Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is much more subtle in how it hits India. For example, most left wing news outlets in the west are allies of CCP, meaning CCP influences how they report the news. So the CCP will limit the anti-Indian government stuff directly from their propaganda outlets, while pushing the anti-Modi, anti-BJP narrative full blast through their outside influencers. But those of us who know that the left wing media in US is on the same team as the CCP can see right through the deception.
Same way, the CCP says publicly that it wants to help India, then stops flights carrying essential supplies for Covid from going to India. Even as of now, the flights to India are suspended, while the CCP keeps putting out press releases of how they are planning to resume flights through its own media as well as its mouthpieces in India like the Hindu. But the flights with supplies are still suspended as of now. Actions speak louder than words.

Unless you can see the game the CCP is playing, it is easy to be fooled by their propaganda and its propaganda bots. Who do you think is funding much of the leftist anti-Modi propaganda drive within India, as well as the disinformation campaign with fudged numbers and fake accounts? The CCP and their leftist partners of course, but they do it in such a way that it remains hidden.

From flip-flops on freight flights to jibes in the United States, this is how China responded to the crisis in India-India News, Firstpost. “
China's response to the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in India has been a bundle of contradictions — from the Sichuan Airlines' flip-flop over cargo flights to attempts at stoking tensions between the US and India.
New Delhi currently appears to be reacting cautiously to Beijing's offers for assistance to deal with the crisis. On Tuesday, India did not attend a meeting hosted by Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi to discuss co-operation on COVID-19 with South Asian countries.
In the past few weeks, the COVID-19 situation in India has been the focus of much global attention, with several countries offering support. In this context, here is an overview of how China has responded to the ongoing health crisis in India.

Sichuan Airlines fiasco
On Monday, China's state-run Sichuan Airlines retracted its announcement to suspend cargo flights taking crucial supplies like oxygen concentrators to India and said that it was working out a new plan to resume the services.
A logistics arm under Sichuan Airlines said that it was discussing a new plan to resume cargo services to India, as the country has been going through a COVID-19 resurgence, state-run Global Times reported.
The response came after Indian media reported that Sichuan Airlines had suspended all its cargo flights to India for 15 days, and said that such a move brings "major disruption" to private traders' efforts to buy medical supplies, including oxygen concentrators, from China.
"We are re-evaluating the original plan of suspending cargo services to India, and actively discussing a new plan to guarantee cargo services to the region," the report quoted the airlines as saying.
The suspension of cargo flights came as a surprise to agents and freight forwarders who are frantically trying to procure the oxygen concentrators from China, as noted by PTI.
There have also been complaints of Chinese manufacturers jacking up the prices by 35 to 40 percent. The freight charges have been increased to over 20 percent, the agency quoted Siddharth Sinha of Sino Global Logistics, a Shanghai-based freight forwarding company, as saying.
The suspension of the flights is surprising as there is no crew change in India and the same crew flies the aircraft back, he said.
There are also virtually no Indians travelling to China from India other than diplomats as China has suspended visas for Indians since November and flights remained banned.
It is in this backdrop that Chinese propaganda outlets have targeted the United States for not doing enough to help India at its time of need. It appears plausible that this criticism is being made to divert attention from China's inconsistent response, as well as criticism over its attempts at vaccine diplomacy.
China takes aim at US
Chinese propaganda outlets have stridently criticised the US for its initially sluggish response to the emerging crisis in India. An article in Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece Global Times said that the response could be a 'slap in the face' for those who advocated for an alliance between India and the US.
The article, titled "Will US 'crocodile tears' prompt Indian elites to reflect on who their allies are?", remarked, "The rising anti-US sentiment will become an alarm bell to Indian elites. Over the past few years, India’s foreign policy, especially its US strategy, has been profoundly impacted by pro-US forces. The new development will at least prompt them to reflect. Yet it is too early to tell whether their pro-US stance will fundamentally change."
Another article in Global Times titled 'US selfishness hits partnership with India, but China blamed', struck a similar note as it said, "In the past few days as India is battling the deadly surge of COVID-19 infections and deaths, it has clearly felt how "unreliable" its close partner, the US, is. If there had not been pressure from China and other countries, the US may not offer any substantial assistance to India, not even a verbal promise."
Last week, China's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing that Beijing expresses sincere sympathies to India over the deteriorating coronavirus situation in the country recently. "China is ready to provide support and help according to India's need, and is in communication with the Indian side on this. We believe that the Indian people will defeat the virus at an early date," Zhao said in response to a question from the official Chinese media if Beijing is having communications with New Delhi on providing help to India fight the pandemic.
However, China's expression of support to India is deeply ironical, coming as it does on the back of its aggressive posturing during the nine month-long military standoff along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh. That said, as noted by an article in Bloomberg, "The comments out of China, coupled with the severity of the crisis in India, show how the imbalance in vaccinations between richer and poorer nations has the potential to reshape geopolitics as parts of the world start to reopen. Washington and New Delhi have strengthened ties over the past year amid a border clash in the Himalayas and India's efforts to attract companies looking to diversify away from China."
While China has indeed offered support to India to deal with the COVID-19 crisis, its record elsewhere gives New Delhi reason to be wary. As noted by an article in Foreign Affairs, during the pandemic, China has exploited its dominance of manufacturing supply chains to win favor by donating masks and now vaccines to foreign countries. Chinese-developed vaccines have, however, been met with considerable skepticism due to questions about their distribution, effectiveness and pricing.
Thus, while the US was indeed initially hesitant to respond to the coronavirus ' second wave in India, China's criticism of the US appears to be guided largely by a bid to divert attention from its own questionable actions.
So the Chinese Communist Party's airlines are still "holding discussions" of how to resume flights to India, without actually resuming flights to India. Meanwhile the Chinese suppliers have also jacked up prices for the supplies as well as for the freight, while not even allowing the emergency supplies to reach India. Nice.

