Donald Trump went to China with Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, the most powerful people in the world.And you know what happened?Xi Jinping did not even receive Donald Trump at the airport.And on top of it, Xi Jinping issued a warning to America saying don't fall for the Thucydides Trap.Thucydides Trap is a tendency which says that whenever an emerging power starts challenging a big power, there is war in this world.And this is statistically and historically proven.
In the past 500 years, 12 out of 16 times, whenever this has happened, there has been war.And China is warning America very clearly to not fall for that trap.Whether there is war between them or not.The fact of the matter is these are the big boys.The world is not divided between them.Duniya mein ek duopoly hai.
The world is not multipolar.The world is bipolar.These people call the shots.China has the largest foreign exchange reserves in the world.America has the largest military in the world.China has the largest share in global trade in the world.
America has some of the best intellectual property and technology in the world.The technology that runs the world is owned by these people.China has the minerals.China has the semiconductors.China has a monopoly over a lot of things.America has intellectual power and it has tech companies that have captured the profits of the world.
The fact of the matter in both cases is that India is not in the room and nowhere even close to this level.In fact, case in point, And if you have been following the news, you will realize There G2 meets are going on and here BRICS is going on.In BRICS, the sea itself is China.
So BRICS is a platform which is dominated also by China.Take another example, Pakistan.China is with Pakistan, strategic alliance with Pakistan, will help Pakistan, will continue to do so.US need Pakistan to mediate, doesn't mind it mediating.India is nowhere in the picture also.India was supposed to be the counterweight.
In US strategy, India was supposed to counterbalance China's growth.But now they are doing G2 meets and trading chips.And the technology transfer is also scary.The fact of the matter is that India has a very, very long way to go and a very difficult path ahead.
These two players need each other and none of them need India.And to navigate that very sensitive diplomatic path will be very challenging for India.
