🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 Alienating India, the world’s most populous country and the fastest growing large economy, was a fatal fumble by the US. That’s why the US appears to be backtracking on its trade war against India. Thread by @Kanthan2030🧵👇 https://t.co/iCy3TCd0C5
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸⚔️ While objective geopolitical analysts are discussing the Asian Century, delusional American elites are waging diplomatic and economic wars of choice on multiple fronts against allies and rivals alike in Asia and Europe to Latin America. 📉 All this is happening when the US economy is wobbly. Consider the following stats: · The chance of the US economy entering recession is the highest since the COVID pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. The US might even be entering stagflation, a terrible prospect. · Key US sectors such as manufacturing, construction and transportation are already in recession · While US tariffs were supposed to create a renaissance in American manufacturing, the sector has lost 40,000+ jobs since the “liberation day” in April. · Americans are falling behind in payments of credit card, auto loans and student loans at an alarming rate. Also, Google search for “help with mortgage” is the highest since the 2008 financial crisis. · US debt is growing at an unsustainable pace. Budget deficit for fiscal year 2025 will be more than $2 trillion – or a staggering 7% of GDP. · The US dollar index has fallen 11% this year, while gold has spiked 40%. Why? Loss of confidence. 🤔🇮🇳 Given these facts, can the US really afford to wreck its relations with India, soon to be the third largest economy in the world? 2/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇮🇳🇺🇸 India is crucial for the US in many ways. Let’s start with the market and labor, two vital considerations for America Inc. Market share is paramount for three reasons: Profits, Future Opportunities, and Preventing Competition. 📈 These are especially relevant in India, whose economy is growing at 6-8% per year, and the middle class is exploding. Thus, market share in the Indian economy is very desirable. For example, if Google Search is popular in India, Google can then leverage its market share to sell other products from its portfolio – Gmail, YouTube, Google Pay etc. 🚫 More importantly, Google gets to block competitors from China. Without Google, Chinese companies like TikTok (ByteDance), Baidu, AliPay etc. will occupy the tech vacuum. Similarly, in defense, when India buys Russian missile defense systems, that opens the door to Russian fighter jets. 👉 The synergy and the multiplying factor in the ecosystem of any sector are powerful. 3/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇮🇳💼🇺🇸 The US economy is also highly dependent on Indian labor – both for manually intensive manufacturing such as assembling iPhone and software (IT) development. While the MAGA crowd may be unhappy with this outsourcing, US corporations have become highly dependent on India. For example, by next year, all the iPhones sold in the US would be assembled in India. The US cannot easily shift this base elsewhere. 🇨🇳 Plus, with the geopolitical imperative to decouple from China, the US’ dependency on India will only keep increasing. 🧠 Finally, regarding labor, immigration of the smartest minds from India offers enormous benefits to the US economy. Indian immigrants rank #1 in American tech startups and immigrant billionaires. 4/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸🗣️ Some in Washington DC like to say, “India buys nothing from us.” What a weird claim! Have they ever been to India? American products and stores are everywhere in India – food/drink items such as Coca Cola and Lay’s, restaurant chains like KFC and Starbucks, apparel/sports shops like Polo and Nike… literally thousands of American brands can be seen everywhere in India. 💻 In IT, it’s almost all American – Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Dell… the list goes on. The entire e-commerce market in India is virtually monopolized by Amazon and Walmart (Flipkart). 💰US investors and venture capital firms also have a huge presence in India. Most successful startups in India have Americans as the largest shareholders. 👉So, yes, India has a small trade surplus with the US, but the big picture math works out in favor of the US. 5/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸🇮🇳 With all the facts discussed above, the US should be grateful that India is not retaliating. 🤔 Imagine if the Indian government levies extra tax on American companies operating in India. That would rock the US stock market. 🇮🇳🇨🇳 Also, the US has benefited a lot from India-China friction. But if India reverses its policies and allows Chinese companies like Huawei, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Shein, TikTok, WeChat etc. to compete with American companies, the latter would feel a lot of pain. Americans talk about the free market, but hate competition in reality. 