Swamy is a bloody snake;
Could be a ruse to reserve the right to stay tough and go tougher even in the current somewhat de-escalating Sino-Indian context. If everything quietens they will ask us to allow Huawei, all the banned apps and other investments, also allow Chinese firms to re-bid for Govt contracts.

With posturing like this they can say we are under domestic political pressure to not give in to your demands right now- leave Depsang/Gogra/Hot Springs etc just like Pangong Tso and then maybe Swamy can put in a good word for you.

Statecraft is complex.

Highly unlikely..
after what Chinese did to blinken couple of weeks back, doesn’t look like CCP gives a damn about anybody.

SuSwamy should remember these aren’t old days where statements of political leaders are forgotten in old papers which used to end up with raddi wala, everything is at fingertips these days.
these statements will only tarnish his brief period of good legacy.

What Swami is saying is nothing new. We have been discussing it in the DFI for ages.

The Indian EAM is always eager to mend fences with China and Pakis and surrender any diplomatic offensive oppurtunities against them no matter whatever they do. This has been true during UPA and true during NDA.

The initial timid response to Chinese beligerence in April-May 2020 Ladakh incursion, was guided by China Study group under EAM. It was only after the Galwan clash that Indian Government took a harder stance. Though even then they did not ban Chink products in the Indian market fully and people continued to buy the cheap Chink electronic junks.

When russia attacked and took cremia westrn forces including USA dint go far enough to go nd attack russia ... Both cases might be different given USA has naval presence there ...
I doubt beyound a point USA ll fight for Taiwan . If china provides some good deals to USA capitalists they ll remain stand by . USA not so reliable ally . CCP ll definately want to prize of Taiwan before 2049 .

Cyber detectives examine Nine, parliament

being investigated, but this attack could reveal a nationwide vulnerability," 9News Australia tweeted.

While Nine called in the nation's cyber detectives, Parliament House pulled the plug on the federal email network at the weekend in response to a suspected cyber attack.

Both incidents are under investigation by the public face of the Australian Signals Directorate, the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

At least china has guts to say him dog. When he said nothing about china.
We should praise Chinese foreign Office to have guts saying him dog
But our foreign Office said nothing when he is openly supporting khalistani.
If this continues, day is not far away when they do the same thing to an Indian PM. What will you say then?

Shouldn’t encourage bad behaviour..

Already multiple article and foreign media declares our pm fascist and Indian democracy is flawed. Currently our image is portrayed as fascist country and pm as hitler.
New York Times and Washington Post are famous for this
So what is left we must reply in same tone

- let’s not confuse diplomacy with media narratives
- wars start, when diplomacy fails
- the guy who made this statement is a Chinese ambassador to Brazil

The reason this guy is shooting his mouth off is because he knows that if there is blowback his fellow countrymen wouldn’t know about it unless CCP wants them to know, because of the firewall.
