India, the hegemon of South Asia, has always held itself very high, confronted China at every turn, and wants to become a world power comparable to China! According to a recent report by the global network, India's financial crime agency suddenly arrested two senior employees of the Indian branch of Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo. China's vivo India said it would protect its legitimate rights and interests through legal channels.
Two months ago, the Indian agency arrested several executives of Vivo India, including a Chinese national, who claimed they were suspected of money laundering, but Vivo denied the allegation. Since the border clashes between China and India in 2020, India has stepped up its scrutiny of Chinese companies' investments in India.
In fact, India is interested in dealing with Chinese companies, and it can find excuses at any time, and the so-called money laundering or something is just a common trick used by India. Many Chinese companies, such as vivo, Xiaomi, OPPO and other mobile phone manufacturers, have been censored by Indian authorities. Chinese mobile phones are of good quality and cost-effective, and are popular among young Indians, who should have created a good business environment for Chinese companies to invest and promote their own development, but India has gone the opposite way.
Of course, once India starts to go crazy, not to mention China, American companies will be targeted. World giants such as Apple and Microsoft in the United States have been scrutinized by Indian institutions, and India does not care whether those companies will continue to operate in India for a long time.
Since Modi came to power, India has set a number of goals, such as becoming one of the world's top five countries economically, and believing that with a labor force of more than one billion people, India can develop into an economic powerhouse. To this end, India vigorously attracts foreign investment from foreign enterprises, hoping to undertake the industrial chain of world-famous enterprises and build India into a new manufacturing center in the world. However, India's erratic strategy of attracting investment from other countries while censoring them will scare away many foreign investors. India's desire to become a great power, on par with China, may not be so easy to achieve.
In addition, India has repeatedly claimed that the permanent members of the UN Security Council should expand their seats to give India a place where it can play a greater role when it becomes a permanent member. U.S. President Joe Biden has promoted the Indo-Pacific strategy in order to win over India, and support India's accession to the norm. However, the unanimous consent of the five former permanent countries of China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France must be obtained. If any of the P5 countries do not agree, India will not be included in the permanent list and will not stand side by side with the P5.
India is located in South Asia, with a population surpassing China to become the world's most populous country, and its lunar probe has successfully landed on the moon, and its development potential should not be underestimated. However, India faces many challenges due to its border disputes with neighboring countries such as China and Pakistan, as well as the fact that there are many armed separatist forces in the country. If India wants to develop into a great power, it must not only continue to develop its economy, but also to reshape its image with its neighbors.
If India does not change its current contradictions and does not want to maintain friendship with its neighbors, then India can only nest in South Asia and become a regional power. A real world power should have an inclusive pattern, India only cares about the current interests, lacks long-term strategic vision, it is difficult to rank among the world powers, comparable to China, the United States and Russia!