6/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🌐🇺🇸 While the rise of a multipolar world and multilateral organizations such as BRICS are inevitable, the US seems determined to accelerate these geopolitical phenomena. Unnecessarily insulting the Indian economy as “dead” or imposing 50% tariffs on Indian goods or demonizing India for buying Russian oil are all imperialist and arrogant actions that will push India towards China and closer to Russia. (Those are good things for the world, but bad from the US Empire’s perspective). 🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳 If Russia, India and China form an alliance, it will be the end of US primacy at least in Asia, which is the growth engine of the world. America’s so-called “Pivot to Asia” will come to an end. And if Europeans wake up from their stupor and join RIC, it will herald the Eurasian century of prosperity and peace. 7/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
☝️In geopolitics, there are two existential rules: 1) Have as many friends as possible 2) Have as few enemies as possible 🇺🇸🥴 The US is doing the opposite. It’s hurting friends like India, Europe, Japan and South Korea, while creating new enemies – like Russia and China. 📒 The Empire managers in Washington are too obsessed with primacy and the old playbook of divide-and-rule. 8/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸😵💫 While the MAGA movement is not wrong about the perils of de-industrialization, their approach of trade wars and tariffs is misguided. 🇨🇳📈 Look how China transformed itself into a manufacturing powerhouse over the last three decades. Did China whine and complain about the “unfair” world? Did China try to force other countries to buy Chinese goods? No, No. 💰 Moreover, the US needs to realize that if it wants the dollar to be the global currency, it must run trade deficits. Wall Street, which runs America, decided to move into services many decades ago. Thus, if the US President wants to change America, he must get the buy-in from the financial masters. Else, all his trade wars and tariffs will only hurt America. 🇺🇸🚩 For example, since the tariffs were introduced, aluminum producers in the US have increased the prices by 50%. They did not use the protectionist policies to build more factories, hire more Americans, and increase production. That is the problem with American capitalism. 9/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇮🇳🇺🇸 In conclusion, the US needs India more than the other way around. 🧠If the US were smart, it would help India’s economic growth and support India’s strategic autonomy. A peaceful and prosperous India will benefit American corporations. And a non-bullying America will earn the love and trust of even more Indians, who are generally very pro-USA. 🇷🇺🇮🇳 The US should study how Russia manages its relations with India – diplomacy, patience, focus on win-win opportunities, and long-term strategic cooperation. 🇨🇳👀 The US must also study China on how to work with the Global South – collaboration, investment in infrastructure, and treating others with respect. 👉 Gone are the days of “My way or the highway.” 10/10

🚨🇨🇳🤔 What is China? A recent trip by @Kanthan2030 to Yunnan province in China to attend the Global South Media and Think Tank Forum revealed some surprising insights. Welcome to a thread on propaganda v. reality.🧵👇 https://t.co/l1zYbouwKl
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🤔 What was the Global South Forum about? Sponsored by Xinhua News Agency, the Forum was a follow-up to the SCO Summit in Tianjin two weeks ago. It brought together 500 influential journalists, think tank analysts & some government officials from 100+ developing nations! 🇨🇳🌐This was a demonstration of China’s true commitment to a multipolar world. Such a conference would never take place in the USA! That's for sure. 2/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳💡 The Global South Forum in China was centered around four important topics: ◾️Championing Unity, Building Consensus ◾️Coordinating Development, Igniting Growth ◾️Strengthening Bonds, Blazing New Trails (on collaborative power) ◾️Bridging Cultures, Fostering Understanding 🇺🇸 Needless to say, this is totally a new approach to geopolitics. It’s not like the US philosophy of, “If you are not at the table with us, you will be on the menu” or “There is no such thing as strategic autonomy. If you are not with us, you are against us.” 3/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🌍 The Global South Forum was exemplary in true diversity. 🗪 Not only did we have a chance to hear diverse opinions from Asia, Middle East, Africa, Russia, Latin America etc., the majority of speakers spoke in their native languages – with live translation provided for the audience. 