According to international affairs expert Professor Madhavdas Nalapat, China felt that Russia could stop India from getting closer to America. When the S-400 deal was finalized, China was very happy. Where many types of restrictions were imposed on Turkey due to this deal, then the rules were changed for India. From here the whole game went wrong.
India kept getting closer to America and China is getting annoyed about this. Many defense deals were done between India and America and the expectations of Chinese President Xi Jinping from Putin were shattered. He began to believe that Putin had failed to bridge the gap between India and America. Apart from America, UK, France and Italy are also joining hands with India and all these countries are against China. Because of the war in Ukraine, they have also turned against Russia.
Putin broke Jinping’s dream!
Jinping believes that he has failed to fulfill the task assigned to Russian President Vladimir Putin. When the Foreign Ministers met on March 2, a joint statement was to be issued after this meeting. Attempts were also made to make this meeting a complete failure. Because of the war in Ukraine, every country criticized Russia but China as well as the Russian Foreign Minister opposed it. The Foreign Ministers of South Korea and Japan stayed away from it.
On March 1, when India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar hosted a dinner for his counterparts, some European foreign ministers also distanced themselves from it. After this conference, even a joint statement could not be issued. The effort of China and Russia was to prove that they are the global champions, not India. But Turkey, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico sided with India and failed their plan.
Russia forced to pay the price
Russia blamed Western countries for the Ukraine war during the G-20 conference. After this statement of Russia, many experts believe that it is losing the trust of other countries. At the same time, he also believes that somewhere because of China, Russia has given such a statement in this conference. In November 2022, when the G-20 conference was held in Bali, Indonesia, a statement was issued on behalf of all the countries.
Many controversies have been added even before the conference is held in India. Although many experts also believe that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was very polite and no one will be able to forget this. If they are to be believed, there is a price for obeying China and Russia is forced to pay it in terms of its relations with India as well.
