Read this thread of 8th June and know what and how long term their plans are - see make up of geopolitical world is such that there are only 2 or 3 slots available in mutltipolar world with US as a constant and both India and China can’t be there at the same time. https://twitter.com/alok_bhatt/status/1269813170220269568
So either India or China will have a dominant position in the world order. That talk of multipolar world is the biggest bull crap thrown around- as there can’t be multiple power centres in the world. If India has to come up, Chinese fall must come.
China may be a commie country but in a way it is a larger subset of Pak-where an army has a county to govern- no wonder both find common cause in each other. PLA has a country and it is a rag tag coalition of commissars, commies, militia and faux drawn from single child families
If you don’t go for China, they will come for u- it is a race of survival of the fittest. Our biggest problem until now has been the ghost of 1962 but events since Galwan has been of great help as it has actually made forces get into action. It is not abt capability but faith
China is doubly scared than us- their decade old policy of salami slicing has finally found a match in @adgpi’s strategic use of forces for calibrated “readjustment”. Yes for way too long, we were in the awe of an adversary but not anymore & @narendramodi at helm makes all diff!
Folks need to go and study the changes PLA carried out after Xitler came to power in their PLA set up, as also their 3 tier commissar system besides creation of their 5 theatre commands. Belt road was part of that entire change and both feed each other.
Chinese model of dealing with its adversaries has following key elements-
1) Slow boil conflicts: they never settle disputes with principal adversaries as it helps them follow what is called “creeping acquisition” in investment parlance - like a rogue trader.
2. They will always leverage your innate strength of being a democracy - things that u take pride in and blame them to subvert. So while their ambassador will get time slot on our TV, ours can’t even get a statement published in People daily.
3. They use ur openness to hit you. https://twitter.com/alok_bhatt/status/1304985695744737283
4. They will leverage their connection to hit us at crucial juncture - like leveraging trade union connections to force strikes, using environment lobbies to force suspension of road n infra projects. Happened with Chardham road recently and with OFB strike as well!
5. They will use journos- opinion makers and editor to keep reminding you of 1962 drubbing, bad economy and Covid situation. Note how none of those naysayers will Qn China abt its role in all 3 matters. It is no rocket science that lockdown caused slowdown and economy will b back
6. Next element of their strategy is using opposition and anti Modi forces to create fissures in the society. Likes of Swamy represent this element of their strategy else how can a man with such continuously shifting views be so constant abt China for decades- he is their man!
7. Next key element of their strategy is to economically strangulate you by flooding your markets in the name of cheap products. This is where PM @narendramodi ‘s #AatmaNirbharBharat scheme is handy. We need to reignite the manufacturing in the country.
8. Imagine giving them $ 60 billion worth of trade surplus year after year after year.This has happened coz of greed of our own folks as well as that decade of decay (2004-14). And this calls for a completely diff approach-good thing is that PM Modi is doing all readjustments
9. Lastly, on China, we need to come to the view that either one of us will exist in our present shape and form and that one will only be India. Everything we plan, execute and deliver on must be carried out with that approach. MEA babus and their Nehruvian era ideas can wait!
Endnote : Sooner Indian establishment accepts the fact that China and India cannot rise together peacefully, better it will be for us and will help contain China. Our objective must be to force the disintegration of China in time and Quad alliance must target that!
