Opinion: Modi likes to project muscular nationalism — except when it comes to China

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping attend the BRICS summit in Goa, India, in 2016. By Barkha Dutt Barkha Dutt Email Bio Follow March 22 Last year, Narendra Modi, speaking in Russia about India’s relationship with China, boasted that “not a single bullet has been fired” by either country despite a 40-year-old border dispute.

Its commitment to invest $60 billion in a China-Pakistan Economic Corridor , a network of infrastructural projects, is part of its larger aim to counter the rise of India in Asia. China has long used its economic investments for strategic expansionism, especially in countries that share a border with India. Whether it’s Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka or the Maldives, China has dangled investments in exchange for influence.

In other ironies, the BJP, an otherwise hypernationalist ruling party, has put few restrictions on China’s infiltration of the Indian markets. A trade deficit that hit $63 billion in 2017 to 2018 has seen Chinese goods displace Indian manufacturers. Chinese companies have taken control of 51 percent of India’s smartphone market in just one example of its economic neo-imperialism.

China is a complex case to India. It supports terrorists of Pak. India China relations have conflicts and mutual benefits at a same time. On Doklam India stood firmly. On masood azhar, pressue is on China. It's not that simple.

Oh come on. Hold your guns for now. China cannot be dealt the same way as Pakistan. Diplomacy and Strategic planning has to be different with both countries as India has different relationship with both countries. Wait and watch. Don't just jump on conclusion yet

MashfiqlB yeh hain Modi jee 👍🏼

Do u want India to fight against China? For what reason and What are to trying to instigate, a War? Why do u worry about what India is doing and her diplomatic moves? Well, what else to expect from a yellow paper like u. I must humbly request you, to mind your own business.

madhukishwar plz read it, some1 is angry on pm bcoz he is strong willed against Pakistan and has used flawed facts to attack him on China

China has been building its military strength over 20 yrs & India is only starting to! Ind needs to catch up & will ! Ind has 2 hostile neighbors China/Pak hence diplomacy is best deal with China for now & trade surplus with India will also be used by Ind when the time is right

Barkha Dutt and Washington Post forgot how Modi kicked out from Dokhlam.

Extremist Hindu Terrorist state of India and Modi the ex most wanted by CIA , well Trump & Bush are Terrorists who created many Terrorist like the One Who Killed many Peaceful innocent Musselmaans

Fantastic 💩 by BDUTT Any reader will understand her cunningness Criticise: -Pakistan for Terrorism - China for supporting terror Show sympathy for Uyghur Muslims oppressed by China! But not utter a word for persecution of Hindus in Pakistan🙄

Hilarious pic 🤣

Excellent read BDUTT Rightly identifies the irony in BJP4India strategy towards China. What’s the compulsion that’s holding Modi back

Outsourced IT is Indias's 50 % GNP... America's national security issue...

Don’t kowtow to China, be strong. Remember they support Pakistan.
