🔥 What does India-China rapprochement mean for the world?

One thing is certain: globalists won't be happy.

Here's why: 🧵

1️⃣ India-China ties are gaining momentum at a time that couldn't be more timely: the US tariff war against the BRICS.

🇨🇳Chinese FM Wang Yi is in India for the FIRST time in 3 years.

As 🇮🇳 Jaishankar put it, "Differences must not become disputes."

2️⃣ Economically, China is India’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade crossing $100B in 2023-24 FY.

After Jaishankar-Wang Yi talks this week, Beijing reportedly lifted export restrictions on key goods to India: fertilizers, rare earths, magnets, & tunnel boring machines.

3️⃣ Indo-Chinese rapprochement threatens US big strategy.

To start a war with China (theoretically), Washington must decouple from the manufacturing giant.

But India’s reliance on China only grew in the past years — from electronics to pharma, fabrics, auto parts, and batteries.

Stata for 2023-2024 👇

4️⃣ India & China are two ancient civilizations that make up 34% of the world's population and drive 50% of global economic growth.

China's the world's largest military force — and India's the fastest-growing BRICS economy.

Both are nuclear powers.

5️⃣ India & China had been friends for 2000 years. 👇

The spread of Buddhism from India to China remains the most profound legacy.

The US didn't even exist back then.

6️⃣ Did you know Modi ji is actually popular on Chinese social media?

The Indian PM has earned the nickname 'Modi Laoxian' ("IMMORTAL").

It suggests they believe Modi has extraordinary powers, according to journalist Mu Chunshan.

7️⃣ For nearly 2000 years, India & China were the world’s largest economies.

Colonization changed that, but as empires fall, they rise again.

China leads again, but India set to be #3 economy by 2030.

8️⃣ Amid US tariffs, India's PM makes an ULTIMATE BOSS move:

Modi is heading to China for the SCO Summit later this month.

And the US must face the dawn of a new world order.
