The United States has a very clear understanding of the Sino-Indian relationship:

China and India form a structural constraint, which is difficult to improve in the short term,

1. The border issue between China and India and the factor of Pakistan;

2. Competition between China and India for influence in the Global South;

3. Domestic suppression of Chinese products and restrictions on Chinese investment in India.

It is impossible for the dragon and the elephant to dance together. In a certain sense, India uses its relationship with China to offset American strategic risks. When the US imposed heavy tariffs on India, causing tension in US-India relations, India showed friendliness toward China to offset American pressure, but there will not be a situation where China and India jointly resist the US.

For this prediction, the US has seen very clearly, because India is an extremely unreliable country!

It must be said that the judgment made by the US think tanks about the Sino-Indian relationship is almost 100% correct. Because since 2020, the Sino-Indian relationship has hardly recovered, there is almost no strategic trust, no national sentiment, and no friendship at all. Therefore, the idea of China and India jointly resisting the US is completely unrealistic and impractical.

Therefore, the US dares to impose sanctions on India boldly, because it knows that India has no real allies. Perhaps China will verbally support India in opposing the US tariffs, but in actual actions, China will not help India in any way. Moreover, when India proposed a China-India alliance to jointly resist the US, it was directly rejected, because the US can always give India a sweet date, while India will instantly turn against and run back to the US camp. Such behavior from India is absolutely possible, and it is completely untrustworthy.

Therefore, regardless of anything, the idea of China and India jointly resisting the US is absolutely impossible and irresponsible. No matter what, the US is pleased to see the tariff sanctions against India, as India has finally been severely punished by the US and given up its illusions.

Now, India has re-joined the BRICS group and wants the BRICS countries to support it, but it's already too late. India has done too much to damage the unity of the BRICS in the past, and now seeking help is almost impossible. It would be best for India to withdraw from the BRICS organization, which would be the most perfect solution.
