India-China relations doomed by naive Indian PMs.
Why is it that Indians never seem to learn ?
Every single Indian PM comes into office thinking they can somehow build a special friendship with China.
They think that they can connect on a personal level with the Chinese leader and that personal connection will help them bring peace at the border. And then they get slapped in the face !!
I've been saying this from the time I've been a member of this forum - there is "no win-win with China".
The chinaman is a product of thousands of years of a "dog eat dog" culture - it is ingrained in their culture, in their DNA.
So it really doesnt matter who the Chinese leader is - for the Chinese everything is a win-lose scenario. For them to win in Asia, India must lose. For them to win at the global level, the US must lose.
India will forever be China's rival, and they will forever be trying their best to sabotage India at every level, international or domestic. The same applies to the US and China.
China has already started the Cold War with the US long ago - but the US has been sleep-walking; it is just starting to wake up to the fact that these Chinese guys are playing for real.
Nothing will change, even after Xi Jinping leaves the political scene.
