The Chinese are under no illusion that in the new circumstances India will somehow slide into their camp.

Nor is the OIC Kashmir remarks,a sign of Wang Yi's flatfootedness.

It is SOP to slap India before or during visits, to keep us realistic about our strength & expectations.
There IS a new logic.

They cannot be unaware of India's dependence on Russia, and the suddenly escalated Russian dependence on China putting in their hands, a new goad, to keep the Indian elephant in check.
Wang Yi will be chortling all the way from New Delhi to Beijing if he reads this!

Wang Yi is not in the 'business' of building 'good relations'.

He is in the business of building 'unequal relations'. For this mutual trust is NOT required.

Only one-sided dependence & weakness.

@Jairam_Ramesh My dear Sir. The last thing most of us want is the Truth.

Right now, this very minute, across the world and in India, 26 or so hate-filled verses are being taught & grounded into impressionable young minds 'forever'.
@Jairam_Ramesh These are considered 'holy'.. you & I are 'kufr', destined to all manner of terrible punishments and the clear basis & justification for the action of terrorists & fundamentalists.

But is anyone interested in THIS TRUTH. NO. Neither you, nor even the Supreme Court of India which
@Jairam_Ramesh deems it too 'frivolous' to question.

What we all love is propaganda not the Truth, except, of course, when it comes to the Kufr.

When it comes to the 'Kufr' Truth becomes Propaganda.

If the Russia Ukraine worsens and Russia gets the worst of it, things could unravel very fast for oil & defence equipment dependent India... theprint.in/opinion/global…
"Fact is, US-China trade has soared by 28.7 per cent to $755.6 billion in 2021, despite the pandemic and US tariffs,.... first is the ASEAN bloc, followed by the European Union. China-EU trade amounted to $828 billion in the same year, up 27 per cent from the previous year."
"Wang Huiyao of the influential Center for China & Globalization " Russia may possess a mighty military, but its economy is in long-term structural decline…It is worth remembering that China’s economic interests with Russia are dwarfed by those it shares with the West.”

Air India was systematically looted through purchase of 111 aircraft, merging it with Indian Airlines & liberalization of bilateral rights. m.economictimes.com/industry/trans…
"Before 2005, Air India was making a profit of Rs 15 crore per annum and Indian Airlines was making profit of Rs 50 crore. These airlines were made to purchase 111 aircraft at a cost of Rs 50-55,000 crore which pushed the national carrier into deep debts," Scindia said.
"Scindia said the decision to merge two airlines with completely different work cultures, purchase of 111 aircraft, liberalisation of bilateral rights when Indian air carriers did not have the capacity to fulfill it pushed Air India to post a daily loss of Rs 20 crore."

#अशरफरंगभेद
पसमांदा', एक फारसी शब्द जिसका अर्थ है "जो पीछे रह गए हैं," शूद्र (पिछड़े) और अति-शूद्र (दलित) जातियों से संबंधित मुसलमानों को संदर्भित करता है।

रंगभेद का अर्थ है (दक्षिण अफ्रीका में) नस्ल के आधार पर अलगाव या भेदभाव की नीति या प्रणाली।
यही नीति अशरफों द्वारा अपनाई जाती है, जो सोचते हैं कि वे अरबी, ईरानी या तुर्किक रक्त के साथ नस्लीय रूप से श्रेष्ठ हैं, बहुसंख्यक पसमांदा मुसलमानों की तुलना में जो मूल भारतीय हैं।
नतीजतन, अशरफ, जो भारत की मुस्लिम आबादी का लगभग 15% हैं, अलग-थलग, उत्पीड़न करते हैं, हीन के रूप में व्यवहार करते हैं और ऑल इंडिया मुस्लिम पर्सनल लॉ बोर्ड, शैक्षिक और अन्य संस्थानों में बहुसंख्यक पसमांदा मुसलमानों (85%) के प्रतिनिधित्व से इनकार करते हैं।

#AshrafApartheid
Pasmanda', a Persian term meaning “those who have fallen behind,” refers to Muslims belonging to the shudra (backward) and ati-shudra (Dalit) castes.

"Muslims that 'minority politics' left behind - The Hindu" thehindu.com/opinion/lead/M…
Apartheid means (in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race.

That is the policy practiced by Ashrafs who think they are racially superior,with Arabic, Iranian or Turkic blood,to the majority Pasmanda Muslims who are native Indians.
Consequently, Ashrafs who are around 15% of India's Muslim population, segregate, oppress, treat as inferiors & deny representation to majority Pasmanda Muslims (85% ) in All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Educational & other Institutions.
