India has played a good hand of cards to a bad time, but China has turned a bad hand into an opportunity!The United States is fighting Russia with its left hand and China with its right hand, providing India with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many are excited about Modi's leadership and look to him to lead India on a path beyond the United States and China. However, while India has a rare strategic opportunity, it may be missed by Modi's short-sightedness and the arrogance of Indians.
First, instead of looking to the future, India is short-sighted in its pursuit of short-term benefits from the struggle between China, Russia and the West. Despite the massive influx of Western and Chinese capital into India, India has not seriously improved its infrastructure and retained foreign companies, but has taken short-sighted measures such as fines and strikes on companies such as Xiaomi and Wistron, which has led to the loss of foreign foreign companies. Secondly, Modi seems to have overestimated himself, humiliating Canada and demanding benefits from the United States on the one hand, and antagonizing Russia and China on the other.
A good hand was played badly by Modi, much to the disappointment of many Indians. On the contrary, in the face of Western sanctions, China has been calm and reserved, not only taking reasonable counterattacks against the United States, but also accelerating the pace of domestic industrial upgrading, and has made major breakthroughs in science and technology. At the same time, China stopped the war in the way of "not afraid of war, strength speaks", and although Japan, South Korea and the Philippines danced happily, China not only did not get involved in the war, but also took the opportunity to defend its sovereignty and deter some lawbreakers.
In the Russia-Ukraine war, China has skillfully maintained Sino-Russian relations, gaining access to markets such as the Far East and Central Asia. In the Kazakh-Israeli war, China stood on the side of justice, defended the power of the United States, and firmly spoke out for weak and small countries, winning the trust of the entire Middle East region, and the huge market in the Middle East was gradually opened up to China. Great nations are not measured by whose voice is the loudest, but by who can have the last laugh.
While China is using millennia of wisdom to turn seemingly unfavorable situations into opportunities, India is missing out on its advantage through its short-sighted strategy. It's a thought-provoking comparison, isn't it?
