Why Xi Jinping Seeks Closer Ties With India? Fareed Zakaria Explains

[@user-zw5vc9bs8i]

LET ME TELL U FAREED. ZAKARIYA IS LIVING IN USA. THOUGH HE CAME FROM INDIA . THIS GUY HAS NO IDEA OF INDIA AND EAST NOW SO I THINK HIS OPINION HAS NO weight SORRY

[@ThomasOrtlaufpg]

He is not only living in the U.S. but working there as a journalist and political commentator, and although he sometimes is somewhat aloof and slightly critical of America, he just "can't stray away too much from the flock," if he wants to continue to be successful in his adopted country.

[@simonooi2544]

Just forgive him because he doesn't know anything about anything.

[@athulabar1]

Very correct!

[@sensean693]

That's a boat load of crap from this guy. India and China recently have come to term of respect and neighbors working together with BRICS, the only way forward for both countries. Neither one wants conflict. They're of a great historical countries with great potentials couple with Russia will put a final nail on the collective and colonial West coffin.

[@jasonjean2901]

The only reason it sounds confusing that Indian and Chinese troops would clash along the Line of Actual Control is because the Indian government narrative doesn't make any sense. Of course China gains nothing expanding south; there is nothing there, just more poor people to bring out of poverty and more territory to develop. However, if one actually takes the time to look at what India would gain from expanding north and lying about it, then things start to make sense very quickly. India has the world's largest population and they are quickly running out of drinkable water. India has heavily polluted all of its rivers, and they've almost completely drained their aquifer, so all their wells are running dry. They desperately need new water resources and the most obvious place to go for that would be...Tibet! In other words, while China has no reason to expand south, India has every reason to expand north. Let's also remember that China repeatedly attempted to negotiate their borders with India in the 1950s and India refused to negotiate its claims every time. Hence, the reason why there is a border dispute between China and India today is because India has never agreed to negotiate a stable border with China.

[@saburabdul-salaam2418]

Is India's population bigger than China's?

[@trekpac2]

Thank you for your excellent explanation. Zakaria should do his homework. With the International North South Corridor and so, India and China realize that their futures are intertwined and they’d better get this settled. Especially India has a lot to gain as China becomes more and more influential in West and Central Asia.

[@sikli938]

It is India who is seeking closer tide with China. FDI is leaving India in an alarming rate. USA is now turning against India; wall street is leading the way and many Indian CEOs are sacked. Now Adani is being indicted. US and Canada are tightening their immigration policy and Indians are main target. Which country in the world is economicslly strong enough to help India? And can stand up against the USA? Who needs who ?

Is Fareed out of his mind on the various comments he dished out? Being a trusted Senior commentator, every sentence from his mouth meant being well thought out. Lately he is another person in copy & paste from AP.

[@zhenzx]

Fareed was logical and fair about China until many years ago he suddenly turned very anti China, and many people noticed that. Either he’s well paid by the US anti China campaign or he noticed India his motherland needs extra dirty boost to help her rise from ashes thanks to Britain.

Fareed may now hold an American passport but he was born in India and can be forgiven for his innate pro-India bias. However his talking points involve very little analysis, I heard nothing new from what he said to Rahul, and is a rehash of standard CNN talking points. I’m sorry to say he seems to have become intellectually ineffective and lazy.

[@darvidkoh2707]

Bullshit analysis. It is India that is seeking closer ties with China and not the other way round. For one thing, India has a US$60 billion trade deficit with China year after year.

[@Poptop-z6n]

@ if anything China is the big man in any of these organisations, the creator. China is India’s number one trading partner. Forget about the nonsense coming from their Media. Any single item they need China has it cheap and at their doorstep. India in the other hand can’t export anything to China, that really hurts their ego. The Chinese are up for business nothing else I believe to keep the image of both organisations like SCO or BRICS shining China wouldn’t mind to initiate a rapprochement with India. By the way I heard Russian FM saying in many interviews when asked, that they the Russians are working towards a normalisation of relations between India and China. India also wants it and even more. 1. Because foreign investors are running away from India 2. Sanctions from the USA/Canada are coming for India 3. Pakistan asked directly on many occasions for a reset of their relations with India but the latter refused on many many times because India thinks they have the upper hand and that Pakistan needs them more

[@lachen7]

Why and how do you think China resolved it's land border issues with 15 countries out of 16? By being magnanimous and accommodative. Only India remains intransigence and unresolved because India thinks the colonial McMahon line which was drawn arbitrarily is sacrosanct. China never accepted this and unlikely to accept it. There lies the problem. India thinks the US and the West will support India. But will they? There are border issues with Bhutan too, which Bhutan and China are ready to resolve, but India is not allowing Bhutan to ink an Agreement. India should improve its conflict resolution skills. Look at the 8 decades Indo-Naga conflict. By showing some generosity and magnanimity, India could have long ago resolved the issue, but no, it wants to totally humiliate and subjucate the Nagas. India wants total surrender by the Nagas. Is it fair and reasonable? Can it resolve the conflict?

[@yt1536]

Well said. Based on facts & being objective.

[@RStyleAu]

India govt cannot solve border issue. Any agreement is considered surrender in its nationalism view. West is happy to propaganda and create conflict between China and India, watch tigers flight and bleed.

[@donbrad6011]

How come one country has so many border disputes? And why should India give away its land? What about Taiwan? China has always had expansionist views. Tibet was a free land.How about freeing Tibet.Your views are absolutely Chinese propaganda

[@funskymsg]

@@donbrad6011 Tibet has always been a religious hierarchical society, with a large population being slaves of lords and monks. The CCP wants to abolish this system, just as India abolished the caste system. The Dalai Lama wanted to maintain the privileges of the lords and monks, so he launched a failed rebellion.

No, China is not seeking closer ties with India. Fundamentally, we know that India will Never be Chinese friend; I believe India thinks the very same. What we are seeking is stabilizing the relationship, without going to serious military confliction. Luckly, Mother Nature does most of the job we want: hymalaya mountain stops most of the possibilities. That’s also why Chinese is now hurrying in building railways one after another in Xinjiang and Tibet. Xinjiang is almost done. Now the next focus will be Tibet, which might take another 2-3 decades

[@ganeshr4371]

yes true china just seeks friendship with smaller and less population countries like kenya, uganda, barkino faso, nepal, montanegro, peru etc etc. it's a part of politics basically. Basically china's strategy is to control asia, africa, south america...most of them smaller countries...most of them resource rich countries...By making India as friend means sharing the power with India. China knows India's potential for sure. So, basically keep India poor and weak is its strategy

[@yt1536]

The relations of one country with another are always a combination of cooperation and competition. China has been around for a long time.
