Tell shekhar gupta that India is not concerned he is the one who is concerned. China and Solomon islands are removing american imperialism dominance. asian countries must work together

Australia AUKUS pact never consulted the Solomons and done secretly, why Solomons should tell Australia about their Chinese pact...
Papua New Guinea and Indonesia are only few hundred kms away from Solomon Islands have raised no security concern. Japan and Australia sitting at more than 2000 to 4000 kms away have. May be it's just a coincidence that both are major vassal states of the US Regime.
Japan and Australia are vassal states of the US, , Period.
Slaves of US dollar
Sri Lanka's foreign debt is $51 billion. 10% owed to China, 10% owed to Japan, 9% owed to IMF, 47% owed to global market financial institutions. So why only China is a debt trap? Not Japan, IMF, Global banks? I always thought that Indians are good at math.
Hindu minds excel in a branch of mathematics known as statistics which is nothing but large scale bean counting. However, there is no logic in Hindu mind.
@paper plane Pls note that IMF has the power to dictate the government to remove certain regulations and change of government policies whereas China, Japan or other commercial debtors can't.
If usa can have military bases all around the world then why not Chinese.
Exactly
USA wants to enslave Asia (excluding Israel which is its master) similarly it's doing to Europe
People in Okinawa have been protesting US military presence for decades. The Americans won't leave.
It's a kind of refreshing change to see US & allies are being put on a reactive defensive stance ... 😀😀😀!!!
It's unbelievable that a small incident could startle the world's superpower (that have maintained tens of military sites around China's border) to have sleepless nights and deem appropriate to threaten military invasion against this small faraway Solomon Island .... 😀😀😀!!!
The Chinese are doing so much in the world and we Indians are fighting amongst ourselves over issues which should be non issues but are made into big issues!
Very well said.
That why bring UCC, Remove discrimatory articles like 29, 30 and many more and be done with it.
Well said, but it is typical of most public intelligentsia in India to stir up a storm in a tea cup.. as long as it relates to anything about China..
India has every right to show its concerns over neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh. But commenting on Solomon Islands' security requirement for Australia and the US, it's a too far-reaching as well.
Wow. Maybe you're not aware but indian media are not govt mouthpiece. This is an Indian media reporting an incident. Don't think indian govt have made any comment on this issue
This is not state control media like Global times & hu xijin that gives their typical concern & threat . Come out narrow-mindedness lol
You left out an important factor while getting one backward.
What you had backward: Shipping lanes. They are of little or no concern to the US, as the US has a vast nuclear navy but are not a major exporter via shipping. Shipping lanes are paramount to China, especially for energy imports, but of course for the massive exports that make it a world power. So there is no reason China would close shipping lanes. Conversely the US would love to CONTROL shipping lanes, as this would be tantamount to having China's arm twisted behind it's back. China would logically defend free trade all costs for it's own gain, in line with it's respect of sovereignty world wide. Recent history tells us the US would use shipping closure as a military weapon or sanction.
What you left out: Nuclear submarines. The US deep state has a neurotic interest in the travel lanes of it's nuclear subs around the world, and the Solomons are in those lanes. Preventing the stationing of potentially unfriendly naval assets in East Timor is considered to be a reason the US gave the nod to the Suharto regime's unprovoked genocide in East Timor in the late 1970s to 1999.
The US: “Ukraine is a sovereign country. It is its right to join NATO if it wants to.” The US: “Solomon Island signing a comprehensive security pact with China is a red line. We wont rule out military action if China establishes a military base in the island.”
"Disciplinary action has multiple rewards "- it needs discipline and good political system and education system to develop a country. India being American satellite state never become a next China.

Fully agree with you. Double standards of the West. They will justify anything they do in the name of democracy

