@Chellaney Chinese fantasies of a "South Tibet" seem unattainable, yet a hazardous play with words.

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

China is aggressively engaged in mapping the Indian Ocean bed and collecting seismic and bathymetric data to facilitate submarine operations in India’s maritime backyard. And the Maldives, under its new Islamist-leaning, pro-China president, is becoming an enabler.

After terminating the 2019 hydrographic surveying agreement with India and ordering the expulsion of several dozen non-combat Indian military personnel tasked with rescue and relief in that disaster-prone archipelago nation, Maldivian President Muizzu has agreed to host a Chinese spy ship whose mission is to collate data on undersea conditions.

The Muizzu government claim that the PLA-linked ship would not conduct oceanographic research in the Maldivian waters is laughable as the Maldives has zero capability to detect such activity.

Muizzu's latest provocation, by mocking the security concerns of the traditionally friendly India, is unlikely to escape scot-free.

Powerful testimony on both U.S. and Russia. Perhaps Putin spared Orban's land when he marches on from Ukraine.

As a realist, I recognize that sometimes there are tradeoffs between legitimate security interests and moral considerations. That said, I am finding it hard to understand how any senior U.S. foreign policy officials can look at themselves in the mirror today.

@Chellaney @KanwalSibal "The common sense question would be why India at any official level would undertake such actions on American soil, knowing its political impact on India-US ties, which are becoming increasingly stronger in various domains." The right Q indeed. So, the one(s) responsible is..?

Where it began?

Nixon responded that “we’ve got to destroy the confidence of the people in the American establishment.”

“That’s right,” Kissinger answered.

Then again, leaders of muslim countries voice no criticism, seeking investments from China, a friend of oppressed ppl everywhere. Double standards all too obvious.

李克强总理去世，大家都很震惊。按说李克强身边不会没有医生，上海医疗技术力量又非常强。国内有不少怀疑性议论。中国老话“盖棺定论”，如何评价李克强？海内外评论不一。这几张李克强工作照片是国内微信中流传出来的。
