Yes, China has a masterplan to choke our infrastructure by banning Tunnel Boring Machines.
But India isn't sitting idle.
From local manufacturing cushions to a massive Atmanirbhar push, here is how we are flipping the script on their geopolitical blackmail.
India is racing to build tunnels near its border with China. Some of the machines that dig India’s tunnels come out of Chinese factories.
From 18 November, Beijing can legally refuse to let them leave. 🧵
China banned the export of Tunnel Boring Machines to halt India's border infra.
Instead of bending to geopolitical blackmail, India is turning into a global TBM manufacturing hub.
Here is how China's masterplan backfired.

Why is a single cargo ship in Chennai making geopolitical waves?
India is finally moving in on the $12 billion global ship repair market.
With giants like Maersk and the US Navy now trusting Indian shipyards, the game is shifting.
We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
Starlink suddenly dumping Ukraine. Leaving it unable to respond to Russian strikes at a critical time. This is the best example of unreliability of @elonmusk Starlink. It will never be under Indian but @POTUS control. It must never be permitted into India. @PMOIndia
Elon passes the buck to Trump admin on Starshield and indirectly confirms Starlink denial to Ukraine. It follows Elon tweeting against Ukraine targeting Russian energy.
Precisely why India is cautious about Starlink.
Elon Musk just admitted something most people still refuse to believe.
Starlink’s military version is not under his control.
Washington and the US military decide when it works and when it doesn’t.
Ukraine’s drones went dark yesterday because someone in America flipped a switch.
Elon’s reply was simple: “Not my call.”
Same company. Same satellites. Same risk.
India was right to keep Starlink out.
Fast internet is not worth giving a foreign government the ability to shut down our borders, drones, and communication with one order.
If they ever want to enter India, the control has to stay here. Not in Washington. 🇮🇳
