🚨🇮🇳🇨🇳BOMBSHELL: The US has just engineered what Kissinger feared most — two Asian giants coming together.
With 🇺🇸Trump’s tariffs in play, India’s PM Modi is set to visit China for the SCO summit — his 1st visit to the country in SEVEN YEARS.
Here's why it matters: 🧵
1️⃣ ONE BIG MISCALCULATION
China’s opposition to the abuse of tariffs is “consistent & clear,” Beijing said, coming to India’s defense as the US doubled duties over India’s Russian oil purchases.
Amb Xu didn’t mince words: “Give the bully an inch, he will take a mile.”
2️⃣ UNPRECEDENTED CONVERGENCE
So, Modi plans to visit China for the SCO Summit in late August.
A first of its kind since 2019, the trip signals the healing of the rift sparked by 2020-2021 border clashes.
Blasting Western hypocrisy and “unjustified & unreasonable” targeting, India’s MEA vowed to “take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.”
Translation? Your threats mean nothing, Uncle Sam.
2️⃣ BHARAT ON THE RISE
India is set to become the world’s 3rd largest economy, PM Modi said after Trump claimed its economy was “dead.”
Right now, it’s already the 5th largest, stronger than the UK, its former colonial master.
