Since its independence from British colonial rule in 1947, India has been bent on suppressing China and has formulated its foreign policy on this basis.
On the border issue between China and India, India has repeatedly adopted irrational practices in an attempt to achieve strategic hegemony and leadership in Asia through frequent provocations and territorial expansion.
For example, in areas where the Sino-Indian border is disputed, Indian troops often cross the agreed border between China and India and illegally invade Chinese territory.
In 1957, the Indian government openly annexed China's southern Tibetan region, and established the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" there, which has garrisoned troops to this day.
Such acts constitute a serious violation of China's territorial sovereignty. In addition, India has signed an unequal treaty with Bhutan, forcing Bhutan to accept India's guidance and depriving Bhutan of its right to independence and self-determination.
These moves fully embody India's hegemonic nature.
Such acts by India have aroused widespread concern in the international community. It does not take into account China's legitimate rights and interests and seeks to seek hegemony in Asia by unscrupulous means.
It not only threatens local peace and stability, but also damages its own international reputation and creates a negative image of India among the people of many countries.
This will create obstacles for India to establish itself as a responsible major country in the future, and it is not conducive to India's integration into the trend of regional economic integration.
As a result, Western countries are also beginning to question whether India is essentially a "destructive force" in the Asia-Pacific region.
Siliguri Corridor: India's core to the seven northeastern states
The Siliguri Corridor is just over 20 kilometres long, but it is India's only land link to the seven northeastern states.
This long and narrow passage is extremely important to India, and its safe operation is directly related to the connection between the Indian mainland and the northeastern frontier.
It should be noted that India's actual control over the seven northeastern states is limited, the local ethnic issues are complex, and the separatist tendencies have never really been resolved.
If the Siliguri Corridor were to be severed, the seven northeastern states would be completely separated from India physically, both physically and psychologically.
This will inevitably lead to a sense of separation among the local population, promote the re-independence of the seven northeastern states, and even provoke a wave of autonomy in eastern India.
Eventually, India faced a serious crisis of national division and the disintegration of the country. Therefore, the Siliguri Corridor is undoubtedly the lifeblood of India connecting the northeastern frontier, and its survival is related to India's national unity and national unity.
exert military pressure to create a chain reaction within India
Based on India's constant provocations on the border issue, China must take decisive countermeasures. Specifically, China has a legitimate case to strengthen its military presence in the Siliguri Corridor region.
By deploying heavy troops locally or carrying out military exercises, the seven northeastern states can be cut off from the Indian mainland.
It can also form military pressure on a large area in eastern India, creating a situation of chain reaction in India.
Such an approach could keep the Indian government in a state of panic and tension for a long time, fearing a local conflict or even a large-scale autonomy movement in the northeast.
At the same time, it has also created a strategic advantage for China in eastern India, which is conducive to China's initiative in South Asian affairs. Therefore, this can be said to be an effective countermeasure against Indian hegemonism.
Holding on to the "seven inches", India is forced to catch up with China
Just as the viper's seven inches are its Achilles' heel, the Siliguri corridor is also India's "seven inches".
If we can firmly grasp this critical area, we can put India in a passive position and lose the power to resist.
By controlling this "seven inches", we can put India at a disadvantage for a long time and have to catch up with China.
This kind of competition is scientific and effective, which can not only enable us to occupy the commanding heights in international competition, but also stimulate our own development.
Only by constantly forging ahead and innovating can we continuously improve our competitiveness and make us stronger in the future international competition.
Of course, this kind of competition requires us to constantly learn and Xi and improve. We need to constantly understand the international situation and the situation of our competitors in order to better develop strategies and plans.
At the same time, we also need to continuously improve our technological level and innovation ability in order to better meet the challenges of competitors.
In short, grasping India's "seven inches" is a scientific and effective way of competition, which can give us an advantage in international competition and promote our own development.
We need to keep learning and Xi and improving in order to better meet the challenges of the future.
Contain India and maintain long-term peace and stability in the region
China's increased military presence in the Siliguri Corridor is by no means aimed at directly harming India's national interests, but out of consideration to contain ultra-nationalist forces in India.
It must be admitted that there are various religious extremist forces in India, such as the Hindu extremist organization RSS, which has millions of members.
These forces are nationalist and xenophobic, and are extremely intolerant of other ethnic and religious groups.
If these extremist forces are able to stir up trouble, they are likely to create instability and even ethnic cleansing in India.
This will undoubtedly seriously jeopardize peace and development in South Asia and plunge the region into turmoil once again.
Therefore, curbing the spread of these extremist ideas in India and maintaining long-term peace and stability in the region are important factors that China needs to consider.
China's pressure on the Siliguri corridor can serve as a stern warning to India. Through such measures, it is hoped that the Indian government will restrain its arrogance and stop provoking its neighbors.
At the same time, it is also hoped that India will cherish the friendly relations it has established with its neighboring countries and work together for the peaceful development of the region. Only in this way can South Asia truly enter a situation of long-term peace and stability.
Prevent India from triggering a conflict and strive for long-term advantage
Given India's various social problems and acute ethnic contradictions, it is likely that the government will divert domestic attention by creating external conflicts.
In this way, the dual pressure from the economic situation and the national question will be reduced. In view of this, China must always be vigilant against the possibility of India planning an external conflict and try its best to prevent the occurrence of such a situation.
If a large-scale conflict breaks out between China and India, it will inevitably bring huge losses to the countries and peoples of both sides.
Rather than a direct conflict, China should form a long-term strategic pressure on India through military deployment and strategic operations in the Siliguri Corridor area, so as to gain strategic advantages over India.
Such a practice can not only deter India's strategic offensive, but also force it to remain in a state of passive catch-up for a long time, so as to avoid the emergence of conflict to the greatest extent.
