However the matter was reversed to an aggression and land grabbing especially after 1962 war when China was plunged into a greater internal chaos after KMT defeat, korean war, etc. Moreover, India was wholely ruled by a imperialist British empire.

I agree. Many Indian wants to be the next or surpass china, they don't realize that it's a TALL order & quite a miracle. There is only ONE country in the world with 1B+ population that can achieve what China has achieved and it is china..... Now I am not saying that India can't do it but we need to look at the facts. There are only 2 countries with population 300m+ that can do what china does, China & US. But we need to realize that US were the least affected country where all golds went to during ww2. It was 40% of worlds GDP & has been experiencing economic decline ever since. If you lower the population to 200m+ (7 Countries), you still only see China & US. Lower it again to 100m+ population and you only see 4 countries, China, US, Japan & Russia. 3 in which were already heavy hitter before WW2. There is a reason why India has been called the next miracles by time magazines in 2000 but it's still at its stage now. It's not easy to pull up 1B+ people especially using the system basically borrowed from western countries with way less people.

No mofo likes competition ! A pimp always wants his territory so his girls can get all the customers. China does not like India to compete and vice versa. The best product, price and technology will reign supreme. Right now, China is competing on price and to some extent on quality. However, to reach Japanese or German quality it is at least a decade off. I mention this, because India never competes on quality or tech, only price. So India is a couple of decades away from being a real competitor. America has no interest in India except as a bulwark against China. Same way China uses Pakistan, even tho Pakistan is as far away from any cultural or commercial value. India just does not cut it on the world stage.

John Mearsheimer has openly stated many times that "the U.S. does not tolerate peer-competitors". The U.S. effectively stopped Japanese economic growth with the Plaza Accord in 1985. It's not a coincidence that China's troubles with the U.S. started occurring in a major way around 2012, the year after the Chinese economy overtook Japan's economy to become the second-largest in the world. The key indicator seems to be that, once an economy becomes roughly 1/3rd of the U.S. economy, the U.S. government will then view it as a potential threat and seek to repress it.

Its a slight inconvenience in 2024 that the "good guys" are actively engaged in the mass slaughter of over 30,000 women and children, all while Blinken's toasting the toadies at the "Democracy Summit". 1984 was a look in the mirror. Mearsheimer certainly will over look the inconvenience of the US suddenly relying on over 80% of its market cap tied to AI which has a single source in the foundries of TSMC, located in the Republic Of China, so proud our their heritage they built the 國立故宮博物院 as a beacon of their cause, making NVIDIA chips Chinese made, in the hands of Han Chinese, reading/writing/speaking Mandarin Chinese. Don't worry US investors, Jenson's got this one under control. What's that? His entire companies fortunes and thus the fate of the US economy is a mere 100mi offshore the mainland missile silos?

China invested in Indian and traded with India, USA has done nothing. Even today India relies on China for many things like raw pharmaceutical goods which Indias pharmaceutical industry is reliant on. Same with cheap quality smartphones and other stuff. without China most Indians won't even be able to get online since they can't afford apple or Samsung phones etc. India is too corrupt. Every infrastructure project you need to pay 50% of the total project cost just for BRIBES. just like everything else in India. completely corrupt bribery country.

China is not been rich by charity but from Chinese people’s hard work! What about the United States?

Since the Tiananmen Incident in 1989,China has been under sanctions. Moreover, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, so they dont need China any more. His points are riddled with contradictions.

South Korea cannot get out without China's help.

Prof. Mearsheimer's analysis is as genuine and as objective as it can get. That is why the CNN's do not invite him as much as they do to the so called experts, tuned to justify externally defined missions. Palki's hypothetical scenarios seem to unconsciously imply the presence of a central power from which multipolarity can be built. Instead, those who strive or are set to build a sustainable multipolar order ought to think in terms of playing their respective role as in placing themselves around a circle where no one among them is sitting at the center. Idealistic as it may seem, that may be what to aspire to. Palki Sharma a fav journalist, except for her excessively hard hitting stance on China.
