India is now approaching parliamentary elections in 2024. This election will determine whether the incumbent Prime Minister Modi remains in power. On the eve of the upcoming elections, India** and the Supreme Court went so far as to transfer Chinese territory to India in order to gain support in the elections. This act not only seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty, but also triggered a crisis in India. This article will describe in detail the unreasonableness of the Supreme Court of India and the petty calculations of India, as well as the purpose and possible consequences of India's move.
India's Supreme Court handed down two rulings on December 11, drawing widespread international attention. One of the rulings annulled Article 370 of the Indian Constitution regarding the political status of the Jammu and Kashmir regional "states". Another even more shocking ruling was the determination of the legitimacy of the so-called "Ladakh** Territory" of India** in Chinese territory. The Ladakh region is located in the Himalayas and is practically part of the territory of China. However, due to historical reasons, India forcibly occupied Ladakh and set up a so-called administrative system to maintain its control. The ruling of the Supreme Court of India is undoubtedly a blatant provocation and violation of China's territorial sovereignty. China immediately responded, firmly stating that China does not recognize the existence of the "Ladakh Territory".
In response to the ruling of the Supreme Court of India, the international community has commented one after another, criticizing India's unreasonable behavior. The Observer Network pointed out that the Ladakh region is the product of a dispute deliberately created by British colonists between China and India. India's actions on this sensitive issue are neither based on international law nor morally supported, and will inevitably not be recognized by the international community and neighboring countries. Some commentators have suggested that India's provocative actions may be aimed at gaining support in the upcoming elections. This kind of scheming is clearly lacking in long-term consideration, because spurring China to improve its own election has long been a tactic abandoned by Western countries.
As the ruling party, the BJP is desperate to win next year's parliamentary elections. However, due to the chaotic situation in the north-eastern region, Modi's performance in power has been questioned. In order to change this situation and win the approval of the population, Modi needs to show his tough stance. Therefore, the transfer of Chinese territory to India has become one of Modi's means of pleasing nationalist sentiments.
However, such provocations against China will not work. In the past, Western stimuli against China have not hindered China's development, and India's approach would not have been different. As India's ruling party, the BJP should pay more attention to improving the happiness and living standards of the Indian people. Otherwise, they will not only not be able to avoid the fate of depravity, but will also face criticism and ridicule from future generations.
It is worth noting that India's behaviour has also damaged India's diplomatic credibility. The international community has criticized India's provocative behavior, believing that India is knowingly creating contradictions between China and India. Such behaviour does not contribute to the maintenance of peace and stability in the region or to enhance India's image in the international community.
In response to the actions of India** and the Supreme Court, we need to think carefully and respond appropriately. First of all, as Chinese people, we must resolutely safeguard China's territorial sovereignty and not allow any country to infringe on our territorial integrity. We need to make clear China's position and viewpoint to the international community through diplomatic channels and win the support of more countries.
Secondly, we need to remain calm and rational and not be swayed by India's provocative actions. China has a stable political and social environment and enjoys a good reputation in the international community. We should believe that justice and truth will eventually triumph over ** and lies. We should continue to treat India and other countries in a peaceful and friendly manner and maintain peace and stability in the region.
Finally, we must firmly believe that China's development will not be provoked by any country and stagnate. China has made tremendous achievements in development and has strong strength in the economy, science and technology, and international affairs. We must maintain our determination and self-confidence, actively promote the development of the country, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the country.
To sum up, the provocative actions of India** and the Supreme Court are a serious violation of China's territorial sovereignty, and it is also a consideration of India's interests in order to win the support of voters. However, such actions will not work and will only further undermine India's diplomatic credibility and international image. As Chinese people, we must resolutely safeguard China's territorial integrity, while remaining calm and rational and believing in the power of justice and truth. We must also continue to promote China's development and strive for the great rejuvenation of the country.
