Well, government of India will prefer a superpower 15000 kms away from India like US was than having it in direct neighborhood. You know, India would have been far powerful country than its today even if it was just a further away from China.
most probably it will be a balanced world where us is impotent in changing things and scenarios far away from it ,that is good for us which means not much reach of woke gang into indian ecosystem as usa is the lynchpin for them, china will not still be able to do everything it wants atleast militarily in the future just like today atleast with india.inida will also grow strong enough atleast to prevent any territory grab permenantly which china cannot do anything about.you could say taiwan is screwed and other small scs countries maybe screwed too but japan could probably generate enough deterence to stop china if right decisions are made.
like i said multipolar world is good for us.my sincere opininon is that the number one civilizational and long term threat faced by india is the wokeness aids and the foreign ideologies within india.chinese agression even through visible can also unify and bolster nationalism and also drive us to improve and counter it.think of it,how many things schemes and items were promoted that was the result of chinese agression.a rival like this also reventss us from going woke,which is the true threat for us nationalists.
despite whatever the npc woke people say in the west(for eg: the general meme of the west(usa especially) being the devil of the world) ironically,the usa is the main incubator and spreader of new strains of wokedom.what do you think will happen when it loses power.the wokes will lose political and military power.the usa military is defacto the wokes military even if they dont know it.the us diplomats are usually the diplomats and soothsayers for their own ideology even though they dont recognnize it(woke are usually naive or suffer from acute lack of self awareness which can explain this).
what is happening now is a form of reverse 1945.the early 20th century countries were in the peak of nationalism and people were not afraaid to do things in europe which they would even be scared to think of. the maladaptive populations and ideologies you see now are very dependent on keeping the memory of that time alive as without that humans will revert to a more comfortable and stable system of tribalism and nationalism.we are nationalists,we must be happy that their system and the patron countries that prop it up are losing their screws and falling apart slowly(declining militaries,less influence,less difference between non-woke and woke countries in terms of power,etc).
as for fear of assertive china,please think proactively and also dont lower your self perception of indias future power .atleast hold it to a higher standard.india by the time it becomes a multi polar world order must have grown in all ways to make any moves against it impractical on the ground.dont alway live in the balance world,stand on your own feet.
