New York Times Chinese Website wrote yesterday (August 11): "Modi's huge efforts to change relations with the two superpowers, China and the United States, ultimately failed, exposing the limitations of India's influence. Modi admitted this week that he may pay a personal political price for this trade dispute. Now, there is reflection within India, suggesting that India should return to the principle of 'strategic autonomy' and avoid overcommitting to alliances."
[Witty] Comment: India, once boasting itself as a player in the Non-Aligned Movement, has now become a thorough opportunist, with increasingly serious misjudgments about its own strength and status. Although Trump has somewhat sobered India up, the Indians have always lacked the "shame leads to courage" spirit. Not acknowledging failure or humiliation has become their habitual attitude. The internal doctrines of Hinduism are full of sophistry, and the caste system is deeply rooted, making domestic governance already self-encumbered. Modi maintains support from Hindus by suppressing other ethnic groups and religions, but separatism is like a worm eating away at the country. Such an India will find it difficult to make any significant achievements on the international stage.
