pooh toy, social media users suggested he was mocking China President Xi. He later denied allegation.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Indians are good in talking and bullshit on TV which cannot resolve any real world problem. India is economically bankrupt and it has zero support from any neighbour. Its time Indian try to think and introspect a bit. Number of people doesn’t matter if you don’t have quality. India with its current racist and uneducated bjp is responsible for this crisis. And its lesson that if you put idiots and assholes at the top,you will suffer and face misery
‘india trying to take advantage of china and trumps usa INFIGHTING.’
India today is run by delusional ‘Hindu nationalists’ called the BJP who are more into infighting within India. They are into creating Hindu-Muslim conflict to win elections.
They are not clever enough to take advantage of ‘China and trumps usa INFIGHTING.’
I am neutral observer from South East Asia.what I am seeing is opportunistic india trying to take advantage of china and trumps usa INFIGHTING.
If to take on China effectively, what is required is strong will by India. And that is lacking. Suppose if there is war between China and US, Japan may side US, Russia may be neutral. But I doubt if India has the guts to join US led front. At the most we will preach restrain from both sides.
There will be no war between the US and China – both are nuclear powers. The US fights only weaker powers.
It wasn’t just the Congress. Who met Xi 16 times in 4 years hoping to get investments from CHina ?
Modi made the same mistakes as all the others.
As far as aggressive moves go, UPA was just as active as BJP:
Guess when the 4 forward airfields in Ladakh were operationalised ? Between 2008 and 2013
Guess when the Atal tunnel under the Rohtang Pass was started ? 2010.
Guess when the Daulet Beg Oldie road construction started ? before 2013
Guess when two Mountain Dvns for NE were raised with 30000 fighters ? Between 2008 and 2011.
Guess when SU 30 fighters were deployed at forward airfields in NE ? Before 2013.
But guess who is taking the credit for all this?
You guessed right.
Finally some sense is dawning in India on how to handle China with a muscular policy and diplomacy. Sucessive congress governments in the centre was prostrating before Chinese praising their civilization looking for peanuts to be thrown across the border in the name of foreign investment for producing cheap diapers, toys and other useless chinese goods that was only draining the small and medium sector companies in India. Instead of developing local talent and resources for such items the lazy bunch of economic crooks were importing everything strengthing china and weakening India in the process. I can understand if you are importing high value sophisticated items but for that you have to go to USA or Russia or Europe not China. We do not need toys, ganapati idols imported from China. Shame on you India if you don’t buy your own products and then complain we have enemy staring at the border. Better late than never India should learn this lesson that India China is not bhai-bhai and Nehru idea is wrong and obsolete. Stand up and stand tall or perish. If you allow Chinese to come in they will be near the TN border soon and there won’t be a country to keep.

Modi was touching Xi’s feet, he visited China 16 times, he stood with folded hands for FDI (for Gujarat). Modi coined the cringeworthy acronym ‘STREANH’ (he meant STRENGTH) to describe Indo-China relationship.
Whether it is Congress or BJP, it is clear Hindus cannot compete with China. You can fight within India against minorities, but that does not help you with China.
All the 5 Security Council permanent members, America, England, France, Russia n China have a plan to Finish India, Economically n Militarily. America n China Trade War or Biological War is nothing but indirectly Finishing India totally, America being the Friend n China being the Enemy. Modiji should have been Neutral in International Affairs not siding fully with America, India should tilt towards China n Russia will really support us. Modiji n Jaishankar’s foreign policy has failed. It will cost India dearly.

Agree with you fully.
Indians over estimate their ability, for face saving. Many are delusional. The BJP is indeed responsible for this crisis.
