India, US, Japan already had teamed up for some time. The worst nightmare for China is one by one countries are tilting it weight towards India. UK & French have started sending their warships & carriers, as a support to India policy in SCS. Australia will soon join the next joint Naval exercise.
Apart from a strong Japan we now have Vietnam strongly on our side. Philippines are on our side, but trying some double side bargains between China & US. All the other countries whether they join us or not won’t really matter. Yes Indonesia can add some small power to the group. I will keep Taiwan neutral, but they will add a massive force to the group.
All major powers including the US attended the Belt & Road forum (BRF) held on May 14–15, 2017 in Beijing, and drew 29 foreign heads of state and government and representatives from more than 130 countries and 70 international organizations. India was the only country daringly opposed to Chinese intentions & rejected China’s invitation & stayed out.

Interestingly Sri lanka added spice to the India’s absence in the BRF on CPEC.
China is getting more & more worried of how things are slowly slipping out of its hand with its arrogance to make India bow down to it. In the context, India is now slowly making China bow down to the India’s diplomatic might. China is not only worried, it’s starting to panic the failure of OBOR. The country will collapse if the OBOR doesn’t go according to its plan. Many African countries are not happy with the west & are inviting India to come in to safe guard their interests as a hedge against China.
There is a big surprise awaiting the world by 2020/21 from one country around SCS. I won’t disclose it here, because I don’t want the Pak intellects & Military to get a free access to such vital info from a small commoner like me. It will be a massive negative factor for China though.
India is not at all deterred by all the Chinese warnings & provocations. China thought there is nobody to question or stop its hegemony & they took India very lightly until Doklam happened. With huge armaments getting deployed in our North East border & making a fortress of the Indian ocean with heavy deployments in Andaman Nicobar Islands & Vietnam the Chinese worries is mounting by day. Singapore new alliance is the latest & there is more to come.
We have managed to temporarily stop Chinese investments in CPEC. Chinese are getting more & more worried with the terror strikes in Pakistan apart from the resistance from Balochs & people of GB. Indian Drones are continuously intruding in to Chinese territory to spy.
How is Pakistan going to deal, If China asks Pakistan to vacate Azad Kashmir & GB & hand it over to India. It’s not reached that stage yet, so it’s just a question for now.
Russia is only playing both sides to keep both happy. But it’s also worried at the pace India’s influence in the world is growing. Nobody is consulting or inviting the Russians, that’s what is making their Ego hurt, but they can’t stop or be jealous of India’s growing influence. India has still a long way to go. But as of now most of the things are working in our favour.