🇷🇺 A Russian executive at the Forum eloquently spoke about what diversity means – differing geopolitical perspectives, not just people of different skin color or sexual orientations regurgitating the same talking points of an Empire. 4/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳 Although the entire Forum was organized by China and took place in China, there was no lecture by Chinese leaders. 👉 No Chinese person came to the podium and said, “We are the biggest economy among developing nations. We figured out the secrets to development, prosperity and peace. You all must listen to us and embrace our political system and economic philosophy.” 🇺🇸 Compare this to how the American leaders lecture the world about freedom and democracy or “wokeism” and human rights. ⚠️ And if you don’t agree with the US, your country will face color revolutions, sanctions, tariffs, proxy wars, and even bombing. 5/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
😱 “Are you a member of the CCP?” That’s how the US Congress grilled the CEO of TikTok. 🇺🇸🇨🇳 If only the paranoid and ignorant Americans would visit China and talk to some CPC officials. (Yes, it’s CPC and not CCP, but that’s too hard for the American brain). In the Global South Forum, a handful of CPC officials spoke. They did not thump Karl Marx’s Das Capital or Mao’s Little Red Book on the table. 🧠 Instead, they spoke with logic and facts. They were intellectual, analytical and objective. The CPC officials are half scholars and half CEOs. 👨🎓 When a CPC official from Tibet spoke about ecology, she sounded like an expert; when another CPC official spoke about preserving archaeological findings, he came across like a professor. 💡 So, rather than the US trying to ban CPC (“CCP”) members, it should do the opposite. Attract the best immigrants to MAGA. 6/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳⭐ When the BBC or NY Times show photos of China, they show polluted skies. But the fact is that China has changed tremendously since Xi Jinping came to power. The pollution in Beijing, for example, has fallen 70% from peak. And the photos of Kunming I took also show beautiful, clear skies. 🤔 How did China do it? Renewable energy, electric cars, clean coal (yes, it’s real thing) power plants, and better manufacturing. More than half of all new cars sold in China this year are EV. Chinese cities are also planting tens of millions of trees and creating new parks every year. We visited the pristine Fuxian Lake, a wetlands park and the famous Stone Forest (Shilin). 👉 Finally, “communist” China is also placing a lot of importance on heritage and culture. There are 55 minority ethnic groups in China, and they are all protected and promoted by the CPC. 🙏 Yeah, forget about the cultural revolution of the 1960s. In the new China, everything from Buddhism to cultural heritage is celebrated. 7/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳🏙️ Anyone with a brain knows by now that China has impressive infrastructure in the Tier-1 cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. But this trip to Yunnan province – with a GDP-per-capita of only $9500 – proved that even the smallest cities and towns have impressive basic infrastructure. While Kunming does not have massive skyscrapers, it has extensive metro systems and high-speed rail; and much smaller cities like Yuxi have beautiful and foundational infrastructure that you will not find in most American and European cities. 🛣️ For example, the highways are world-class; city roads are impeccable with excellent sidewalks; malls are wonderful and modern; and everything is clean. Also, electricity and water are plentiful. The local government has beautified big cities and small towns alike, making tourism a booming industry. 8/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳 Here are some of the things I did NOT find in Yunnan, China: ◾️Potholes ◾️Traffic jam ◾️Noise pollution ◾️Air pollution ◾️Trash ◾️Beggars ◾️Drug addicts ◾️Graffiti ◾️Violence/crime 9/12 https://t.co/quTubK3nC7

🇨🇳🇺🇸 While the US cries about China’s tariffs or closed economy, the truth is that American companies make more than $1 trillion a year through their Chinese subsidiaries. We stayed at two hotels: InterContinental and Hilton, both American chains. Red Bull, Coca Cola, Heineken, KFC, Starbucks… visitors can enjoy every Western brand in China. At the malls in Kunming, you can find big American/European brands – Apple, North Face and so on. Heck, I even saw a Maserati showroom. ⛔ Meanwhile, the free market-loving US bans Chinese cars, Chinese smartphones, Chinese AI apps etc. and even demonizes TikTok. ✅ Oh, by the way, I was able to access the internet without requiring a VPN. Nobody arrested me for using X or YouTube. 10/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳 The Global South Forum also revealed another trait that underpins China’s success: Organizational skills. The Forum had 500 delegates from 100 countries and there were dozens of events, each of which required meticulous planning. However, there was not a single glitch. 