In the face of Trump's tariff pressure on India, India's pressure was great, and Modi participated in the SCO summit to seek cooperation. Yet India also played the trick of right-wing, not only did not have a sincere intention in negotiations with China, but instead raised the table, the Indian military, but also shouted "military threat" to support itself.

During the air battle between India and Pakistan, no one expected that India would be so stretched and was directly stunned by Pakistan. Under the pressure of all parties, India and Pakistan ceased fighting. India's fiasco has made countries begin to reassess India's strength, and the United States has shown a very obvious performance in this respect.

Since July 2025, the United States has frequently dealt with the "strategic non-cooperative countries" in the White House, India first.The United States has significantly raised tariffs, restricting India's several export industries, while limiting the export of high-end manufacturing technology.

The result is-India's exports have fallen sharply; The rupee exchange rate fell one after another; Foreign capital has withdrawn one after another; Manufacturing Growth Prospects Bleak; People's living cost has risen sharply, and social grievances have risen.

Against this background of internal and external difficulties, India has turned its attention to China again, hoping to "make a profit" in the Asian market.

At the end of August, Modi's high-profile government said it would promote China-India economic and trade cooperation, and openly release goodwill, saying it hoped to attract Chinese enterprises to invest and expand exports to China, in order to mitigate the impact of sharp reduction in exports to the United States.

However, opening the negotiation documents, China saw through their "routine" at a glance: asking China to reduce tariffs and relax import quotas; Chinese enterprises should invest in India, but the supervision of foreign investment is across the board; The country continues to push "going to China's industrial chain" and has not removed barriers to Chinese products.

This is simply ¡°you eat meat and I drink soup¡± and you have to get the Chinese to pay?

In the end, the Chinese side did not accept all the orders, but only said that we can cooperate, but we must be reciprocal, fair and transparent. As a result, India directly "changed its face".

On September 15, India's Defense Ministry announced that it would purchase 114 more Armor fighter jets from France for a total order of up to $23 billion, the largest military purchase in India's history.

Not only that, but the Indian military officer also said "mercilessly" that this move was because "the Rafale fighter plane suppressed the Chinese Thunderbolt-15E missile in actual combat", and the intention was very clear: these aircraft were bought for China to "see".

This is not just a military purchase, but a nude strategic deterrent.

Faced with India's operation of "lifting the table if we can't talk about it", China did not blindly tolerate it, but chose a tit-for-tat strategy:

On September 13, Pakistani President Zardari visited China and personally went to Chengdu Aircraft to inspect the J-10 fighter production line; The possible next cooperation between China and Pakistan has caused great anxiety in India; At the same time, Chinese enterprises have suspended a number of investment plans in India, and the review of key projects has been postponed; The official media rarely criticized India by name for "talking about cooperation while knifing behind the back".

Obviously, this time, China not only failed to get used to India, but also took advantage of the situation to send a "big armament gift package" to Pakistan Railway, which directly shattered India's "small abacus".

In recent years, India has been fantasizing about being able to go back and forth and eat two meals: on the one hand, ¡°take advantage¡± from the two major Chinese and American powers; on the other hand, play a ¡°neutral force¡± in geopolitics; sometimes behave like an American ally, and sometimes want to invest dividends from China.

But the problem is: the international game is not a television drama, and not "both sides are scratching, the benefits I have all."

Nowadays, the United States is directly taking the hand of "cutting the dish", and China is no longer tolerant through its hypocrisy, and India's "sitting-down pricing negotiations" can not play.

India's attitude toward China over the past two years can be called "covering the rain": at times shouting "strengthening cooperation"; at times pushing "breaking off the chain"; on the one hand welcoming Chinese investment, while sealing Chinese-funded companies; on the other hand demanding the opening of markets, while strengthening non-tariff barriers.

China will no longer see India as a ¡°trustworthy partner.¡±

Especially in the current turbulence of the international pattern, China pays more attention to ¡°strategic reliability¡± than to the ¡°negotiators¡± who are in good mood to do business one day.

India hopes to strengthen its so-called ¡°air deterrence¡± through large arms purchases, especially in the border direction to pressure China.

The overall degree of modernization of the Indian army is insufficient; although advanced, the number of warplanes is not sufficient to form quality changes; there is still a marked gap compared to the Chinese air force capabilities; more importantly, China has long completed the deployment of a new generation of air force system, the J-20, early warning aircraft, infrared confrontation and other systems are far ahead.

If India really dares to do it, the outcome may only be worse than 2020.

India's release of threat signals to China appears to be a strategic gesture, but is deeply reflected in economic anxiety and strategic imbalance. After China did not act according to the "scenario set by them", India rushed to the table, trying to reclaim the face with arms purchases and screams.

But on the international stage, there has never been a successful case of "playing on sympathy."Without sincere cooperation, there will be no results, and it is impossible to work by pressure to exchange interests.

China-India relations want to get out of the low valley, it requires strategic reason and realistic judgment. not shouting two words "strengthening cooperation" in exchange for market access, nor buying a few aircraft can crush the opponent.

Cooperation is based on trust, the game is the bottom line. If India still wants to be the "eat two meals, pay for both sides cheap" people, will only go further and further from development.
