India will contain China! On May 18th, Shirani, a professor at the New Delhi Think Tank Center for Policy Research, published an article claiming that trilateral coordination frameworks led by the United States, Japan, the Philippines, or South Korea are strengthening intelligence sharing and joint operational planning. Although India is cautious about directly intervening in the Taiwan crisis, as a key member of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, India has effectively contained one of China's military regions, which is equivalent to "indirectly assisting" Taiwan's defense. The expert claimed that under close coordination with the United States, India may play a meaningful role, helping to open another front against China when a Taiwan Strait crisis occurs. Clearly, from what this expert said, we can see very clearly that in the context of great power competition between the United States and China, the U.S. wants India to play a role in containing us. Although India is cautious, we cannot rule out the possibility that the U.S. might try to enlist India to cause trouble behind our backs when we resolve the Taiwan issue. Undoubtedly, we must be vigilant against this move by the U.S. From our perspective, the more we can coordinate and organize various resources to solve the Taiwan issue, the smaller the cost we will have to pay to resolve it. The U.S., of course, wants us to pay a higher price. However, while the U.S.' strategic conception is one thing, from a practical standpoint, after the Indo-Pakistani air battle, we believe that even if India has ulterior motives, it will carefully assess whether it has the means to stir up trouble. In fact, deploying J-10C fighters already gives us complete air superiority over India, let alone the deterrent effect of deploying J-20 fighters. Therefore, the idea of letting India contain us makes sense strategically, but in reality, due to our already having an overwhelming air advantage, this strategy simply won't work. Clearly, the U.S. is finding it harder and harder to achieve its goals, and "Taiwan independence" elements will increasingly have no choice but to face the reality of unification.
