The United States has always wanted to maintain its hegemonic position in the world, and in order to achieve this goal, it does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of other countries and even provoke wars and conflicts. NATO is a tool of the United States, although its existence has no historical significance, but the United States has always regarded it as a ** against Russia and China.
After Biden took office, he stepped up his containment of China, trying to win over China's neighboring countries and forces to form a so-called "NATO +" organization, in order to build an anti-China alliance in the Asia-Pacific region. Among them, the United States values India the most, because India is a country with a large population, economic development, and strong military strength, and it has a long history and territorial disputes with China.
However, the good intentions of the United States have not been echoed by India. On June 9 this year, India's S Governor S Jaishankar officially announced that India would not join the US-led "NATO +" organization, and also mocked the United States that NATO is just a way for the United States to see the world and is not suitable for India.
Why, then, did India refuse the invitation of the United States?What is the underlying reason behind this?Next, let's analyze it.
First of all, we need to understand that India's rejection of the United States is not because of how friendly it is to China or how much it adheres to the principle of independent diplomacy, but because it has its own interests and considerations.
India is now led by Modi, a very shrewd politician who knows how to play power tricks internationally and how to seek benefits between different countries. He will not easily form an alliance with any country, nor will he easily break with any country, and his goal is to maximize the benefits of India in all aspects.
Especially in the current Russia-Ukraine conflict, India has found a huge business opportunity, that is, to import a large amount of oil from Russia, and then resell it to European and American countries, making huge profits from it. According to statistics, India now imports 20 to 40 times the amount of oil from Russia equivalent to India's normal demand, which shows how high India's gains in this war are.
Therefore, India is unwilling to offend Russia and join the "NATO+" organization of the United States, because this will damage India's economic interests and will also affect India's strategic cooperation with Russia, after all, NATO's main goal is still aimed at Russia, not against China.
Of course, this is not to say that the US "NATO +" organization does not pose a threat to China, in fact, this organization has absorbed many countries in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, etc., these countries are traditional allies of the United States, and their participation will undoubtedly increase China's pressure in the Asia-Pacific region, and will also counterbalance Russia in the Far East.
So, from this point of view, India's refusal is good news for China and Russia, at least reducing a potential enemy, and it can also hit the arrogance and self-confidence of the United States.
Second, we should note that the game between China and the United States is entering a white-hot stage, and China's hardline attitude has made the United States feel unprecedented challenges, and it has also put the United States in a difficult situation in the Western Pacific.
Recently, there have been two direct confrontations between the Chinese and US militaries in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, which is a very clear signal that the contradictions between China and the United States have escalated to a new level.
Whether it was in the South China Sea, our fighter planes drove away US reconnaissance planes, or in the Taiwan Strait, our army's guided missile destroyer Suzhou demonstrated our determination to the US-Canada joint fleet, and both made the international community see China's strength and self-confidence, and also greatly reduced the voice and influence of the United States, and the balance of power between China and the United States is also changing.
This is something that everyone can see.
This change has also affected the attitudes of other countries, especially the major regional powers such as India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, etc., which, like China and Russia, are dissatisfied with US hegemony and want to stand tall, but do not dare to clash with the US head-on because of their own lack of strength. The situation is different now.
On the one hand, the United States lost the war in Ukraine, it led more than 30 countries, exhausted all means, but failed to defeat Putin, but allowed Russia to take the initiative, which made the United States and the West lose face.
On the other hand, the game between China and the United States is also very fierce, and we have resisted the provocations of the United States in the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and other places, and we have also launched fierce competition with the United States in terms of finance and finance.
At present, it seems that China's countermeasures have achieved certain results, and it has also found the weakness of the United States, and Biden's top leaders have recently been trying to find a way to resume high-level communication with China, which shows that they have realized the importance of China.
As the country that is most steered by the wind, India can of course see clearly the changes in the international situation and understand the real purpose of the United States in wooing them.
Modi knows very well that Biden only wants to use India against China, they don't care about India's survival at all, they just want to mess with India.
mess with the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and the Americans will not really help India, they will only add fuel to the fire behind the scenes, selling and selling**.
Modi will not be fooled by this, he is a monkey monkey monkey politician, he knows the tricks of the Americans, he will not easily go to war with China, nor will he easily break off diplomatic relations with Russia, he will play a balanced game in the middle, he wants to get economic and military support from the United States, and he also wants to get energy and ** from Russia, and he also wants to maintain a certain amount of cooperation and exchanges with China in order to divert contradictions and improve his image at home. Therefore, we cannot expect too much from India's statement this time, nor can we think that India will completely change its stance on China. It's impossible.
Because the current relationship between China and India is very complicated.
On the one hand, there are long-term historical and territorial problems between the two countries, and behind India there are two countries behind India, Britain and the United States, which have always wanted to use these problems to sow discord between China and India and create turmoil in Eurasia.
As long as this issue is not resolved, India will from time to time use this issue to provoke China as a way to satisfy their nationalist and expansionist desires, which is also their usual trick.
On the other hand, we must also realize that the United States is not only containing China at the military level, but also has carried out in-depth layout at the economic level.
Especially in recent years, the United States and Japan have joined forces to try to build a new global industrial chain, excluding China and making India the next world factory, which is a huge threat to China's economic development.
This invisible war is more dangerous than a military platform like NATO+, which adopts the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water and wants to quietly weaken China's economic power, which we must be wary of. Of course, we don't have to worry too much.
After all, China's entire industrial chain is the result of years of hard work and accumulation, and it cannot be replaced overnight, and China's concept of a community with a shared future for mankind and the Belt and Road Initiative have also won the world's recognition and support, and more and more developing countries, including some traditional allies of the United States, such as Australia and France, are actively embracing China.
In short, through the statement of Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, we can see the complexity of the great changes in a century, and we can also see that China can only become a successful person in this great change if it is fully prepared.
