No one expected that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has always been very tough on the Sino-Indian border issue and was adding tens of thousands of troops to the Sino-Indian border some time ago, has suddenly undergone a major reversal in his attitude toward China in recent days, and has gone so far as to openly call for seizing the time to resolve the Sino-Indian border issue as soon as possible. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Modi's attitude has really softened this time, so what is the reason for such a huge change in Modi's attitude?
According to relevant reports, recently, Modi publicly stated in an interview that the protracted issue of the Sino-Indian border should be resolved as soon as possible and the obstacles in Sino-Indian interaction should be removed, and that Sino-Indian relations are very important and of great significance to India, and whether Sino-Indian relations can develop healthily and steadily will also have an impact on the regional and even global situation.
From Modi's statement, we can clearly see that Modi has not only begun to show some sincerity in the Sino-Indian border issue this time, as well as the importance he attaches to Sino-Indian relations, but also makes people feel that he is now very urgent to rapidly improve Sino-Indian relations and solve the Sino-Indian border issue.
First, Modi has now finally realized that India is now facing serious pressure from "multi-front" operations, and it is simply unable to afford the huge logistical pressure and expense of deploying heavy troops on the Sino-Indian border.
On the one hand, India has been in constant conflict with Pakistan because of the issue of Kashmir's ownership, and at the same time, India is also very chaotic internally, with various rebels and local armed conflicts constantly chaotic. Under such circumstances, if the Sino-Indian border issue is not resolved, India is likely to face an embarrassing situation of "multi-front operations" once something happens in the future, and a large number of heavy troops will be deployed to the Sino-Indian border, and India, which consumes a huge amount of money every day, will very likely fall into the dilemma of insufficient troops on other fronts and a serious shortage of military resources.
Therefore, Modi's hope to resolve the Sino-Indian border issue as soon as possible this time actually shows from another perspective that India is likely to change its strategic focus and focus its main forces and resources on calming the chaotic situation in the country and increasing its troops to deal with Pakistan.
Second, as one of the world's largest economies, China and even the United States have taken the initiative to come to China to deepen cooperation, which shows how important it is for a country's economic development to catch the "fast train" of China's rapid development. Modi has apparently figured this out now, believing that in recent years, due to the Sino-Indian border issue, China and India have had many problems in terms of economy and trade and Chinese enterprises' investment in India, which has led to serious losses to the Indian economy.
Modi's call for a speedy resolution of the Sino-Indian border issue is actually a "good signal" to China, marking that future cooperation between China and India in the economic and trade fields may usher in a new and important turning point from this incident.
Third, from a geopolitical point of view, India's move obviously also has the potential to ease China's strategic pressure, allowing China to concentrate more energy and resources on containing the United States, so that India itself can better "make a fortune quietly".
Modi obviously knows very well in his heart that although the United States and the West have been trying their best to win over themselves in recent years, this is just trying to use themselves to deal with China, and India will obviously never be a real ally of the United States and the West.
Therefore, for India, taking the initiative to help China ease the pressure on the Sino-Indian border is actually helping China better concentrate its forces on fighting the United States and the West in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and other regions, so that it can contain the United States, give itself more development opportunities and development events, and help Modi realize his strategic ambition of dominating South Asia and the Indian Ocean, and become a major power with real global influence.
All in all, for us, if Modi can really show sincerity, we are naturally willing to work in the same direction to solve the Sino-Indian border issue, of course, it is still the same sentence, for Modi, we should still "listen to his words, watch his deeds", and in the end, whether the Sino-Indian border issue can be truly resolved depends on the real actions of the Indian side in the future.