🗃️ There were hundreds of Chinese event planners to take care of every small detail. There was also personalized help. For example, me and another delegate were assigned a Chinese person, who took care of all our logistics, answered all our questions, and accompanied us everywhere. 💼 Everyone at the event was a symbol of perfection and professionalism. Even when they were off-duty, they would go out of their way to help us. And everything was done with a smile. 📍 Finally, the attention to details was remarkable. For example, when we went to two different museums, there were bands and performers who started performing the moment we stepped out of the bus. 👉 If Chinese factories ran like this, it would be no wonder why China succeeded. 11/12
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇨🇳✍🏻 There is a lot for other countries – USA included – to learn from China. One thing that caught my attention was there was no bragging or whining in China. Nobody claimed that China was the greatest country; and nobody whined about the US sanctions, tariffs and containment policies. 🇺🇸😏 Compare that to Americans who endlessly brag about their greatness while also complaining about allies and rivals alike. Here’s an excerpt from my speech at the Forum. It summarizes the key principles of development: 💬 “While the China Model is hard for other countries to replicate, the fundamental secrets to development are not hard to understand. It’s about holistic and incremental progress in a myriad of areas – basic infrastructure such as electricity, roads, highways and railways; schools and colleges to create a skilled workforce; urbanization and modernization to increase productivity; sound monetary and fiscal policies; as well as the rule of law and a stable political environment. And all these must be done in a sustainable way.” 12/12

🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺 Colonizer becomes colonized — Trump bullies the EU into an unequal treaty & a brutal trade deal. From the 2008 financial crisis & Nord Stream sabotage to Ukraine War & tariffs, the US has been systematically destroying Europe. Let’s unpack: @Kanthan2030🧵👇 https://t.co/sHWe4lYFGF
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇪🇺📉 The EU has a population of 450 million – 30% larger than the US – and had a GDP 10% larger than the US’ back in 2008. But after 12 years of economic stagnation, Europe has become a spineless vassal that is willing to accept shocking humiliation and blatant manipulation by the US Empire. 🌐 EU’s leaders are puppets of globalists headquartered in America. Unelected “leaders” like Von der Leyen are destroying the European economy and society. And their goal? Prolong the American hegemony. 🇷🇺 Europe may even annihilate itself one more time by going to war with Russia. Apparently, WW1 and WW2 were not enough to teach Europe the biting lessons of divide-and-rule in geopolitics. It’s now hard to imagine how this clueless Europe once colonized much of the world. 2/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸🤔 So, what is the trade/investment shakedown that Trump imposed on the EU? 1. EU will reduce tariffs on American goods to nearly 0%… while the US will impose 15% tariffs on European goods. 2. EU has agreed to buy a staggering $750 billion of oil and gas from the US over the next three years. 3. EU will invest $600 billion in the US. 4. This is in addition to Europe agreeing to spend 5% of their GDP on “defense,” which means mostly buying US weapons. 🕵🏻 In the mafia movies, they hang a person by his feet outside a balcony to get such deals. What did the US do to the European elites? Centuries-old German companies are being shut down… Spain experienced a devastating nationwide power outage… Italy’s population is decreasing because young people cannot find good jobs… and promising European startups are being bought out by US venture capital firms… but these countries will invest hundreds of billions of dollars in American companies? Beyond ridiculous! 3/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🤔🇪🇺 Whether the EU will be able to keep its promises is debatable, but a consortium of sovereign nations should never surrender in such a humiliating way. Did nobody in Europe bother to tell the US that it benefits immensely in terms of European markets and revenues in software and services? 💰 The EU leaders should have threatened to tax BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook, CNN and countless other American companies operating in Europe. 🇷🇺🇨🇳 Europe could have also used Russia and China as leverages to force Trump to back off. “You want to impose 30% tariffs on European goods? Fine! We will buy oil and LNG from Russia; we will buy Chinese electric cars rather than Tesla; and we will buy Xiaomi smartphones rather than Apple iPhones.” 4/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
