According to India Today, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar recently made a series of statements on India-China relations, recent tensions between India and the Maldives and other topics, during which he said that it is necessary to recognize China's influence on India's neighbors, and New Delhi should welcome this competition and should not be afraid of China. Some people interpret this "remark" as a war against China, but Xiao Tie personally believes that this is a very wonderful speech, which should support healthy competition, encourage fair competition between countries in more fields, and confrontation is a means to promote development.
Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar First: In this conversation, Jaishankar mentioned that China will influence these countries in many ways, and global politics is a game of competition. You do what you can, and I will do what I can. And said India would do better. From an Indian's point of view, it doesn't seem surprising that his country would do better, right? Second, Jaishankar has repeatedly acknowledged China's influence and believes that it should be "done with all its might" to deal with it, which is a reasonable competitive attitude. To put it simply: China is trying to develop, and India has the "right" to work hard to develop, and this is a kind of competition but not a vicious competition with hostility.
China-India Relations No. 2: Jaishankar said: Don't complain that China is doing this, we shouldn't be afraid of competition. We should welcome competition and show that I am capable of competing. Personally, I believe that at present, countries should have this mentality of "daring to compete", instead of being like the United States, which is afraid that countries will develop and grow, and rack their brains to suppress and restrict each other. To a certain extent, we can understand that the United States is afraid of competition because they do not consider themselves "capable" to compete. In recent years, China-India relations have been very bumpy, so it is all the more important to call for healthy competition. For example, India's restriction of Chinese companies is a sign of "cowardice".
Third, the "attitude" of the Chinese side is also very clear, and before that, Mao Ning, a spokesman, had said: The Sino-Indian border issue, as an issue left over from history, should be properly handled in the appropriate position of bilateral relations, and the process of resolving the border incident should not affect the normal development of relations between the two countries. And in real economic activities, cooperation between China and India is also frequent.
In recent years, the border between the two countries has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and it is growing every year. This shows that China is not afraid of competition, but it does not like "malicious competition". As Jaishankar said, we should not be afraid of China, because we have no intention of engaging in vicious competition, and we also hope that the Indian leadership will truly understand that the benefits of "healthy competition" must be much higher than that of vicious competition.
Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar finally understood Jaishankar's "competition" statement on the Internet as a war against China, Xiao Tie personally did not agree with this argument, maybe there is indeed malicious competition on the Indian side, but Jaishankar's remarks show that there are also Indians who support healthy competition. India has many "problems" in dealing with its neighbors, such as the issue of troops in the Maldives and the issue of its border with China.
However, these problems should not affect the normal development of relations between the two countries, and we should solve problems when they exist, and we should not keep ourselves trapped in them. Personal opinion: Compared with the "encirclement, pursuit, and interception" of the United States and European countries, India's concept of open competition is worthy of recognition, and I hope that New Delhi can "match its words with deeds" and implement the concept of healthy competition in the competition in related fields.
