Southeast Asia is increasingly turning to India instead of the US or China

Dumb Chinese don't even know geopolitics in their backyard

Dumb Indian, put so much faith on photo ops and GAY BEAR HUGS.
LMAO, you post a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) event that show how insignificant India is to South East Asia.

India is just one of our LOW COST LABOR SUPPLIER from 3rd World country.

Unnecessary article. China is associated with being dirty in India - if someone looks shabby and/or stinks he is told "Kam se kam cheena snan le le"; roughly translates to - "at the very least bathe the bare minimum like a Chinese person" - I guess this has to do with dirt poor Chinese people settling in Calcutta and Bombay generations ago in the Chinatowns.

No one sees China as an ally except Pakistan and North Korea. And we know how these states are perceived in the rest of the world. China might invest and their products readily snapped up - but that is a business relationship not a strategic one.

Funny, for the rest of the World, the honor of "associated with being dirty" goes to INDIA.
Only insecure and schizophrenic India go looking for ALLIES.
While others are busy enhancing economic ties on their way to prosperity.

Funny indeed. Since in the democratic civilized world, it is universally reserved for China. I wouldn't know about states that are not democratic.
LOL - it is obvious how insecure China is that it needs to appoint and hail a dictator.

For deluded Indians, "democratic civilized world" means INDIA.
For rest of the WORLD, India means this OPEN SHXT FILTH.

LOL - ironic coming from a Chinese - where you don't even need to use the word "open" - just SHXT FILTH would be synonymous with China in the democratic civilized world.

Keep wondering. To those of us in the democratic, civilized world - this just shows us the power of the free press. Something China knows nothing of.

We know exactly why the South Koreans don't welcome Indians into their restaurant. Something to do with pungent smell emitted from Indians. That's the only reason one can come up with, quite understandably since you guys wipe your a*s with your fingers, dumping your poo outside, eating so much curry that every civilized race would wanna avoid getting near you guys.

LOL.. Self comfort post. Stupid article by indian with zero knowledge on ASEAN politics. Indian better stick with bollywood script than writing facts.

ASEAN is China playground. Mynamar, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand ,Philippines and Malaysia are already Chinese allies.


Really? How many allies of India in ASEAN? I think you need to get your head check.

Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand have already join the China group. How many India has? The rest are US allies and India has zero.

Joined the China group? What have they done, precisely? Offered tribute to the Middle Kingdom? Done kow-tow to the holder of the Mandate of Heaven? What a laugh you are!

I think any different smell becomes unbearable for the people who are not used to it...I can even smell food from a lot of people in masjid while praying in congregation especially in Ramadan but definitely it is not as strong as curry smell but still it can be nauseating..perhaps I have a too sensitive nose because I can pick up smokers and drinkers at a distance.

It is an embarrassing subject, but you are being very candid and honest. What you say is true, and the difference is evident even within the very diverse cultural milieu that is the Indian nation. I had also noticed the difference while in Europe and, in contrast, in Asia, in South Korea, to be precise. And habitual smokers are also quickly smelt out by abstainers. Unfortunately, except in drunken individuals, I cannot make out drinkers from others. That may reflect on my own habits!

For me alcohol smell is too strong..I can't travel in metros around the midnight on weekends when all the drunk people are returning from the bars and night clubs...a lot of disgusting scenes ... people throw up ..yuck.. so I use either my own car or a taxi.

Though if someone has drunk a beer with 2.5 - 4.5 % alcohol (standard), I can stand that with little irritation.

Lol - little China - always trying to feel better about its country which the world scoffs at or laughs at. Meanwhile, in the real world -

Oh, that's completely different; a clinical extreme, actually. Even here, locally, where drinking habits are so primitive and so strongly driven by miserable lives and poor living conditions, it is so easy to make out a drinker with the first deep breath in his proximity; fortunately, I have not had the misfortune of coming across women drunk in public. The vast majority of drinkers in here have horrid habits; sit down with a determination to get 'drunk'; an obsession with getting a kick; indulgence in the harshest, crudest liquor, in order to be able to afford to drink the most possible amount before losing control; the losing control, that thankfully you have described, and that I can therefore skirt.

On a lighter note, as a tourist in Vienna in 1989, I was walking down an upmarket commercial area in the early afternoon, with obviously externally very nice restaurants, when a very formally dressed person stepped out of a restaurant, faintly unsteady in his gait, went on for a hundred yards or so, then paused, threw up very deliberately into the gutter, and then proceeded calmly on his way. Very unsettling.

Looks like u are high on some grass. May I know what has other ASEAN countries did to India as what this BS article suggest they seeking closer to India?

No wonder India is considered a backward country with mentality still stuck in medieval tones that tribute still need to be administered to show alliance with another.

All the countries mention borrow money from China. Don’t tell me an enemy can get loan from China? They seek military cooperation and arms from China. In line with China set policy like OBOR and in line with China request like refrain from SCS dispute interfere by third party which region influence is far from Asia.