R U a Chinese masquerading in an Indian name ??
Quite a logical comparison
@@amritamrit233 you are cooked. China is corruption.
He did a good job Solomon islands PM.
Maybe cause the Australian police refused to protect Chinese assets? FACTS ARE IMPORTANT.
Violence was instigated and supported by foreign forces. Can you guess who?
only 10% Sri Lanka loans is China. Japan also 10%
Shekhar didn't do enough homework, _merely hearing one side and pass judgements._ Sri Lanka owes so much to the IMF and World Bank before China came into the picture.Pakistan,on the hand, is heavily in debt to SA
@@irwan3064 agenda is to support anglos and be anti-china, because china threatens anglo hegemony.
NATO is an open organisation and any country including Ukraine can join it if they so choose. But Solomon Islands joinning with China is a problem to the west?
HYPOCRISY.
Talking about how China oprates financially in Maldives is talking about How America operates financially all across the globe (but worse)
Indians in overseas are doing so well. The good and wise in India is fleeing in droves to overseas. Instead of copying UK n US foreign policies, India can achieve so much if they focus in developing their ppl n country. India gain nothing from making an enemy of her neighbour. History has proven that.
India is part of BRICS, and they are buying Russian oil and may settle disputes with China, so there's till hope.
So how do you think the Chinese feel about Taiwan? How does Russia feel about Ukraine? People don't know till it bites them.
exactly
Australia such a huge big country afraid of Solomon Islands, what a joke. China's security pact here is of NOTHING CONCERN of Australia. Its jiust Aussie wants to PROJECT ITS Power . . .
What about Australia? They signed a security agreement with Solomon Islands too. No threat from Australia?
Australians will protect its own interests at the expense of the Solomon Islands. It was a bad deal for the natives. The current government prefers win-win aggrements.
I am wondering why he didn't mention that this islans had some disturbabces. What kind of disturbances? Who was behind those disturbance and why?
Who were those people who attacked the big island? Did they had weapons, if they had who supplyed those weapons?
How many bases does America have all around the world 800?
It's the fact Australia has a deal with them and we send them aid with nothing in return as it's our job. China does not. They will see it all as business and when Solomon islands can't pay the bill China will take the over as will happen in Papua new Guinea. China is trying to do a huge global land grab. The USA doesn't do that they try help yet there are those who simply hate and nothing will change that fact but death and total annihilation
Yes Chinese have military base in Djibouti so does many of the western countries. Selling their land for setting up military bases is like Djibouti's primary source of income it seems. lol
China's military presence is in cooperation with the UN. This is completely unlike the hundreds of US military bases around the globe.
The first thing is to talk to the Solomon Islanders.
Everyone is TELLING them what to do - Talking down to them and treating them like children.
That's why It is so easy for China, they come in and just asks what do you want.
Like any business deal, you lose if you are stupid.
They are small but very strategic ones, India hasn't used its diaspora power especially in islands like Fiji, Mauritius, Seychelles to get any substantial strategic agreement
All three of those islands are very rich in per capita terms, very safe, very stable, unlike Solomon. India cannot project power anyways because we ourselves are too reliant on China, we can only make noise when they are at our borders, its not in our interest to point finger when we have a 77billion and an ever growing trade deficit with China, the government promised to cut down chinese imports 2 years ago, its jut a mess, we cant do it.
Mauritius is our allie.
This is because we are too busy spreading and enforcing Hindutva in India.
@@user-gf5dr5nq6l: Unfortunately the Plutocrats who rule India are not bothered about India's security.
@@pardeeptandon I can agree on both those points
So according to the fellow in this video, it is ok when the Maldive government is friendly towards India and the QUAD countries......and it is terrible when the Maldive government turn towards China for help to develop their infrastructure and economy. So what happens to the sovereignty of a country to decide what is good for itself ?
Where are the people in USA and Australia that are screaming that Ukraine is a free country and can join alliances as they please? How come Solomon Islands need to talk to anyone. It's their country and can do as they please same as Ukraine.
India has zero influence and it’s own vicinity like Burma. However, that doesn’t prevent India talking about the whole world as if they are a force to reckon with👎.
Typical indian behavior, always boastful, always exercising their bragging rights 😂
l previously thought this channel had some credibility. By helping to spread the US propaganda just screwed up your credibility. Repeating the Hambantota port issue as example of debt trap just show how dubious your motives are. l'm sure this person with his knowledge knows the truth but prefers wilful distortion of facts.
If India ever becomes a economic peer competitor to the US, it will be demonized and attacked like China. Meanwhile, it acts as a loyal western lapdog.
The Solomon Islands are a sovereign nation. So just like UKR they have the right to make military alliance of their own choosing. Security concerns of the Quad should not factor into the equation just like Russia's concerns over UKR military alliance with NATO are to be ignored.
Not really, they are in anzac sphere of influence. Also china as an undemocratic force needs to be kept in check. Malevolent and belligerent ignore their ill will at your peril cash bribes or not. As in sril lanka they will bankrupt and annexe the island. Same thing all over the world europe included.
It's the very complete suborning of the country's sovereignty by a single man that is so breathtaking. From what is reported here, the Chinese don't just get a base, but they can go into the islands and do whatever they want.
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2U That's up to the voters and citizens of the Solomon Islands to decide and not the Quad.
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2U And create 800 military bases around the globe?
@@imjamming Am I saying that the Quad get to dictate the Solomon Island's foreign policy? I'm not even stating that their government doesn't have the right to make themselves a province of China. They can do that, if they want. I'm saying that the chief executive of a government taking such unilateral action is shocking and, depending on the laws of that country, might not be legitimate. It certainly wouldn't be in the US, but I don't know how the Solomon Island government works. It definitely deserves scrutiny.
Oh well, as a black American, I don’t see the problem with China having access to where they want to go. Every human being supposedly are free? Blacks have been cut off of everything in all the Western societies by the white power structures. Everything we’ve gotten in America, we had to spill our blood for access of basic human rights and services. It’s nice to see China having them in a position to tremble and the feeling of being choked off. Its nice to see the white man trembling, caused he’s certainly trembled every other nation on earth. I’m glad to see a brown man in position of power like China. Building up other nations infrastructure, hospitals, banking systems and not bombing them because they wouldn’t obey the white man. I’m glad there’s a counter-balance to the West. This white dominance, white supremacy, white hegemony needs to stop when they’re only less than 10% of the world’s population. Good job China! Keep up the good work! I see Russia is getting rid of the nazis from Europe. Maybe some day you could come to America and help the blacks community build infrastructure, hospitals and banking systems. We’re catching bell every day in America and no one cares.
Excellent overview and update on a small but strategic country in the South Pacific.
And full of obvious bias and lies. We all know about the border disputes between India and China, but it is immature to spread lies to gain favor with western allies who would turn on you if you'd ever become a peer economic competitor. India must stay subservient to the west.
Taking a totally bias views what about huge
U.S. base which are so close to China? Let look at the real facts:- The distance between the U.S. bases in Japan Okinawa and China is 2377 km vs Solomon Islands 2000kms to Australia.
The perspectives is the same...thus the narrative in this presentation is totally Ironical.
For any critical analysis what about China security perspective. However, this guy narrative is totally hypocritical...why?...let me point this out :
Diego Garcia, British Military base leased to the United States Navy, located on the atoll Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean which is 3,183kms froms India, which infact is a major concern to India themselves.
For Indian that doesn't follow current affairs. This is what happened to the people of Diego Garcia, a British colony in the Indian Ocean, were thrown off their island to make way for a US military base.
Back in the 1960s India was so concern about it...in regard to India own security.
Now suddenly, it OK with the white guys ...talk about your own security 1st before talking about others...apply your own medicines.
If you want speak about Geopolitics present the whole picture from all perspectives. I can't help it but to bring to attention to those Indian that does not know about thier own situation...while narratively siding with American....So ironical...!!!... No wonder the West exact such influence over Asians.
The Chinese is totally Strategically on the defensive not offensive example the Malacca Straits is a very important choke points that China has no answer. The mass superior U.S. Navy can easily shut down the Chinese supply & trade routes that has more than 50% of thier lifeline...that how China feel about thier security.
Indians forever worship white men.
Well as a free and soveriegn nation they are at liberty to make any security arrangements they choose and with anyone they choose...right NATO? ;)
It is very funny that we Indians are talking, concerned about country of 7 lakh which is comparatively less than any of our Indian town…. World is such a bizarre place
It's logical that China wud ask 1of it's many Pacific Island trade partners, 4the use of its port 2refuel n replenish many of it's South American bound trade n naval ships. Obviously, the maritime service provided wud b an added economic (n infrastructure) boost 4 SI.

