Recently, the first and second leaders of the US State Department have started a trip to Asia. On the 26th, the US Deputy Secretary of State just met with Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice Minister Xie Feng in China. Secretary of State Blinken then flew to India for a visit.
Due to a series of inciting moves by the United States and the clamor to negotiate with China "from the position of strength" before coming to China, it proves that the United States still has not released goodwill from the perspective of equal status, and such a condescending mentality will naturally not be welcomed. However, what people did not expect was that Secretary of State Blinken's trip to India also "overturned".
On the 26th, the Indian media published an article exposing the true face of the United States, believing that Americans are scheming and giving democracy lessons to other countries everywhere to "beautify themselves." In fact, not only the Indian media, but also a few days ago, US officials publicly stated that Blinken's visit to India was to discuss "human rights and democracy issues" with India.
Before Blinken left, many analysts had already made predictions. As the Biden administration inherits the political legacy of the Trump era, India's position among U.S. allies has risen to an unprecedented level. The White House has even placed India at the heart of the Indo-Pacific plan, and given india's importance, the United States will not pass up any opportunity to win india over.
Since the beginning of this year, the US government has interacted frequently with India's top level. In March, U.S. Defense Secretary Austin took the lead in visiting India, and the foreign ministers met again at the G7 Foreign Ministers' Summit. Soon Indian Foreign Minister Jasper sojaers visited the United States

In recent years, India has not only moved closer to the United States in terms of trade and military, but also become more and more dependent on the United States politically. Clear-eyed people can see that India is now the weakest link in the four-country talks mechanism, and it has also been criticized by many Western countries as a drag.
This was Blinken's first visit to India. However, before Blinken arrived in India, the Indian media had already begun to contradict it.
On the 26th local time, the Indian website published an article exposing the real purpose of the American trip: Americans will hold high the stick of human rights and democracy to the Indians, which makes many people unbearable.
Although India is not rich and the economic strength is not strong, in the hearts of many people, India is the world's largest democracy, which can tolerate other countries to point fingers.
The article pointed out that the United States has been sensationalizing and occupying the moral high ground, but the United States itself is not a perfect model. Moreover, under the guise of justice, the United States has "brought down many democratic governments" and even invaded Iraq and other countries on trumped-up charges.
After the Biden administration came to power, it seems that it did not change this way of thinking, but intensified its "beautification of itself." In response, the Indian people's reaction is also very strong, just under the tweet of Blinken's visit to India, some Indian people warned the United States not to preach to India on the issue of democracy, because self-righteous Americans are not messengers of democracy.
This article argues that the Biden administration has always liked to make a fuss about human rights and democracy issues, but at the same time, as India's "good friend", the United States does not want to over-stimulate India, on the one hand, these pretexts may be one of the few "common topics" between the two countries; on the other hand, the United States needs to be a "teacher" on these clichéd issues, which is easy to highlight its own sense of existence, so contradictions are inevitable.
However, now that the true face of the United States has been exposed, even the good friends who are trying to win it over will not buy it. The United States has shown its decline, and it is difficult to do so if it wants to hold high the banner of human rights and democracy as before to fool the world.
