    I am from India. BJP’s position is a literal dead cat strategy, considering how he never spoke on the Galwan Valley territory issue and instead said through ANI briefing said that all is okay. He is a paper tiger, and in response to that incident, he banned 59 Chinese apps/e-commerce stores from India, which is pathetic if being nice about it. The whole world comfortably uses Tiktok, AliExpress, Taobao et al except for India.

    His anti-China “stance” holds as much weight as Trump’s did in USA, when his own clothing lines were all manufactured in China. BJP is beyond just anti-democratic, they love majoritarian Hindutva extremism.

    The border conflicts have a history that cannot just be reduced to “China encroachment”. It goes all the way back to territory lines drawn by Britishers for India, Nepal and China.
