This is at a time when most of the West is looking for an excuse to dislike China, so that China can be painted in a negative light as the geostrategic competition between the western world and China heats up. While it might be frustrating to have resolutions blocked, it is giving India exceptional good coverage as the "good guy battling terrorism" and allowing western governments to paint China as "an evil revisionist power, supporting terrorism and fellow corrupt and repressive regimes around the world."
India just needs to sit back until the USA elects another republican president like Bush and suddenly we'll be hearing speeches about a new "axis of evil" involving "China-North Korea-Pakistan" etc..
your good-guy bad-guy dichotomy - wishful thinking as usual.
1) What "good coverage" for India? The majority of members don't care abt the resolution. They'd stand on the sidelines musing none-of-my-business. Those few who do care (the Western world)would rather keep India busy yeah "battling terrorism" and tied up with Pakistan in Kashmir. Have u forgotten US is the biggest supporter of Pakistan?
2) The West would regard anyone who challenges their supremacy as "evil” revisionists, regardless of "corrupt" or "repressive". Don't talk smart or naive as if India were on their bandwagon.
3) Most Indian posters share your mindset - India sitting back watching America and China locking horns blah blah... then India can take adantage.
That loafing or freeloading doesn't work any longer. As a matter of fact mature powers know how to play the game - here again the Yin-Yang philosophy
The seemingly opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other.
China is engaging Western buddies through AIIB, and FTAs with Australia and S.Korea. India in contrast lacks wherewithal to fulfill its big talks.
Unlike that of India interests of China and America are more interwined in all aspects. The transpacific competition is very much manageable. US will continue posturing and emboldening Asian allies without direct clashes, but China won't stop fortifying SCS bases day by day.
