Time to move on:
Beijing’s aggression has made India’s diffidence about alignment obsolete


28 Oct 2020

By all reckoning, this has been a dramatic year. With two more months to go, it has already shattered a number of assumptions about global politics and its emerging trend lines. For Indian foreign policy, this year has been full of vexing challenges as well and it has forced Indian policy makers to make some decisive shifts in their engagement with the outside world, in particular where it concerns China.
Chinese aggression has made it impossible for New Delhi to continue with its usual ‘engagement where possible’ refrain, because there are hardly any areas where engagement seems possible between the two Asian neighbours. From trade and technology and Taiwan and Tibet, every aspect of their bilateral engagement seems to be in play at the moment.
In the last few weeks itself, we have seen the Quadrilateral security grouping comprising the US, Japan, Australia and India emerge out of irrelevance into something concrete. By finally inviting Australia to the Malabar exercises, there’s now an attempt to give the so-called Quad a military quotient.
India is reportedly thinking of a trade deal with Taiwan to give ballast to a relationship which has a lot of potential. And India’s two-plus-two ministerial dialogue with the US saw the two nations signing the long-pending Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA), which allows for the sharing of high-end military technology, logistics and geospatial maps.

Comment:
During this past year China has made incursions into India's borders in the area of Tibet since the late 1950's.
Lately these attacks have increased.
Yes, India has been fence sitting for decades due to it's internal politics, yet they have recently decided that China's aggression has been rising.
Their trade alliance with America, Australia and Japan is by far a good strategy that can include Tiawan and perhaps even South Korea.
This aliance may hold China's expansion hopes in check.

Notice who is not on that list

New Zealand which is heavily compromised by chinese money and influence

and south korea which is desperately trying to avoid a war with north korea through appeasement
 
Why is New Zealand sitting out this thing? Do they think they can hide from China's global vampirism?

China has swamped NZ with money in so many different ways that is has practically become the new Mother Country

which is what the Belt and Road Initiative across asia, africa and as far away as europe is designed to accomplish

Namely to allow china to gain power and total control over nations through money instead of military force

You're rfight on both accounts, except that the citizens are wary of China and their aggression. A lot of Kiwi's fought the Chinese in Korea and they haven't forgotten.

I’m sure that rational people in NZ are worried just as we are by the liberal insanity in America

but can anyone stop it?

that remains to be seen
 
The Chinese Reds are really clumsy.

They are alienating their neighbors such as Vietnam (over who owns the oceans) and now India (over who owns some mountains).

They are also wasting millions of dollars producing newspapers overseas in various languages because they have the conceit that they can attract foreign readers to their boring propaganda sheets. They have no understanding of non-Chinese psychology.

Well they haven't done it so far... Remember the NZ gov't started confiscating AR-10's and all semi auto rifles including bolt action types that looked like "Assault Rifles".

That does sound familiar..

Brits cannot even own a pellet gun over 12ft lb of muzzle energy without a permit

It should because the chicoms are doing the same thing in America as they compromise one washington swamp rat after another - mostly but not entirely democrats


You're right.... Look at the Clinton/Gore China Gate, and what they've done with China Joe, his son Hunter and brothers Jim and Frank....
