India has always regarded China as a competitor in Asia, and on the other hand, it has also coveted the beautiful and rich Tibet and Xinjiang, so it has deliberately provoked incidents in the Sino-Indian border areas from time to time. Therefore, due to India's improper mentality, Sino-Indian relations have not been very good.
In recent years, due to the constant prodding and wooing of the United States, and India's desire to find new "backers," the United States and India have become closer and closer. With the "backing" of the United States, India's provocative behavior in the Sino-Indian border area has also intensified day by day. At present, there is a risk of a gradual deterioration in China-India relations.
At a time when the uncertainty in Sino-Indian relations is highlighted, Russia is showing goodwill to India. According to relevant sources, not long ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially extended an invitation to External Minister S Jaishankar of the Modi government's government to visit Russia, and Jaishankar was warmly received by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Russia attaches great importance to India is actually understandable, India is one of the few countries that has not fallen to the war camp of the United States after the Russian-Ukrainian war, and it is also one of the few countries in the world that has not imposed so-called "economic sanctions" on Russia. In this case, if Russia wants to open up the situation in terms of economy and diplomacy, cooperation with India is actually one of the options.
However, we know that Sino-Russian relations have also developed by leaps and bounds in recent times, and the cooperation between China and Russia in the fields of economy, trade, energy and even cultural exchanges can be called thriving. And how should we view the strengthening of relations between India and Russia in this context?
First of all, I don't think such a situation is necessarily a bad thing. Because, on the one hand, Russia and India are both big countries, and there is a lot of room for cooperation between the two countries, and we can congratulate and respect this. On the other hand, and most importantly, Russia can actually act as a "buffer" between India and the United States, because the United States and Russia are now incompatible, and India, because of its friendly relations with Russia, will not completely fall to the United States. In the same way, Russia is also the "glue" of Sino-Indian relations, and in the context of Sino-Russian friendship and Russian-Indian friendship, China and India can actually maintain good communication channels.
In addition, in order to prevent the emergence of uncontrollable situations, we have actually taken the lead early on. In South Asia, in addition to India, there is another regional powerhouse that is Pakistan Railway. Once India really "has a hot brain", then the 600,000-strong army of Pakistan and the Railway will first be an insurmountable mountain for India. The good relations between China and Pakistan have long been one of the most feared points for India, because no matter what, India will not be able to win in the "two-front war".
In general, the good relations between China and Russia are the "glue" of China-India relations, and China-Pakistan relations are the "ballast stone" of China-India relations. On the premise that we have two major partners, Russia and Pakistan, there is still the possibility that China-India relations will gradually improve.
End of this issue.
