But how long can she last? 6 months? Japan is becoming almost irrelevant compared to China's rise. Talking about China's rise, below is Justin Yifu Lin's take. Lin was the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. The article addresses the following 3 questions:
It‘s in India‘s best interest to keep a low profile at least with the current dominant power in the world while they develop their own country. It‘s the smart strategy to play here. When there was tariffs imposed on India, many here predicted that India would react emotionally and would openly challenge the US which didn‘t happen. This is one of the examples where Chinese or East Asians in general don‘t have much of a clue how societies/cultures outside of East Asia work.
India nowadays is not interested in playing geopolitics that much. They subscribe to Deng Xiaoping‘s policy of keeping a low profile and never taking the lead. Outside of some conflicts with Pakistan, it does not even throw its weight in South Asia. This has however not always been the case. During Cold War, India was acting as the leader in non aigned movement, they started a massive conflict with Pakistan and split it in half, conquered Goa from the Portugese, intervened in Sti Lankan civil war etc. it‘s not like India can‘t get a thing or two done if it chooses to act irrationally but these days they are doing the right thing by focusing on economic development.
The japanese emperor was and is an unpunished war criminal. What are you talking about? The emperor personally authorized the 731 army, which did live experiments on chinese, Korean and Russian civilians
Excuse me, I'm just curious, "Did you live on Cybertron before?"
Do you think this year's war between India and Pakistan was an act focused on economic development?
A country with one of the lowest per capita GDPs and one of the lowest hunger rates, spending tens of billions of dollars on foreign military equipment without facing any apparent threat of external invasion, do you still think it's focused on economic development?
One day they say they want to wipe Pakistan off the face of the earth, and the next day they're stationing troops in Sri Lanka. What a model of peace!
If what India is doing is considered “keeping a low profile” then I’m the fattest person in all of North America.
Lol wut? There was a terrorist attack in India and shortly after there was a small conflict for a few days. You must live in the la la land if you think it was a war. Now, I don‘t know the truth behind allegations that Pakistan was directly involved but it doesn‘t matter. Also once again, you are showing you have no clue about you are talking about. There are no Indian troops in Sri Lanka. Also Google says India‘s defence expenditure as a share of its GDP is 1.9%. Not at all a representative of a country that sacrifices economy for military.
There are nationalists everywhere. The difference is that in China, the CPC reins them in. Whereas in the West those nationalists are effectively encouraged by their government to pillage and plunder.
Foreign power came in and removed Hitler, do you have problem with that. To Chinese, the japanese emperor is the japanese version of Hitler
India is indeed keeping a low profile if you ignore all the bullshit instagram reels and Facebook comments and what not. They are also learning a great deal from China in this regard. In the same manner if I were to read some comments here, I would get the impression that China is a hot tempered irrational country but the comments here are not a represenative of actual Chinese policy.
I suggest you to pay attention to actual politics instead of what the average joe in every country has say on the internet.
