India in recent international events
Together with China and Japan, India is one of the three leading Asian powers, whose mutual relations will increasingly determine the situation in the Asia-Pacific region as a whole. In turn, this latter is today in the focus of the current stage of the Great World Game. And if we can speak more or less definitely about the positioning of the first two countries at the table on which the global action is unfolding today, then India’s position at this table still looks “transitional”. What are the initial and the end points of this “transition” and how far has it progressed? It is quite easy to answer the first part of this question…
G7 countries in search of an alternative to China’s One Belt, One Road megaproject
As a result of the latest summit of the G7 countries in Hiroshima, the US, Canada, the UK and the EU adopted yet another, 11th to be precise, package of anti-Russian sanctions. The package includes more than 90 companies from all over the world, which, according to Brussels, allegedly violated the restrictive measures and continue supplying Russia with sanctioned goods (including companies in Armenia, Iran, UAE, Syria and others). At the same time, eight out…
The PRC-Japan rivalry extends to Europe
Together with India, China and Japan form today the strategic triangle on which the political and economic situation in Asia will increasingly depend. The latter however is the continent where the focus of the current stage of the “Great Game” is shifting more and more definitely. Leaving the territory of another continent, which for centuries, if not millennia, was Europe. Though the terms “shifting” and “leaving” do not refer to a fait accompli, but to a process. If we add to the latter term the definition of “transitional,” we get a phrase that more or less adequately describes…
Who Benefits from the Escalation of India-China Controversy?
The main objective of American trade and economic policy towards India is to make New Delhi the primary instrument of the PRC’s containment. Even though the United States is currently India’s greatest commercial and economic partner, there are some blemishes in the relationship. Many issues addressing the relative closeness of the Indian economy were highlighted by the administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and they are also on Biden’s agenda. In terms of trade and investment, India has its own complaints against the United States…
Concerning the meeting in New Delhi between the defense ministers of India and China
On April 27 in New Delhi, on the margins of an SCO event, the defense ministers of India and China held talks, the very fact of which could not fail to draw attention. Because it showed that the leadership of the two largest states in the world keeps under control a complex and contradictory set of bilateral relations. In turn, this latter brings at least some positive to the picture of global insanity, which increasingly reflects the situation in the world as a whole. The formation of this picture is not least facilitated…
Unrest in South Asia
Yet another narrative on the situation in one of the key regions, where the current stage of the “Great World Game” is taking place in its most intense form, will start with (yet another) statement of the conventionality of the terminology used. By the way, let us note that varying degrees of conventionality are characteristic of almost all words that are present in descriptions of any aspect of human activity. In each case such terminology requires at least some explanation. What is “South Asia” and what does “unrest” mean? Let’s assume that the former is made up mostly of India and Pakistan. That is, the two de facto nuclear powers, whose relations…
The West’s Denial Strategy and the Surfacing Multipolar World
In the news in the western hemisphere today, the truth is like the Holy Grail. And like the cup of Christ, it too may be lost forever. Take any information about Russia or China, for instance. Reality is now shifted not only in the halls of power in Washington, London, and Brussels, but in journalism, academia, the nonprofit sector, business…
Indian activists support Khalistan's independence
Reiterating that the Central and South Asian region as a whole has enormous potential for overall development that will benefit all of its members as well as its neighbors, such as Russia and China, let us note that this was the reason behind the North-South Transport Corridor project’s inception two or three decades ago. It has persisted as an intriguing concept…
