You are denying the trade war, banning of equipment from Chinese firms like Huawei, trying to halt their 5g development, blaming them for hacking and espionage isn't taking place? Given a choice the west will blindly chose India over China, sadly it's our fault that we are not putting in enough effort to really convince west to switch

All this is political hot air and as the Chinese call it "paper-tiger"ing.
Or posturing, for want of a better word, designed to extract more favorable concessions from China.
Politics is politics and reality is reality.
Manlam - China is a rogue fiend trying to bring down the West.
But how will India even be an alternative to China - attractive to the West?? What does India have compared to China?? Except maybe some back-office jobs.
Hashailen Dada.
Like I said, visit Shenzhen sometime - you will get the idea.
Indians completely lack Chinese discipline, zeal and plain old "businessperson mentality". The West did not develop China, Chinese themselves did, by their own industrialization. All the West did was buy China products at fire-sale prices and consume, helping more Chinese industrialization. Too late for the West to turn back the clock now.
And like we say in Bangladesh sometimes, "Koi Agartala, ar koi Choukir tala?"
@Beast and
@rott brothers would you agree that India can be a serious competitor to China, anytime soon?
