I have interacted with few Chinki tourists here, they spoke decent English,After all the betrayal of China against India since the 1960's, and the fact that India's modern economic boom is in no small part facilitated by its trade with the US and the economic system championed and protected by the US, not to mention that India and the US are both English speakers, liberal democracies, and most of all, given the fact that most Indians would like to immigrate to the US, some Indians are still dreaming of China? This is not only scandalous.
This reminds me of the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice, shame on me!"
If all major powers are snakes, then China is the worst of them all, the most treacherous and venomous. It must be contained if not defeated.
Which is why if it was the Han people governing China with nationalism as the dominant ideology, it would be extremely easy for China and India to be friends. But it's the Expansionist Chinese Communists controlling it right now, which is why all attempts at normalizing relations are futile.I have interacted with few Chinki tourists here, they spoke decent English,
Were lovely people, with deep respect for India and her culture, obviously I will not generalize my limited interaction with the whole of China

Gupta ji ass is burnt. Article says should he travel so much during active pandemic.
Bearing in mind that traditionally Hans are spiritualistic people, to me it appears like there is some deep seated civilizational inferiority complex among them v/s Bharat and it's culture. We have influenced and culturally dominated ancient China far longer than any other western power or imperial Japan. So much so that their so called "century of humiliation" does not talk about Bharat. This is what they are trying to get over with crockery like superior race theory, claims to lands/oceans based on some perceived sphere of influence, building grandiose things and so on. They don't give a flying fk about western culture which in their eyes is very materialistic/superficial and cannot compensate for their deep insecurities. I am referring to the senior minds in the CCP politburo who have a say and not the PLA "pride" brigade. Just my thoughts based on seemingly erratic/unpredictable CCP behavior against us.Which is why if it was the Han people governing China with nationalism as the dominant ideology, it would be extremely easy for China and India to be friends. But it's the Expansionist Chinese Communists controlling it right now, which is why all attempts at normalizing relations are futile.

Really? That is news for Chinese.Bearing in mind that traditionally Hans are spiritualistic people, to me it appears like there is some deep seated civilizational inferiority complex among them v/s Bharat and it's culture.
Influenced? Yes! Not by Bharat but Buddhism.We have influenced and culturally dominated ancient China far longer than any other western power or imperial Japan.
Until 1990s, the number of Chinese people knowing "Bharat" was less than a few hundreds. You can't talk about something that you have never heard of.So much so that their so called "century of humiliation" does not talk about Bharat.
Well, basically their modernization is all about learning from west.This is what they are trying to get over with crockery like superior race theory, claims to lands/oceans based on some perceived sphere of influence, building grandiose things and so on. They don't give a flying fk about western culture which in their eyes is very materialistic/superficial and cannot compensate for their deep insecurities.
Indeed. Most of them have the same complex that several western countries had back in the post-War era; that they emerged economically better and equipped with more talent than others so somehow they are superior to others. Add to their materialism the fact that there is no spiritual sense of self-restrictions and you have the extremist consumerism that will leave American consumerism far behind.Chinkis here in the Philippines are mostly drug smugglers, smugglers of all other goods, law violators, fond of bribing government officials, tax evaders, you name it. I've never seen a greedier group of people.

I have heard of very negative reports about Chinese traders even in Indonesia and Malaysia, though the citizens are reasonably good people.
However, new arrivals from mainland in the southeast Asian countries are materialistic, opportunistic and downright ruthless.
Word has it that China still has Philippines' government in its pockets and that the Filipinos are mighty upset with their government for accepting so much loan that their sovereignty is at stake. Correct me if I am wrong.
Well, the USA of the past and the USA of the present are completely different. I would understand that your grandfather's time would have been much more peaceful as things were more hunky-dory in the United States. That place had a semblance of being a country with more government control. Today, it is different.You ask around from my grandfather's generation who experienced American rule in the Philippines you will only hear good words for the Americans. My father-in-law who worked for an American logging and plywood factory in the Philippines in the 1960s-80s yearn for the days when their comoany was run by the Americans. He complained bitterly after it was sold to local Filipino-Chinese businessman (my father-in-law is half Chinese) in the 1990s. He said their American benefits suddenly disappeared and the Filipino-Chinese owner was only focused on his profit. He resigned early instead.
Regarding CCP penetration in the Philippine Government, well it struck gold. Their Manchurian candidate Duterte won. But the funny thing is while Duterte is so vocal in praising Xi and the Chinese, none of his cabinet, including his Foreign Secretary, openly do so. Duterte from the beginning of his term has vocally called for the scrapping of the US basing agreement but came out empty-handed. And the funniest of course is that his supporters (Dutertards) are most heavily anti-Chinese.
This is most likely the Chinese handler of Duterte, Michael Yang (look it up):

