issue of the role of America's friends and allies small discreet power dealmaking is going on increasingly the smaller nations have to act on the assumption that the United States is with them against them both or neither in other words they have to set their own course one place the US has been able to sustain the traditional U. S. coalition for now is East Asia a tiller9/44
semanas team has kept you S. allies South Korea and Japan on board for whatever is cooking for North Korea South Asia is another story India which of course is not a treaty ally seems to be on its own under truck as the U.

Obama administration which believed unrealistically admired you got a partnership with India would solve America's Afghanistan problem Pakistan problem it's China problem and it's Asia problem all at once what we have now is an interesting situation where America pierced stepped back so the world can get a preview of how the battle for Asian supremacy will be fought between India and China in the twenty first century angel11/44

least water poured which is on the Indian Ocean at the southern terminus of the CPC for forty three years it's leased for civilian operation and it looks like the Chinese navy doesn't need to call their now since it already uses an existing Pakistan navy port a few hours down the coast or Mara but forty three years from now who does in the short term expect water16/44
to have some kind of Chinese military presence at least Chinese marines to protect the installation maybe as many as ten thousand Pakistan also hopes to use a CPC Tiger Woods holdover X. unhappy southern provinces a lot just by altering its demographics in economics to decrease the intensity of the local rebellion and also reduce opportunities for it you missed finally the CPC enters Pakistan crew Gilgit Baltistan17/44

R. F. the belt and road forum for international cooperation everybody's invited including India it looks18/44

of India it is true that many of the Chinese investment agreements with the eye popping numbers in the billions appear to be preemptive mainly meant to lock in the other side occupy what's called the commanding heights in the country's economy so others can't claim if and when it comes down to actually doing the project there's some hard unpleasant bargaining in China's favor with the danger of24/44
debt peonage projects don't here now in the host country is crushed by unserviceable moans and some projects haven't panned out already like the homebound toto port in Sri Lanka resulting in embarrassing re negotiations to convert one billion dollars SriLankan debt in two one billion dollars of Chinese equity the flagship Gwadar port of the C. P. E. C. has the potential to become another white elephant unless25/44
China makes a major political and financial commitment to transform it into a viable economic center however China appears to be evolving beyond the simple smash and grab mindset characterized early forays into Africa and Asia in particular the PRC's ability to keep itself getting checked out herba which it ruthlessly exploited with the hunter before democratic reforms in the opening to the U. S. shows a certain death26/44
this in navigating the choppy social and political waters of a not too friendly state as well as China skills in manipulating and exploiting the various ethnic arms up like %HESITATION muse China border and India has set the bar pretty low when it comes to good behavior I an overbearing regional power India's regional hijinks overtime include invading Bangladesh and the east Pakistan to facilitate its independence from27/44
west Pakistan annexing seeking how mending and bungling a disastrous civil war in Sri Lanka claimed one hundred thousand watts and messing with the internal politics of Nepal again and again and again lest you think this is all ancient history in twenty fifteen India imposed under clear blockade of fuel oil to they call for four months inflicting major economic and humanitarian suffering on the Paul as it28/44
was struggling to dig out from a catastrophic earthquake just so India get its way in the dispute over the constitutional rights of the ethnic Indian minority in Nepal unsurprisingly may Paul was driven into the arms of China embarrassingly India also failed to secure Bangladesh as an ally for its anti China line Bangladesh's crow Indian government rebuffed India's proposal for a twenty five year mutual defense treaty29/44
and instead opted for a lesser memorandum of understanding on defense matters Bangladesh's attitude presumably have a lot to do with the fact that he twenty sixteen China signed agreements with twenty four billion dollars in investments Bob with the ashes so Bangladesh turned around and parlayed India's fear of China's influence into a five hundred million dollar credit just reciting the unsatisfactory to India memorandum of understanding clearly30/44
straddling the fence between India and China has become a profitable way of life south Asian nations and that's where most of them have ended up if the government swings too much toward one country trouble often follows currently the brightest spot for India is of all places the mount dives Mel dives are the smallest member of the south Asian family of nations but even so they are31/44
the target of intense and expensive competition between China and India I don't expect viewers to know exactly where the mailbox are unless they're planning a very expensive honeymoon but they are handsome collection of apples south Sri Lanka the male dies are considered to be a strategic asset because they're out in the Indian Ocean Charlotte target of the mound dives within airport expansion and the promise of32/44
the big bridge in addition Saudi Arabia had agreed to back China's now lives play and help solidify its position as charges preferred Middle East energy provider over arch enemy Iran by offering to spend billions to develop one of the Maldives assholes tourist destination keying off China's OB or concept however the pro Chinese president president yeah I mean is apparently so corrupt he's unable to keep a33/44
lid on political opposition even when Saudi Arabia was promising to pop ten billion dollars into a country of only four hundred thousand people Saudi Arabia's king Solomon his yacht fifteen hundred person entourage and five hundred tons of luggage were expected in the Maldives this month as part of Solomon's Asian tour seal the deal buddy cancel a last minute was an outbreak of bird flu responsible as34/44
officials explained or what king Solomon responding to it from India another important Saudi customer but presently I mean is going down the India back opposition is poised to take power any deals need by the China backed administration are going to evaporate overall I'd say China has the upper hand in South Asia for now thanks to superior economic power progressive execution clumsy overreach by Moti era somewhere35/44
down the list in the system the trump administration but India is still the big dog South Asia and China has yet to prove its geostrategic plays down there will generate the economic returns to justify the expense and pay our interest and principal on those billions of dollars of loans mode is going to be around for awhile and India will continually probe exploit weaknesses in China's OB36/44
owe our strategy and trump or his successor will find plenty of reasons to gang up with India and against China once more when America's immediate problems have been resolved so it's game on in Asia game between India and China I will cost trillions go on for decades and hopefully not culminate in a pan Asian war finally Harris has been rocked by the killing of the Chinese37/44
New Year bridge police on March twenty seven police went to the apartment of Leo shower y'all on a domestic disturbance call Leo who had lived in France for twenty years but was still a Chinese citizen was working on dinner with a pair of scissors in his hand when the police broke down the door and shot him to death in front of his family according to his38/44
family according to the police no charge in with the scissors and self righteous this triggered several nights of demonstrations spontaneous and organize protesting the culture of police disrespect and ill treatment of French Chinese they were also marked by some violent clashes the violence apparently was not instigated by Atticus radicals or what not but by relatively militant young French Chinese it looks like the French police overreacted39/44
arresting more than three dozen people beating and injuring several demonstrators who were involved in the violence the French security service then put a token are preparing E. secret report which was promptly leaked to the press a Chinese government agents and the Chinese mafia infiltrated the demonstrations to manipulate them for their various nefarious purposes the young French Chinese indignantly replied that the accusation that they were puppets40/44
of dark forces and insisted we only wanted their full rights as French citizens it seems likely that the Chinese embassy did send people to monitor the demonstrations but it does not seem plausible they would take the risk of playing active role the Chinese mafia angle according to the reporting of journalist one way referred to one shall only grow in other words fatties how the Chinese food41/44
who takes the role of champion the French Chinese used by the police and admit what leos family and publicize the killing and subsequent demonstrations on his we chat P. R. C. domestic media covered the demonstrations which culminated with a memorial service on April second attended by six thousand people I expect the P. R. C. was happy to point out that the west is not a pure42/44
