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

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

Here's why: 🧵 Image
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.Image

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 👇Image
Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image

🚨❌ Not even 48 hours had passed since Trump's historic meeting with Putin when neocon blowhard Lindsey Graham* began plotting behind the scenes to sabotage the peace efforts on Ukraine

Here’s how: 🧵 Image
1️⃣ LABELING TACTICS

Graham threatened to make Russia a "state sponsor of terrorism under US law” unless it returns Ukrainian children that it allegedly abducted

“I intend to push the return of these children until I can’t push anymore,” the senator vowed with ridiculous pathos Image
2️⃣ ‘RADIOACTIVITY’ THREAT

Any peace deal on Ukraine must hinge on the return of these kids — or Russia gets branded “radioactive,” the GOP hawk claimed

“If you don’t do, that’s not a just end” to the Ukraine conflict, Graham freaked out Image

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸PUTIN-TRUMP SUMMIT: POSSIBLE UKRAINE PEACE PLAN UNVEILED

The possible plan from the Putin–Trump summit reveals a roadmap to end the Ukraine conflict, Reuters reports.

Here's what may be on the table 🧵 Image
1️⃣ PEACE DEAL COMES FIRST

No ceasefire until a full-fledged peace agreement is reached, the report says.

Trump backs the idea: "The best way to end the conflict is to go directly to a peace agreement and not a mere ceasefire deal, which oftentimes does not hold up." Image
2️⃣ NO NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR UKRAINE

Russia and the US agree: Ukraine’s NATO bid is out of the question.

In exchange, Russia may offer Ukraine security guarantees, Reuters claims. Image
