The problem is simple; they have made themself indispensable to the global economy.‘Just remove exports to US and Europe than China in spite of its size will cut down to Pakistan's Size In economy. Chinese have earned a bad name in both the US and Europe due to Covid -19, hence resistance to Chinese products is growing. I myself refused to buy a Chinese-brand dishwasher recently. My friends picked up a non-Chinese winter coat. Hence the resistance to Chinese exports is growing. Sooner than later other exporters will emerge or these two trading blocks will take away manufacturing out of China and then the Chinese will have nowhere to turn to.
Chinese presence in our economy is strong; very strong. decoupling overnight would devastate our markets. PM Modi ji understands this dependence, which is why he does not push too hard. Dr. Swamy for all his economics and law qualifications is just bitter that he didn't get a cabinet role & uses that bitterness against him.A good article summarizing different views between Modi and opposition on China :
Chronicling Delhi’s debate on Beijing
The India-China clash in Tawang has sharpened the debate on China in Delhi. Based on conversations with those familiar with official thinking on one side, and the political Opposition and critics on the other, here is a paraphrased, somewhat simplified, version of the best arguments in this...epaper.hindustantimes.com
tldr : Modi & Co. believe in keeping head down and biding time since power differential with China too great, opposition (by that I mean not just political opposition but right wing people like Swamy as well) want too not be timid and push back forcibly.
the coupling of China with India’s economy happened on NPA and Congress’ watch. Modi is doing all of his might to fix the crap that NPA leftChinese presence in our economy is strong; very strong. decoupling overnight would devastate our markets. PM Modi ji understands this dependence, which is why he does not push too hard. Dr. Swamy for all his economics and law qualifications is just bitter that he didn't get a cabinet role & uses that bitterness against him.
What PM Modi ji is doing is right in the long run for our country.

They are definitely not building this for commercial potential, but military infra.Did you not know that there is a plan to connect Bilaspur (Himachal Pradesh) with Leh via railway line. Yes it will be high mountain rail line with many tunnels going over 8000 feet to 12,000 feet.
Chinese plan is worthless and the Indian plan has commercial potential.
The tone of the article is very patronizing, much like their worldview from a Middle Kingdom perspective. Despite their communism, their Qing Dynasty attitude of considering everyone beneath them has not gone. In fact, communism has exacerbated that worldview.Chinese normie view of India.
How Is India Viewed in China?
Chinese views of India are very complicated – but generally based on a sense of superiority and self-confidence.thediplomat.com
A lot if not all articles are like that.The tone of the article is very patronizing, much like their worldview from a Middle Kingdom perspective. Despite their communism, their Qing Dynasty attitude of considering everyone beneath them has not gone. In fact, communism has exacerbated that worldview.
The way CCP has internalized their self-perception is on the other extreme of what we Indians have; an obsession to seek validation from the West. The Chinese think that their view is the final view as that is the method in which they operate internally. But when they meet resistance from others, they are shocked and don't know how to react except with entitled anger. Much like a moody 8-year-old.

Rich coming from a country that:
- Censors and edits data of crime statistics for the public
- Has 0 public empathy and prefers killing anyone they accidentally hit while driving to avoid paying them compensation (there is enough evidence on Youtube posted by people)
- Uses rhino horn, ox penis, seahorse powder, etc. to be extra long-lasting in bed
Chinese people's opinion matters little as they do not have sufficient data points to make a conclusive perception about us. They can claim the same for us, but here we have a full range of information regarding them and why they behave the way they do.
The world in which a Chinese person operates in China is very different from ours. Even if this opinion were somehow positive tomorrow, it would matter very little since the government there will not allow anything that does not align with its goals.

The biggest mistake that the Chinese assume here is that we cannot surpass them. The communists have been successful in making grand roads and public infrastructure but at the expense of their society. There is nothing that holds modern Chinese society together.
Gone are the old days when the Chinese family was the strongest institution. It's more or less ceremonial. Just see the number of abusive cases that manage to seep through their internet censorship. I don't deny that there are assholes in our country as well but whoever they are, get exposed and arrested for abusing family members. China.. not so much.
The only thing that is holding them together is the CCP; the day it weakens (and it already is), they would make the Russia of the 90s look stable and normal.
The only way this is going to go is to fight a small-scale skirmish with these guys. It would be fought at the scale of the Kargil War and nothing more because anything more would escalate beyond repair even for the CCP.A lot if not all articles are like that.
Sewer oil eaters are known for arrogance around the world.
The only thing that can change them is by being richer than them.
Chinese are money hungry and would sell their own family for money.
Or we need to take a leaf out of Victoria Nuland's book and restore the pro-Indian monarchy? Bhutanese royalty have been loyal partners to India and understand what it means to us.
