Wang Yi was only able to buy the leadership in the Solomon Islands, however, his diplomatic blitz by visiting ten more island nations in Southern Pacific ended in a whimper where none of them agreed with the China-proposed ‘Common Development Vision’ as it did not have a consensus. However, a face-saving MOU was signed by China with these countries. #CHINESE FAUX PAS PLUS#Now, to dive deeper into the Taiwan issue Japan, Germany, the UK, and Canada are planning to send their delegations to Taiwan. Lithuania has sent its envoy to Taiwan. Estonia and Latvia have broken off trade relations with China to join Lithuania which had withdrawn from the ‘one plus 16’ grouping (China- Central Eastern Europe Cooperation) that was formed in 2012. Wang Yi must have gone to bed after eating literally his humble pie. The reaction of the so-called second greatest power resembles that of a spoilt school brat that I had referred to earlier. Big and Powerful nations do not behave like a monkey on a hotplate. What happens? Nothing! The dinner continued with its usual razmataz and no one missed Wang Yi including his Cambodian host. Strategically, it is always better to weigh one’s responses rather than throw all your cards and thereafter look dumb as a door knob!Ī gala dinner was hosted for ASEAN Foreign Ministers at Phnom Penh on : Blinken, Jaishankar, and Lavrov, and the rest attend however, minutes after arriving Wang Yi leaves in a huff. President Biden has also approved a weapon package of $ 1.1 billion. China is flummoxed and red-faced with no further options to respond. The US was literally teasing China and enjoying her hyper reactions. Pelosi has summed up her visit in one statement “Xi reacted to her visit like a scared bully”. Very appropriate isn’t it? Now the US is resuming its trade talks with Taiwan. Diplomatic offensives were launched condemning the visit and asking the world to reiterate the ‘One China Policy' as if the world has nothing better to do than to palliate China from its distress. The exercise lasted for a week and when it was about to be called off another delegation of 12 parliamentarians from the US land in Taiwan. China had already used her last ace and found herself silly without any option to upscale her response. It decided to continue with the exercises. Missiles were fired overflights over Taiwan. Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the US House of Representatives visits Taiwan a hell breaks loose. Offensive exercises by air and navy are conducted by China across the median line in the Taiwan Straits. I am sure that at the international level all of you know to whom I am referring. For those who are not following the geopolitics it is China. All children in the school are left amused by their antics. The Head Mistress is well aware of their propensities to explode and is content to overlook their indiscretions. However, for students they are a source of entertainment big boys in the school keep teasing them and watch the fun at their violent and irrational responses. They try to boss around and rarely have any friends. They get annoyed easily and behave irrationally when they cannot get their way. They are noisy and cantankerous and create a ruckus by crying, carping, and complaining. They are loners and are very sensitive and most children avoid them as even the slightest tiff with them would make them fly into tantrums and bring the roof down. The teachers adopt a hands-off attitude towards such children. If we look back at our schooldays most of us would have found one or at the most two ‘juvenile spoilt brats’ among our peers. They always cry and whine at everything about what others do and also, what others don’t do. INDIA’S CHINA PHOBIC POLICY: FAUX PAS BY RAKSHA MANTRI
