There is never love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason.
In a complex and ever-changing international community, only interests can shake relations between countries.
Recently, India, which has always been "good brothers" with the United States, may be sad. The small ship of friendship between the United States and India is facing the invasion of wind and waves.
On November 21, the Global Network reported that the US State Department had suddenly raised India's travel warning to level two. Why? It turned out to be because of "extremism" and "sexual assault".
The U.S. State Department says sexual assault is one of the fastest-growing crimes in India, with violent crime incidents that often occur at tourist attractions or elsewhere. Therefore, all Americans traveling to India must remain vigilant.
I have to say that this paper travel warning of the United States directly makes India unable to come to Taiwan.
On the one hand, on November 8 this year, the Biden administration just lifted global travel restrictions and resumed international travel activities.
India, which was originally included in the fourth-level warning list by the United States because of the new crown epidemic, was also released at that time.
Now, in less than half a month, the United States has once again raised its travel warnings against India, and the reason is that there are too many violent crimes. This is undoubtedly a blatant "humiliation" of India, leaving Modi's face glazed over.
On the other hand, as a world power, the United States can be called the "bellwether" of the Western world, and its decision may lead to European countries following the trend.
In other words, India is being put in a full "public sentence" by the United States in the world. If the White House certifies That India is not safe, then other countries in the West will presumably stay away from India.
As a result, India's tourism economy will suffer a major blow.
But why is the U.S. doing this? Isn't New Delhi an important part of Washington's "Indo-Pacific Strategy"?
There may be two reasons for this.
First, Russian-Indian relations are escalating day by day, and the United States is "retaliating" against India.
It should be known that on November 16 this year, the Russian Federal Agency for Military Technical Cooperation issued a statement saying that the S-400 anti-missile system purchased by India has entered the delivery stage.
In other words, the arms purchase friendship between India and Russia has deepened. The S-400 is no longer a contract number, but a weapon entity received by Indian troops.
In this regard, of course, the United States is furious. When US Defense Secretary Austin visited India at the beginning of the year, he once put down harsh words and said that if India insisted on buying S-400, Washington would impose economic sanctions on it.
Combined with the consistent operation of the United States, the promotion of India's tourism warning to the second level may be to put pressure on New Delhi.
If Modi is still unwilling to compromise, then the United States may really want to sanction India.
Second, India's security problems are indeed very serious, providing room for the United States to play.
In fact, the U.S. State Department's warning is the truth, and sexual assault is indeed common in India.
In 2012, the gang rape of buses in India attracted worldwide attention, and in the years since, violent crimes in the country have emerged without any trend of decreasing.
According to India's National Crime Records Agency, more than 28,000 cases of sexual assault against women were recorded in 2020. This is only a case in which the person concerned has reported the case and has only been recorded.
In India, there are many people who are violated and dare not speak out.
It can be said that there are problems in the current state of public order in India, which allows the United States to take advantage of the opportunity to perform the trick of "defending human rights" in public.
But then again, wouldn't it be fifty steps for the United States to raise India's travel warning to level two on the grounds of "extremism" and "violent crime"?
If we talk about chaos, radicalism, and high crime rates, how good can the United States itself be?
Over the past weekend, violence and crime have been rife on the streets of the United States.
On November 22, a car crash occurred in Wisconsin, USA. An off-road vehicle deliberately stormed the holiday parade on the street, killing at least 5 people and injuring more than 40 more.
This large-scale criminal incident once attracted the attention of the White House. Biden listened to the briefing for the first time and is considering further attention to the incident.
Before that, a 17-year-old teenager in the United States was found not guilty of shooting two people.
The verdict sparked a mass of protests and demonstrations, and in the chaos, many Americans stole and looted luxury stores on the street.
In this context, at a time when the average of 100 people die in shootings every day in the United States, what qualifications does Biden have to dictate the security situation in other countries?
In the end, it can only be said that the dog bites the dog's mouth hair.
The United States is nosy, India's heart is higher than the sky, if these two countries are involved in disputes over the issue of interests, the world has another "good drama" to watch.
