Recently, the curtain of the Shangri-La dialogue fell, but US Defense Secretary Austin did not return home after the meeting, but set foot on Indian soil. Needless to say, the aim is clearly to win over India and thus achieve two major intentions. First, to disintegrate the "traditional friendship" between Russia and India that is brewing; Second, use India to confront the mainland.
However, although everyone knows that the United States has recently made many superficial efforts to curry favor with India, the actual situation is different. It is worth noting that Austin's trip to India was not actually for nothing. In a way, he has achieved the second goal. India may think that it has grasped the friendly hand of the United States, and it has become more confident and has begun to challenge China with bold rhetoric.
According to the Times of India, the commander of the Indian Air Force recently said that the Indian Air Force now has the ability to implement "credible deterrence" against China. This is mainly due to the fact that the Indian army now has sufficient aircraft, missiles, radars and other equipment, as well as a robust infrastructure.
Perhaps many people will scoff at this news and disagree with India's blind confidence. In the past, whenever the Indian side made such ironic statements, these topics basically became popular jokes.
What is striking, however, is that our PLA has also turned a deaf ear to the joint demonstration of the United States and India to itself. They even carried out a merciless "humiliation" of India in front of the whole world.
When attending the Asian Security Forum in Singapore, a reporter asked Zhao Xiaozhuo, a senior colonel of the People's Liberation Army, how big is the gap in strength between the Chinese and Indian militaries? Senior Colonel Zhao Xiaozhuo did not let the Indians lose face, bluntly saying that it is difficult for India to catch up with China in the next few decades. He even asked in a playful "soul rhetorical question" way: "Which of the planes, warships, and tanks is independently developed and manufactured by India?" It can be said that Senior Colonel Zhao Xiaozhuo's response can definitely make India deeply embarrassed.
Frankly, the arrogant declaration of the commander of the Indian Air Force, claiming to have sufficient equipment to create a "credible deterrent" against us, is still in fact a "bluff". To put it more bluntly, this is tantamount to "made in all nations", and can even be described as a "motley army".
Today, despite Austin's promises to help India develop its military industry, it is worth noting that the United States' own military production capacity has already fallen sharply, making it difficult to meet the needs of its own country and its allies. It is simply unrealistic for the United States to replace the Russian-made equipment widely used in the Indian army. Moreover, the current overtures of the United States to India are only a stopgap measure. Unless the United States gives up its hegemony, how can they really help India become a top military power? As far as Asia is concerned, the mainland is already a headache for them, let alone another such a strong competitor?
In general, judging from the various statements and measures of the United States and the mainland, I can't help but imagine a scene in which the United States is playing tricks like a "fool", while we are like bystanders, watching this "fool" act recklessly on the international stage and become the laughing stock after the global tea and dinner.
In this intricate international arena, the virtual and the real are intertwined, and the appearance and the substance are intricate. And it is in this intricacies that we have to remind ourselves that international politics is not a simple game, but a serious game involving tens of millions of lives and interests.
