Chinas future depends on how it harmonizes with india. Both have a long history of coexistence. India realized this long back as hindi China bhai bhai , but it backfired on us. So we have retreated back. China can't have peace without india and india without China. But they have to realise this first. India has retreated back and even vary and suspicious now of China after ladhak fiasco. India sees China as a threat now. This suits west So its not going to change. China has to manage a hostile asia. Japan Korea, Phillipines,India,veitnam, Australia, Taiwan, Israel, China is not exactly popular Its money is desired but its control is not

[@dnickaroo3574]

China has close relations with ASEAN Nations, Both Koreas, Japan, Australia & NZ through RCEP. China has close relations with Russia, Iran, + Nations in Middle East, Africa, and South America.

India has to balance US and China. Their cold war should not become our hot war. We are not bothered about China ,its society or growth. Till it threatened us. Now China is viewed as a clear and only real threat. China has done a self goal. INDIA has grown closer to US because of China. Only because of Chinas aggression. China has miscalculated badly. Next US president will court Russia and isolate China. China Russia friendship is fragile. Its only because of need. Russia has no choice. Given a choice they would be closer to Europe. But its not. Given a choice india would love to have good relations with China and US both. But China has repeatedly threatened india. So US is a strong partner, Russia a friend, China an aggressive neighbour

[@xijinpig8982]

[@taazaspices7500]

Dr. Samir's views are profound, I had to take a deep breadth after he concluded it.

[@WowLuvya]

India is the EU of the Indo-Pacific. Dr. Samir summed it very well. India is not one thing, she is many things. She has so much to learn from all the mistakes of the USA, EU, China and others. China was also an EU but under Mao she was forced to throw out differences and compound similarities and that has worked for a while but she has created a heavy handed governance that do not empower all her peoples and differences. India, on the other hand has the opportunity to develop differently. Empowering all her individual states to develop in economies and culture unique to them yet part of a greater India. Herein, is the CHALLENGE FOR A NEW INDIA AND HER CURRENT LEADERS. There are big cultural and spiritual differences between India and China. India has suffered much in the hands of the Brits but she is still able to OVERCOME that impact and continue forward movement without revenge. KARMA is QUITE ENOUGH! China also suffered much in the hands of the Brits but they take their humiliation to another level. They are clearly extremely successful and by virtue of their own numbers can continue well with or without the rest of the world. However, they have a great need to show the world how SUCCESSFUL they really are. But the difficulty came, in being too overt to challenge the USA, the hand that supported her, and at the same time intimidate most of her neighbours. India is not yet ready to take on anybody nor should she. She has quite enough in taking care of her own peoples and issues. SHE has an amaZing future to develop without going too fast, keeping her integrity to her own peoples and the people of the world and LEARNING FROM THE MISTAKES OF ALL THE BIG NATIONS. INDIA has an incredible strength of her own culturally, spiritually and developmentally. She is not easily influenced or swayed in negative ways for power and control. It seems to come naturally to India. Others, easily give her the power. I think, most of us recognize the higher good that India represents for peace and security in the world. Wish her great success and good partnerships with the rest of the world.

China is getting paranoid by INDIA's international approach. Why? Each country has to focus on growth/Modernization. India wants a global family. China and US want their family to dominate the world. Hope the world concentrates more on cooperation rather than domination. This will help poor countries to participate in the growth/Modernisation.

44:49 India wants multi-polar Asia but uni-polar South Asia, as the Chinese delegate put it & forgets an essential factor. It is about Asian identity. Just as Europe has an identity of its own, doesn't mean Asia too should have "one". Geographically "Eurasia" is one continent & Europe is part of it. The others are "Central", "West", "South", "South-East", "East" & "North Asia" (major portion of Russia): each with own identity on par with "Europe" (comparable in size) & with a dominant country . Half of humanity is in "S", "SE" & "E" Asia, that has to be viewed thus. Chinese argument is unsustainable as it views Asia on par with Europe! Focus of Indo-Pacific (Pacific & Indian Oceans) region is "Malacca" straits - both trade-wise and (as a consequence) militarily.