They talk about red lines when it comes to the Solomon Islands 🇸🇧 but refused to honour Russian redlines. Hypocrites
clearly well explaind sir tq :)
Solomon islands is strategically situated to monitor the indo pacific. Ability to choke shipping lanes and also be able to strategically place military assets near Australia can have major repercussions. The quad seems to be moving slower than China in most areas

Had India been an American satellite it wouldn't have taken an independent and equidistant stand in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Building expressways requires acquisition of private land on an enormous scale. The reason China was able to build expressways rapidly was because the Legal system developed in the Communist regime doesn't care about individual rights and there's nothing beyond the realm of the Executive. On the other hand, India is a democracy with an Independent Judiciary. Hence, land acquisition matters take years to complete.

Why can't UK put pressure on Solomon Island and give them a better deal,they might try to remove the queen if UK does that,but UK still try
India simply doesn't have the economic muscle to go and sign deals with strategically important small island nations. China keeps its eye on the ball and tries to gain influence in strategically important territories. Chinese influence in Djibouti is a big concern for India. India should maybe try and have a base in the Socotra island of Yemen which is right at the mouth of Red Sea. If you read the history of Socotra, you'll see that the British always had some control over it to watch over other powers of those days like Germany.
But...they are abrahamics..rit? How come v try to do business with them?
why is chinese influence in djibouti a grave concern for india?
Bu why is UK and it's queen are silent
So what is wrong with that?
Seems like you're an the colonial path.
Imagine Australia puts base on taiwan
The Solomons are sacred ground for Americans from WWII. The Solomons campaign was part of a strategy to cut off supply lines to Australia in order to prevent it being used as a base by MacArthur for his return to the Philippines via New Guinea.
The Solomons already have a security agreement with Australia. The claim has been made that Australian forces refused to protect Chinese assets but they operated under the control of the Solomons police. Even if Australia had refused, the police had the opportunity to direct their own or other Pacific states forces to protect Chinese people and property.if required.
China should put its influence to fix the Indian borders with China and Pakistan then business in this regions would be free of border stresses and West influence would be lessened. USa has little border issue and that's why it is looking into other areas to be involved.
Try to understand that india is only a world power due to its population that too half of them are poor..
best would be if both china and india would accept the current zones of control as the border or basis for the border. cause neither will get much more gains short of huge losses in life and property.
Both US and Australia dismissed the Russian objection to Ukraine joining the NATO as threatening Russian national security.
Imagine Ukraine is adjoining Russia and NATO could readily deploy weapons along the Russian border!
Now, the Solomon islands is more than 2000 miles away from Australia and even farther to the US yet both Australia and the US claimed the Chinese security pact with the Solomon islands as threatening their national security!
How preposterous and hypocritical!
They are perfect practitioners of what they themselves called "might is right".
