Since the India-Pakistan war, Modi has fallen from grace, and his various actions have left people at a loss for words. Just in the past couple of days, Modi, during a public speech, lost his composure again when he talked about the India-Pakistan war, and made a seemingly "ridiculous" request to 1.4 billion Indians: they should not buy any new foreign goods.

Why should Indians stop buying foreign goods? Modi gave two reasons:

The first reason is that by the time India celebrates its centenary of independence, which will be in 2047, India will surely become a developed country. By then, Indians will no longer need to use any foreign goods. Therefore, from now on, Indians should start to adapt to this.

The second reason is that Modi stated: the victory of the "Shindur Operation" against Pakistan must rely on the strength of all Indian people, not just on the military. So, the "Shindur Operation" must now be extended to the 1.4 billion Indians, so everyone can participate. Not buying foreign goods is what ordinary citizens can do for their own country.

Wow, it's hard to imagine that these are the words of a leader of a major country in the 21st century. Now, I would like to ask the Western countries: is this the Eastern superpower with "Western-style democracy" that you have been promoting in recent years? What Modi said has exposed his meager political and economic literacy. Without opening up the trade market globally, how can India become a developed country? And how can it join the United Nations Security Council? Clearly, Modi hasn't thought this through. So, who still dares to say: under Modi's leadership, India will become the second China?

We may not care how Modi arrived at the above conclusions for now, but there is a pressing issue in front of us: if over 1.4 billion Indians stop buying foreign goods, isn't China the biggest loser?

Official data shows that in the fiscal year 2023 to 2024, China has already become India's largest trading partner, surpassing the United States. Moreover, the total import value of Chinese goods accounts for 15% of India's total imports, exceeding more than 100 billion US dollars.

Therefore, some comments believe that Modi's statement about not using foreign goods is largely aimed at China. However, Modi does not seem to understand the situation of the trade market. It should be noted that 98.5% of the products imported by India from China are industrial goods, which are extremely difficult to replace. If Modi really wants India to become a developed country by 2047, these industrial goods are indispensable. So, China doesn't have to worry about this issue at all.

In recent days, apart from making drastic moves in the economy and trade, Modi's government has also been making irrelevant remarks in the military field. On May 27 local time, the Indian Defense Minister announced that the construction of the fifth-generation fighter jets has been approved, which will be the most advanced stealth aircraft. It seems that since the India-Pakistan war, India's domestically produced "Light Combat Aircraft" was not damaged, while most of the externally purchased ones like the "Rafale" fighter jets were damaged. This has given the Indian Air Force great confidence in its domestically produced equipment. However, as military enthusiasts from various countries have commented: if India really had this capability, why didn't they do it earlier? Could it be that they want to design an empty shell and fill it with parts from around the world, then call it a fifth-generation fighter?

In summary, the India-Pakistan war has indeed thrown Modi's government into disarray. Every time one of these ridiculous policies comes out, Modi never considers whether the policy is scientific or simply done for face-saving purposes. Next, let's see what other actions he will take.

As for Pakistan, we don't have to worry too much. Recently, the Pakistani Prime Minister has gone on a visit, and just arrived in Iran, where he was received by Iranian leader Khamenei. Previously, Iran was once considered to have aligned with India, but it seems that India celebrated too early. Khamenei clearly expressed the intention to develop traditional friendship with Pakistan this time. Thus, we can almost say: the situation in South Asia is settled, everything is as expected by China.