P.S. Even if the Chinese emergency supplies do eventually reach India, they may be unreliable, similar to the unreliable PPE and test kits sent by the CCP earlier.

Corona: China stopping medical supplies to India, USISPF claims
Story Highlights
  • USISPF said – China is a big hurdle in the battle of Corona
  • USISPF India to give 1 lakh oxygen concentrators
  • USISPF proposal, India gets vaccine from US

When India is plagued by the second wave of Corona and only the scene of destruction is being seen everywhere, now the whole world is also coming forward to help India. If oxygen is being supplied from a country, then oxygen tankers are being ordered from somewhere. Every country is helping India on its behalf. America, the superpower of the world, has also come with India in this difficult time. All the necessary help is also being provided from their side.

USISPF said – China is a big hurdle in the battle of Corona

In this episode, Mukesh Aghi, CEO of US business group USISPF, while talking to Aaj Tak has told that one lakh oxygen concentrators will be given to India on their behalf. At the same time, by the end of May, India will get 31000 thousand oxygen concentrators from the USISPF. He has emphasized that in this difficult time, America stands with India and every kind of help will be given. But on behalf of Mukesh Aghi it has also been told that the whole world wants to help India, but China is becoming a big obstacle in it.

USISPF India to give 1 lakh oxygen concentrators

In the interview, Mukesh has stated that a shipment sent by the USISPF was intercepted from the Chinese side. At that time, it was argued that from China, cargo aircraft with India were banned. But due to this attitude of China, many medical items could not be supplied to the country in time.
Now the CEO of USISPF is also pointing this way and considering China as a major obstacle in this battle of Corona. It has been informed by the CEO that there is a plan to bring 1000 oxygen concentrators to India through Japan.


By the way, before this, help has been offered by the American merchant group. It has been claimed by the USISPF that in the Corona era, India is going to get help on a large scale very soon. At the same time, oxygen will be supplied to every state in the country, where it is most needed.

Delhi has also been included in this list. At the same time, many other US companies have been appealed by the USISPF to deliver everything from ICU beds to N-95 masks to India in this difficult time. Confidence has been expressed that India is going to get a big relief by May.

India gets vaccine from US: USISPF

It is known that at this time the USISPF is not only sending the necessary medical supplies to India, but a proposal is also being made in front of the Biden government on their behalf. It is being said that India should be given a vaccine on a large scale. On the other hand, if he is not able to do so due to the Defense Production Act, then at least 20 million doses of vaccine should be left for India. When the production of the vaccine increases in India by the end of the year, then it will be returned.

Any idea on how we are going to ramp up vaccination? Right now, i guess we are at 25 lakhs/day. We need to push this at least 3-4 times the current speed.

Britcuck Brainwashing Caliphate is at it again.

The cumulative death toll (since 2019) crossed 200,000. They make it appear like these many people died only in the 2nd wave (March 15 or later).
