India needs to ally with US to counter China: Fareed Zakaria to India Today at Davos

[Viet]

In that case stop bullying smaller Asian countries.

We are seeing the re-emergence of the Japanese Navy before our very eyes.

Already Japan has announced that the two 27,000 tonne Izumo class will be converted to full aircraft carriers able to hold at least a squadron of F-35Bs each. This is just the start and we will see Japanese fighters in the future flying off much larger carriers in the future.

Not only will US carriers assist Vietnam, but also Japanese ones if China thinks it can bully Vietnam.

Japan needs to double military spendings. To at least 2 or better 3 percent of GDP. About the level of NATO. More Japan aircraft carriers visit to the SC sea. By the way there is a rumour in Vietnam. Not sure if true. Xi’s spouse Peng Luyuang wants to file divorce because he refuses to help in the household. A desperate man with nuclear weapon with unchecked power is dangerous. Vietnam military is on alert.

LOL that is a very sane idea, Zakaria. How about you first tell America to pay back the billions in loans... We’ll think about a confrontation after that.

That is sure to happen.

Proud Japan will never kow-tow to the Chinese in Asia. Even doubling to 2% of GDP and spending the extra money on the Navy will mean that the Japanese Navy will be able to keep up with PLAAN naval expansion.

How China bullied small countries? Did we sent bombers to bomb them or sent CIA agents to stir up social troubles?

That is sure to happen.

Only 11% of Japanese people “willing to fight for their country”

They don't even want to fight for their own country and you expect they fight for you BD? The old independent Japan's spirit had long gone, now they are just a tame US lapdog that even North Korea can kick it without fear.

so basically what Fareed Zakaria is saying is that inida should serve another white master to stand a chance against china! i dont see any issue there slavery is in their dna!

India got very low threshold to stay put and serve the interests of its allies while sucking up all the favours in return. It only took one kung fu kick to resolve the doklam standoff. Trump sarcastic comment about Modi annoying him over Afghan library is a subtle reminder.

You are on different planet buddy. Come back to earth.

India the slave has very limited ability to help its master USA.

The USA has to plead others to do more. What kind of a superpower would beg for talks after spending almost 1 trillion dollar and wasting thousands of lives? What good is India in such a given scenario? India is good for nothing.

Dude just build libraries in Afghanistan. LOL what happened to India US unbeatable partnership? Things gone sour?

 

[Viet]

You in the west really believe in this shit propaganda. In any communist party, there was no absolute power. Every top decision must come from Politbureau.

From every perspective, China or Vietnam is much more democratic, i.e. listen to the voice of the people than, says, Germany under Markel, the US under Trump or France under I forget his name.

The best country on this planet is Switzerland. A democratic country. Two most powerful ancient empires Greece and Roman were democratic. Democracy is a means to hinder abuse of power.

That is a fact. Not shit.

Vietnam has Politburo as a top making body, but China now implements a presidential system. You can call Vietnam as collective rule system while China one man rule. I won’t call both as democratic.

well thing is in your hyper activitsm or so called judgement against trump & MODI or so called republical/right wing govts you failed to see what the sarcastic message was ..... it was US approcoates indian devlopment work and that indians want a educated afghan nation but USA also want indian militarry might .... in short trump was pleading indian militarry might in afghanistan which under no circumstances india is doing cause that is not for what india was there in the first place

These asian countries also know the risk of antagonising their giant neighbour.

During the sino soviet split the choice was to support China or the soviet Union. One foolish little banana country which I will not name chose the Soviets. They have suffered poor relations ever since and even had to fight a devasting war in their norther border.



Xi is the product of 5000 years of Chinese tradition. China will always produce such people and Xi Jinping has taken it unto himself to restore the Chinese nation.

People have likened his hard working and mission oriented character to that of emperor Kangxi.

You have the logic of a hooligan. Because Vietnam favored USSR, China was angry so attacked, raping our country and people.

There are lots of countries out there that favor America and Russia, why don’t you invade their lands and rape their women?

If India was smart, it would reap benefits from both sides (i.e. US and China) by not taking a stance and letting the tug of war continue. And judging by India's foreign policy, this appears to be the case.


Making an enemy of a neighbor who has one of the strongest militaries in the world and has 5 times the GDP of India is needless to say the wrong way to go.

Yeah... we know that...

That is why all... China, Russia, USA, EU... all are investing in India...

Dude just build libraries in Afghanistan. LOL what happened to India US unbeatable partnership? Things gone sour?

Our beaurocracy and politicians does not want to settle in...

Indo-US, Indo-Russia, Indo-China or Indo-xyz... partnership are not done to HARM INDIA'S INTEREST...

We don't fight other's war...

China doesn't intend to be India's enemy. China will become a real enemy if India treats China as an enemy. Which is not good for India because unlike US and European coutries, China is India's neighbour.

IF India becomes a US puppet and starts to corner China, then China will surely treat India as it's enemy.
Currently China just have disagreements with regards to the border. Not even close to be considered as an enemy. But then having all that said, India sees China differently.

Your commet is so funny, don't you really see that what China wants the most is peace and stability so China can make money without worries? can't you see that China's focus is on economy and making more money? Don't always talk about wars, wars are the last thing we Chinese people think now. as for your BD, most Chinese people don't even know where the country is, we couldn't care less about what you do or say.

Saying "China wants stability and peace" is not enough. Under what conditions and terms does China want that? Is it really just for making money and for the economy? No, as we have seen, "China wants peace and stability" on the condition of maintaining the 9 dash line, claiming Taiwan as part of it, and the Senkaku islands. Those terms create the conditions of bad tensions and a difficult peace because those terms are demands to great and unfair towards the surrounding countries. Thus China can claim that it wants peace and stability, but by saying that, it is failing to recognize that its terms are beyond acceptable.
