The U.S. Secretary of State’s trip to Asia is his anti-China trip. In order to attract more allies to fight against China, the U.S. allows the Secretary of State to visit Asia, hoping to attract some allies for the United States. Except for the countries that the United States has a good opinion of, most countries do not want to join the so-called anti-China alliance of the United States. At this time, confronting China will not gain benefits, but will also suffer economic losses. Obviously, the gains outweigh the gains.
But India’s thinking is quite different. They need to hug the thighs of the United States at this time. After all, the conflict between India and China in the border area has not stopped. If India receives US military assistance or can win arms purchase orders at this time, then India The military strength of the United States will be greatly improved. This visit by the US Secretary of State has also reached a new military cooperation agreement with India. India will receive satellite intelligence and sensitive information provided by the United States. However, the Indian media has shown that just after the Secretary of State leaves India Disappointed.
India’s Defense News Network reported that although the dialogue between the United States and India appeared lively, it did not achieve any substantive results. The so-called military agreement cannot bring substantial improvement to India, and the United States has been practicing the policy of priority to the United States. Everything will take the lead in considering the interests of the United States. India is more of a pawn of the United States.
The Indian media also said that don’t think about how uneasy Pompeo’s visit to India will make China feel. On the contrary, after this action, India will make many traditional Indian allies change their attitude towards India, becoming vigilant and disappointed.
At the same time, India does not want the United States to interfere too much in its internal affairs at this time. If the United States sows the separation in the Sino-Indian conflict, then India is likely to be controlled by the United States. This is also something that India does not allow, although it wants to be favored by the United States. , But not at the cost of national sovereignty.
In fact, India is not only looking for cooperation with the United States, India is also seeking assistance from the European Union. Although many Muslims in India are boycotting French President Macron, the Indian government has decided to strengthen the Indo-Pacific partnership with France to fight against China’s expansion. behavior. France is also a member of the anti-China coalition. Although he has not explicitly sanctioned Chinese companies, he has been united with the United States. India and France are obviously in unison.
During the Sino-Indian border conflict in September this year, the French Defense Minister Florence paid a visit to India. This visit also reached a military cooperation agreement with India. India is also France's most important military purchaser. In the past 10 years, India has ordered more than 13 billion euros in weapons and equipment from France.
