Another day, another newspaper w Chinese propaganda. A full-page ad on p. 3 @thehindu , which PRC embassy highlights as Indian mainstream media publishing a "special page" for CCP's 100th anniv. Do the biz side of papers realize they undermine their reporting side w this stuff?

China upends peace at border w India. India excludes Chinese cos. from 5G, imposes other tech, econ limits. 🇨🇳 shocked, says 🇮🇳 irrational. China sanctions Europeans, MEPs. MEPs vote to put investment deal with China on ice. 🇨🇳 shocked, says 🇪🇺 irrational.

You'd think some Indian analysts, who have cited Russia's support to India in 1971 as a reason to stand by Moscow, would understand why the US puts allies, who have fought alongside it, in a separate, more trusted category. This should not be a shocking revelation.

Ayub Yahya Zia Musharraf Munir Pakistan is one of those countries where, for all the talk of democracy promotion, the US has contributed to democracy dilution by engaging with the military more than civilians (even on non-defense matters).

It’s advisable for #India not to engage in US-China confrontation. If India becomes a US pawn attacking China in a #newcoldwar , the economic blow would be too much for the Indian economy to take amid #pandemic .

Is INC now ok with Russia infringing on India's strategic autonomy i.e. telling Delhi how to run its foreign policy? How does INC feel about Putin prioritizing the partnership w/ China & indeed proclaiming 🇷🇺 has helped strengthen the PLA? Nehru was not ok when 🇷🇺 did either.

🧵 A somewhat different thread today, in that it's a series of charts. There's been lots of discussion of the nature & extent of India's partnerships, especially vis-a-vis China, Russia, & the United States. So, I decided to compare some of the data on 🇮🇳's ties with 🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 1/

Indian diplomat "was explaining New Delhi’s opposition to the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-led intercontinental connectivity project, when her microphone went silent at the second UN Global Sustainable Transport Conference" organized by Beijing.

‘Technical glitch’ hits India’s strong response to China-led BRI at UN meet

At a United Nations transport conference in Beijing last, a “technical problem” temporarily silenced the participating Indian diplomat’s microphone when delivering the speech on BRI.

India's wolf warrior channels do this for domestic political purposes, but from a foreign policy perspective, this posturing is unseemly & unhelpful -- & not just w/r/t China. Talk n'hood policy all you want, but this - & fmr diplos' smts on these shows - will hurt India in Nepal

This bigotry also led to flawed assumptions by Ayub, Yahya & others about the military abilities of Indians broadly and Hindus in particular. Facts on the ground - incl the loss of East Pakistan - repeatedly proved them wrong but if you can't see beyond one prism, you never learn

Indian public has now seen tweets from Pakistani PM & Iranian FM; had offers of help from Russia & China -- i.e. even a country it has had hostilities with. It has not heard from any senior US officials. Biden admin is losing any goodwill it gained in last few months w Indians.
