Except we actually don't care what foreigners think, as proven by our island building in the SCS. We are not India who only cares what foreigners think.
If China shouldn't make an enemy out of India because India is the 10th largest economy in the world, why should India make an enemy out of China which is the 2nd largest economy in the world?
Remember it was India who started the Forward Policy against China when we were in the middle of the worst famine in our history. Who forced you to do that?
Who forced you to oppose China in basically every part of the world, even in the SCS? You chose this path, now you want us to give you an NSG and UNSC seat, are you serious?
