Why is India acting so obediently now, and even almost unilaterally apologizing to China? I think India is on the verge of a complete break with the West. Why do I say that? First, India wants to develop manufacturing, but the West cannot provide support in this area. Moreover, the more India develops manufacturing, the more it depends on China's supply chain.
Originally, Indians wanted to occupy a place by relying on software outsourcing and avoid competing with Chinese manufacturing. To put it metaphorically, if China is the "world's factory," then India wants to be the "world's office." But now, these "office" positions are being replaced by AI first. Even if India's software outsourcing costs are lower, it can't compete with artificial intelligence.
Therefore, India's break with the West is just a matter of time. India clearly realizes the crisis and must "jump ship" or "change ships," otherwise its situation will be very bad.
