New Delhi: China believes the US wants to “woo New Delhi” and “create an illusion” that Washington and other Western countries will support India in case of a confrontation as tensions remain high at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) near the Galwan river valley in Ladakh.
For the first time since 1975, both sides engaged in a violent face-off Monday in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed.
“The US wants to woo New Delhi and create an illusion that India has the back of the US and other Western countries. India’s importance in the US strategic chessboard is proportional to how the US views China as a threat,” said an article in the Global Times, a leading English daily in China, by reporter Yu Ning.
The article, titled ‘Washington feeds off New Delhi’s impulsiveness’, said the “hawkish forces in India have become increasingly impulsive and irrational in provoking conflict with China, partly resulting from US instigation and encouragement.”
It added, “Don’t forget, the US has also unscrupulously accused India of violating human rights … The US will exploit every possible chance to encourage India to act on US interests, but chess pieces manipulated by the US may not achieve what they hope for.”
This comes after the White House said Wednesday the Trump administration is closely watching the developments between India and China in the Galwan Valley, but had no plans to mediate between the two countries.

‘China can’t be left out of Indo-Pacific strategy’
Another piece in Global Times, which is considered to be backed by the Chinese government, states that the US plans to “use” India to “contain” Beijing.
“The US regards India as a key country of the Indo-Pacific Strategy. It wants to use India to contain China. Although India’s China policy has long had a tough side, New Delhi’s principle of strategic autonomy is contrary to the ‘America First’ policy,” wrote Qian Feng, director at the National Strategy Institute at Tsinghua University in Beijing, in Global Times.
However, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2018 Shangri-La Dialogue speech in June 2018, Qian also mentioned that India has publicly stated that the Indo-Pacific cannot be seen as an exclusive club excluding China.
The opinion piece also said not just India but Japan, which is another important player in the Indo-Pacific strategy, will not be in a position to accept US’s actions against China on trade and other matters.

China is day dreaming in there on written script and there own censored media which only talks good about themself. Chinese people never know what is freedom of expression and freedom of speech they are slave of there govt. Nobody ever talks aganist there govt even if they kill or rape there own people. There is sincerity in democracy which China dont have. China is very weak and corrupt inside they hide everything if anyone talks truth they will be killed nobody can question Chinese govt. We saw how china killed there own doctor who talked truth about Chinese virus back in Dec. Chinese govt is a cancer to the world they brainwash there people becoz if democracy comes in China then there corrupt communist leaders will lose powers they are holding. All communist leaders are super rich and running many business all fully corrupt. One day chinese people will wakeup and fight aganist there govt like whats happening in Hong Kong.
Don’t be cheated by Indian media, it is OK for India to build the road near the border, but India should not build the road across the LAC of China.
Remember what happened in 2017? India army acrossed the real border into Chinese territory just because China build the road in its own land, or at least in its LAC with Buhdan.
Does India really want to be a enemy against China? If India wants to be a gaint, the peace with the neighbor is a must.
GT can say whatever, we know the facts ourselves, don’t we? Whether, US is showing reluctance or Russia is not committing, point and fact is INDIA is loosing territory and soldiers. India is loosing in trade and its potential of youngsters is working for Chinese companies. Fact is also, that if you ban these Chinese products tomorrow, people will find another jugad sooner, not if they have a ready option available. It may not be true for some items where we will end up paying much more today but eventually market WILL BOUNCE BACK. As for negative sentiments and journalism, well other side of the coin that come together. But India will be positioned much better in coming years. Our history suggest, we don’t shy from starting again. But we should not take it lying low. This is BHARAT of Bhagat Singh as much it is of Gandhi. Sometimes we give other cheek but at other times, we go and destroy opponent too.
Simple question, if not today then WHEN is the right time? How much more can we loose and keep quite. When do you think it will STOP. On the contrary, If we ACT world will follow. Leaders are examples and world is missing one clear leader that XI is trying to fill. Opposition to BRI was a bright spot where INDIA stood and lead from the front and GLOBE followed later. Chinese encroachment is by design and for immediate future goal, we should be wary of letting them go unscathed. Infact it should be a deep cut, that even if they dare, they tremble. Technology and weapons we too have, and we can overwhelm them.
With regard to other opportunist country and vassal state, give clear indication that we will clean them up if it comes to it so that the focus remains on CHINA.
CHINA THINKS THEY ARE THE SMARTEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET EARTH AND OTHERS ARE STUPID. INFACT FEW DAYS BACK I WAS CAREFULLY ASESSING BETWEEN USA AND CHINA…… US CORPORATION THOUGHT THEY GOT LUCRATIVE DEAL AS CHINA WAS WILLING TO MANUFACTURE EVERYTHING FOR THEM AND FOR THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AT A FRACTION OF PRICE…….USA THOUGHT THEY GOT THE BEST DEAL BY GIVING CONTRACTS TO FIRMS IN CHINA.
TODAY, LETS SAY AFTER 35-40 YEARS…..I WONDER IF YOU CALCULATE ALL THE PAST 40 YEARS BENEFIT OR PROFITS THAT AMERICAN COMPANIES MADE BY CHINA VS THE COVID 19 AND NUMBER OF INNOCENT AMERICANS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES………..IT HAS BECOME SO MUCH CLEAR THAT THE 40 YEAR ACCUMULATED PROFIT BY US COMPANIES IS NO MATCH TO NUMBER OF LIVES LOST…….
BY THAT I MEAN, CHINA DOESNT NEED TO GIVE US LECTURES ANYMORE ABOUT WHO IS GOOD OR BAD FOR US, WHO IS USING AND NOT USING INDIA AGAINST THEM……. IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU TAKE YOUR MONEY BACK WITH YOU TO CHINA AND SHUT DOWN EVERY DAMN COMPANIES OF YOURS.
WE HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU BUT WE JUST DONT FEEL LIKE BUYING ANYTHING FROM YOU……… ITS LIKE A MOTORIST KEEP ON BREAKING RED LIGHTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND IS TELLING COPS THAT WHY SHOULD I STOP AT THE RED LIGHT…… RED LIGHT SHOULD WAIT FOR ME AND IT SHOULD BE TURN RED ONLY AFTER MY VEHICLE IS PASSED!
Look at the client states of China & the Debt trap. You will know it better.
@FakeNewsLeaderGlobalTimea, we don’t need US help to fight your demonic army. Think about who will save you from the wrath of Indian forces.
There is a sudden increase in number of articles speaking in China’s voice on The Print – it becomes evident with each passing day who are those people are who have sold their integrity to China.
