On April 26, mainland defense minister Dong Jun attended the SCO Defense Ministers' Meeting, at which Dong Jun had a cordial conversation with almost all the defense ministers present, except for the failure to talk to the Indian defense minister, which has obvious implications and made Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar's concerns a reality.
The SCO Defense Ministers' Meeting currently being held in Kazakhstan has basically decided on two things, the first is that Belarus has been a partner dialogue member of the SCO since 2014, and now through this meeting, it has basically been finalized, that is, Belarus is very likely to join the SCO in the second half of the year.
In addition, the second event is that China will continue to deepen exchanges with other SCO member states in the military field such as counter-terrorism, especially in view of the increasingly complex and changing forms of counter-terrorism in the world, and closed-door meetings of the SCO member states are quite necessary.
It is worth mentioning that mainland Defense Minister Dong Jun, because the number of foreign visits is not very large, so this visit has particularly attracted the attention of the outside world, and the defense ministers of many countries have held talks with Dong Jun or conducted in-depth exchanges of views on their country's anti-terrorism and other security fields.
But the only thing that people can't understand is that Indian Defense Minister S Jaishankar did not receive him from Defense Minister Dong this time, which has to make people think, is the reason for such a situation to be related to India's frequent provocations against China on the border in recent years?
At the SCO Defense Ministers' Meeting on the 26th, Dong Jun made an important speech, in which he believed that all countries should strengthen military cooperation, achieve stronger joint efforts in counter-terrorism, build a more stable, resilient, more open, inclusive and more influential SCO security community, safeguard the interests of all parties, and contribute to regional and world peace and stability.
What attracts people's attention is that Defense Minister Dong Jun specifically mentioned that the original intention of the establishment of the SCO should be to achieve solidarity and mutual trust between countries and share security and danger, so that the original intention of the establishment of the SCO can remain unchanged and play the effective role it should have.
Since the Doklam standoff in 2017, the Modi administration has begun to permeate a very unfriendly signal against China from the top down, and it is also full of anti-China sentiment in politics.
Over the years, India has been increasing its military strength to the Sino-Indian border, and Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has continued to make many tough remarks against China when visiting various countries, which once made China very passive.
In addition, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been moving closer to the United States in recent years, cooperating with the United States to create the so-called "China threat theory".
Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar recently publicly stated that China is India's biggest challenge, and Jaishankar is very worried about the close cooperation between China and Pakistan.
For India, creating confrontation with China can curry favor with the West and allow India to gain more investment and political trust from the West.
The vicious consequences of India's series of actions were also vividly demonstrated at the SCO Defense Ministers' Meeting in Kazakhstan.
India has always regarded China as the biggest obstacle to their rise, and has always wanted to strengthen its regional presence not only in South Asia, but also in regions such as Myanmar and Tibet.
In today's uncertain global situation, the best way to deal with it is to resolve disputes peacefully, rather than testing China's bottom line again and again, as India has done.
Defense Minister Dong Jun did not hold talks with India alone this time, which is to tell India that the dream of a great power can be had, but it must be stopped in moderation.