Doesn’t espionage come to mind?
Michael Yang of the Pharmally scandal is a Chinese national doing business in Davao City. Mr. Duterte has trusted this man as a friend for decades, and in fact appointed him at one point as aopinion.inquirer.net
The Philippine military has silently pushed back against Duterte's surrender in the SCS by carrying out sovereignty patrols despite Duterte's pro-China talk.
And recently, with the International Criminal Court (ICC) case filed by victims of Duterte's murderous drugs war now moving, Duterte has all of a sudden become more US friendly. Personally, there's nothing more I want right niw than an ICC arrest warrant against him so that no Filipino President would so againt calously abuse his power and murder so many if his own poorest citizens that he swore to serve and protect.
As to AUKUS, the vast majority of Filipinos welcome it.

American corporations at least do not hold back on the reward for hard work though. They pay decent wages and are not like China-based companies that are only there to leech your resources. But Philippines will have to choose one day and for itself. ASEAN today is dependent on 4 countries; Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. Philippines needs to be the 5th power in that grouping. That can only happen if the people there do something about it.
Dueterte is not the problem; the structure of politics in your country is. I would go so far as to say that Philippines should not be anyone's pet project - USA, China or even India in the future. That is not a good thing. We as a country don't do pets, but you get the idea. You are a country of 110 million people; you are prominent enough to assert yourself and lookout for your interests. Take that stand and compete against China. The rest will automatically back you.
This coming election there's a 99.9% chance that Dueterte will go away. But then whatever you choose to do with the replacement will define your way forward.
Intresting development. If true, who could be behind this? Russians? Chinese? And what could be the purpose?

Intresting stuff.
Are nuclear subs without nuclear weapons an attack strategy?The US and China have been engaged in a pissing contest since the start of Obama's presidency. There's some provocation from one side, then the other side responds and the cycle continues. Vice President Harris and US diplomats have fanned out over Asia trying to seduce countries into a new Cold War block against China while for its part, Taiwan has become the stage for diplomatic and, occasionally, military provocations of China.
But helping Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines is probably the biggest provocation thus far by the US because of two reasons.
Firstly, for the purpose of defending your maritime property against invading navies, a modern conventional submarine is adequate. Keep in mind that Australia canceled a $66 billion contract with France for twelve conventional submarines and switched to American nuclear submarines. The explanation provided by the Australian Prime Minister is that there were “very real issues about whether a conventional submarine capability” would address the "changes in the regional situation."
But the only change in the regional situation that would justify the change from conventional to nuclear submarines is the change from a defensive strategy to an attack strategy. Less than five years ago, Australia rejected nuclear submarines in favor of conventionally powered ones. This therefore is very provocative.
Also to bear in mind, US submarines are powered by very highly enriched 93.5% weapons grade uranium; Chinese submarines are powered by low enriched uranium. The enriched uranium used to power nuclear submarines is the second reason the US announcement is so provocative. It is provocative because of the US willingness to push the borders of the nuclear non-proliferation agreement (NPT), which it violates anyway by catering slavishly to Israel.
This agreement skirts around the borders of Article 4.1, which guarantees non-nuclear weapons states like Australia the use of "nuclear energy for peaceful purposes" and Article 4.2, which permits exchange of nuclear equipment "for the peaceful use of nuclear energy." As we saw earlier, nuclear-powered submarines are not defensive, but for attacking, which is not a "peaceful purpose."
This deal is especially concerning because US and UK submarines are fueled with weapon-grade uranium rather than the low-enriched uranium used by France and China.
The US announcement further shits on the NPT because the treaty discourages other countries from providing enriched uranium for non-peaceful activities. The US, however, supplies the UK with highly enriched uranium. Most likely the US would also supply the enriched uranium to Australia.
Both because the US-UK-Australia agreement transforms Australia’s submarine fleet from one that can defend against Chinese vessels to one that can attack Chinese vessels and because of the extraordinary US willingness to undermine the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, this new agreement brings American provocation of China to a threatening new level, one that might probably escalate to an islands war.
