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.

It’s not Facebook comments and instagram reel, it’s their government and higher ups echoing the same bullshit as their media. Remember classics like Supapowa by 2020? That wasn’t just something the average Joe came up with. This is not even accounting for them actively assassinating separatists in Canada and the U.S.

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.

A war is a war, and it can't be ignored just because it's short!
In a border terrorist attack, India blamed Pakistan before conducting a thorough investigation and even began mobilizing troops to the border. Is this what a normal country would do?
Is it what a peace-loving country would do to bomb homes in a neighboring country without hesitation?
Violating the Indus River Agreement, arbitrarily closing the upstream sluice gates and then suddenly opening them, causing flooding downstream, can be considered, without hesitation, a crime against humanity.
I don't have the time to go into detail about what India has done to its neighbors. You should learn about Sikkim's history yourself.

The superpower 2020 meme comes from a book of a man called Abdul Kalam. He wrote this book in 1998. This was a long time ago and the man was delusional at the time. If you want to know what serious Indians think about their country, go to Skyscrapercity. You would see India being critized day in and out while China being used as a role model.

Now about assassinating separatists, I agree it was a step way too far. It was a rare occurance after all and I hope they learnt their lesson. The questions you would have to be asking is, is India conducting „freedom of navigation operations“ in Taiwan? Is Indis arming Taiwan? Is India stationing troops anywhere outside of India? The answer is a big fat no.

In a democracy, the people are suppose to be the ultimate leaders. So who's more responsible for the direction their country goes? As Americans said of all the civilians that died during the Iraq War... If they didn't want to suffer, they should've revolted before the US had to do change the government. That logic is more applicable in a democracy.

Using Taiwan as a comparison here completely reveals your ignorance!
Look at the UN's definition of Taiwan! Then, check the declarations of all countries that have established diplomatic ties with China to see if there's a "One China" policy.

I honestly don‘t have a high opinion of democracy as I have said multiple times on this forum. Ordinary people who are not qualified have no business deciding complex policy decisions of a country. Whether it‘s done overtly as in China or covertly while providing the illusion of a choice, I don‘t care, as long as the country is taking sensible decidions.

I honestly don't understand why there are still scholars in China that likes to worship the west saying western culture is great for China when it's not (The city today has no french influence). The scholar said that the french built a hospital in 1922 but conviently forgets that this was the bare minimum from french and not a charitable action. It dosen't take a genius to conclude that the Western World are the biggest grifters on the planet because they never practice what they preach (ehem free trade my ass and demand assimilation when you force your values on others in their country). The west literally ruined Chinese society by flooding drugs into it and they tried to replace the culture with western one by brainwashing the "scholars" at the time. I honestly wished Xi Jinping would have more power than he does now so that his cultural confidence could actually be a reality.

Just my personal experience. I am neither Indian nor Chinese. Anyone here from a third party can also chime in and offer a different perspective.

I dunno. You have been making a lot of troll comments lately. As a 2025 account it always is possible you're just one of those banned accounts making a new one.

There was some guy claiming to be from Tibet after all which got exposed as another banned account here. Let's not forget all those Twitter Greek statue right wing (decline of the west) accounts which turned out to be Indians engagement farming.

Well you were commenting on the measuring citizens' opinions of other countries focusing on the Chinese peoples' as if it was worse than what they say in the West of other countries in private. By that logic Western citizens are more liable since they vote for their leaders while in China their opinions have no impact on their leaders actions since they don't vote for their leaders. So who's worse are the ones that get to vote for their leaders.

My point was that you can‘t gauge out the scope of policies of a country based on internet comments. We take the tariff debacle between India and the US as an example. If you were to guess from online comments how India would respond to the US, you would think that India would immediately challenge the US the next day but in reality Indian response was silently negotiating a deal while not making any noise. If you read the comments on Trump thread here, many were predicting that India would react loudly and irrationally because people here are trying to guess politics of a country based on online comments but this did not happen in reality.
