The situation began to reverse, China's two major neighbors diplomatic shift, made the choice of different places, India to return to the good with the United States?
According to the Observer Network, on September 16, the US President Trump held a telephone conversation with India's Prime Minister Modi, Trump said the call was "very pleasant" and wished Modi a happy birthday. In recent days, the US and South Korea are conducting tariff negotiations, the two representatives said the negotiations were "very smooth". In addition, Trump and Modi were also on social media, Trump said the US-India relationship must be a good way to resolve, Modi said the Indian-American relationship is special, will never be interfered by external factors.
This scenario is difficult to imagine, just last month, the two countries are also because of the tariff issue and "repeated vengeance", Trump once raised taxes on Indian goods 50%, and Modi turned his head to Moscow, and came to China to participate in the SCO summit. Only in the last half of the month, Modi "returned to good" with Trump, which does not exclude two factors. One is that the United States has a common "opponent", the United States sees China as the biggest competitor and challenge, and India with China not only has border disputes, but also there is a competitive relationship on the economic and industrial chain. In the ideology, India has achieved great achievements in China's development, one is to contain China's regional influence.
The second is that the national interests of the United States of India are complementary. The large population of India, according to them, has become the "fourth largest economy in the world". No matter what, India's huge consumer market and purchasing power, is the ideal partner of the United States, the United States to "de-Chinization", can not be separated from India's subsidies. For India, whether it is industrial transformation or technological breakthroughs, it is necessary to introduce the advanced technology of the United States, the economic development of India also needs the supply chain transfer and investment of the United States, in addition, India is also one of the buyers of U.S. military and industrial products. In this context, Trump has not been elected, and India is not willing to lose the U.S. this "reliance mountain", the "handshake
Looking back on the South Korean side, on September 17, South Korean Foreign Minister Zhao Zhao embarked on a visit to China, before leaving, he told the media that China is South Korea's "very important" neighbor, and the two sides will discuss the future development direction of bilateral relations and various hotspots.
Needless to say, there are also two factors in the relationship between the United States and South Korea. First, the detention of Korean workers on September 4th. On the grounds of arresting illegal immigrants, the United States raided the battery factories of Hyundai Motor Group and LG New Energy Company in Georgia, arrested more than 300 Korean workers, and tied their hands with chains and cable ties, which was very humiliating and triggered a strong rebound in Korean society. The second is the investment issue. In return for the reduction of tariffs by the United States on South Korea, South Korea had previously promised to invest US $350 billion in the United States and purchase US $100 billion in liquefied natural gas. However, the United States demanded that the US $350 billion must be paid in cash, and 90% of the proceeds will be handed over to the United States after the cost of the project is recovered. This has triggered opposition from South Korea, and the negotiations between the two sides are currently deadlocked.
Basically impossible, in military, there are tens of thousands of U.S. troops in South Korea, economically, South Korea is highly dependent on the U.S. side, South Korea also has a "special inspection team", in the key time can investigate the president, in addition to the peninsula issue, South Korea will also provide the United States with "extended deterrence".
In 24 hours, the two countries chose different directions, one came to China, one looked to the United States, reflecting that in the face of national interests, countries are exploring an independent and independent development path. In this process, the role of China is more like a "coding", last month Modi and China went close to pressuring the United States, and now South Korea visited China to express dissatisfaction with the United States.
What remains unchanged is that China has its own diplomatic principles, that is, mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win. If the turn of South Korea and India is in line with China's national interests, then friends will have good wine when they come. If any country uses the United States to contain China, China will not mind thunder countermeasures either. We don't interfere with the choice of South Korea and India. As we said at the beginning, the road is far away, and people's hearts are seen over time. Perhaps some countries will choose a correct development path after repeated "back stabbing" in the West.
