We (India) need to accept:
- The Chinese are far stronger than us (India) economically and militarily.
- We have wasted the last 10 years with no worthwhile upgrade of our systems, military or economy.
- As a result we are in a vulnerable position now.
- China has ambitions of being a global power and we should let them.
- India instead of dreaming to be a global power, needs to get its house in order. We need to focus on building ourselves.
- If we need to toe some lines with China, so be it. In the long run, we should convert China to cooperate with us and turn the tables on other adverse neighbours too.
- We cannot rely on Donald for US support. He is whimsical and in case he loses the election, India has had it…from China, Pakistan and the US
- So we need to play our cards very carefully and very delicately.
- We need to find genuine areas of cooperation with China, while at the same time not allowing them to take over our markets
- Delicate balance between USA, China, Russia will have to be maintained by India.