♟️🇪🇺 The extent to which Europe has been vassalized is incredible. In terms of economy, Europeans have blindly followed the US dogma and deindustrialized themselves. Now, Europe is lagging behind China in manufacturing and thus has a massive trade deficit with the Chinese, who have caught up in technology and quality. 🤔 Okay, how about the services sector? Well, Europe has largely ceded that market to the US. Where are the European versions of ChatGPT or Nvidia? Europe couldn’t bother to build a search engine or social media or even an internet browser. 📉 Europe’s share of global Fortune 500 firms has decreased dramatically over the last two decades. For example, Germany, France and the UK combined have 74 firms today versus 115 back in 2005. When Goldman Sachs said in the early 2000s, “Here is an amazing real estate bubble,” the Europeans jumped head first and crashed their entire economy in 2008. That led to a lost decade – the EU’s GDP in 2018, 2019 and 2020 were lower than it was in 2008. Meanwhile, the banksters in the US laughed at the collapsing European countries and called them “PIGS” – Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. 🛢️ Finally, Europe is even too scared to buy commodities such as oil in Euro, which should theoretically be as popular as the US dollar in trade and FOREX. To summarize, Europe has lost its leadership in manufacturing, technology and finance. What is left? 5/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸🇪🇺 To understand this European tragedy, one must realize the influence of the US spying/military industrial complex in Europe. 🕵🏻 As the German journalist Udo Ulfkotte revealed, every European mainstream media is controlled by the CIA. He said, “I was taught to lie, betray and never tell the truth. I was paid by the CIA, secret societies and billionaires. Journalists are used to manipulate the people.” 🔎 Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know that the American NSA blatantly taps the phones of European leaders and spies on European elites’ emails and text messages. When it was revealed four years ago that the US has data centers in Denmark to spy on Europeans, the news was quickly sent into the memory hole after a few days. 6/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇺🇸🪖 That NATO has ruled over Europe since the end of WW2 also greatly contributes to European subservience. Accepting the US military’s occupation and rule has damaged European sense of pride and dignity. 🛢️ When the US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, the entire Europe meekly accepted the terrorism and then agreed to buy American oil and gas, which are far more expensive than Russian ones. And Europeans cannot understand the concept of problem-reaction-solution. That is, NATO can justify its existence only if Europeans face an external threat. This is the fundamental reason behind the conflict with Russia. 🇪🇺🇷🇺 If Europe and Russia got along well, NATO and US military occupation would become pointless. 7/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇪🇺😵 Europe is dazed and confused, paralyzed and victimized. If European leaders are blackmailed, European people are kept ignorant. ⚠️ For starters, Europe has essentially banned independent media. Can you think of one radical European blog or podcast? The entire society has been crushed into obedience and ignorance. 🤐 Europe has such severe censorship – for example, Russian media are kept away from the eyes and ears of Europeans – that people do not understand what is happening to them and why. The UK’s “Online Safety Act” is an Orwellian law that lets the government monitor every move of their citizens. Soon, people will be arrested a few hours after typing something “racist” in a private message. 8/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇪🇺 EU is a totalitarian nightmare. Europeans don’t understand how/why the EU is an undemocratic and globalist institution; they don’t know that the Euro currency and the European Central Bank are enslaving tools; they don’t know why the continent is being “Japanified”; and they don’t understand why millions of refugees from American wars have been flooding into Europe. 🤔 Who elected Ursula von der Leyen? How many Europeans can name technocrats or committee members who are formulating the draconian laws that control every aspect of life from cradle to death? 9/10

🇺🇸🌐 The US is desperate to save its Empire. Overwhelmed by debt and threatened by the rise of the Global South, the US is desperately resorting to extortion of its vassals – euphemistically known as “allies.” 💵 Unable to print money to cover the cost of the overseas military outposts, the US Empire is demanding that the tributary states pay up more for the protection racket. ⚔️ Plus, the US Empire is forcing its vassals to fight on its behalf – that’s what the Ukraine-Russia war is all about; and that’s what the US is trying to do in the South China Sea by corralling Japan, South Korea, Australia etc. to fight China. ✊ The vassals need to wake up, unite, and fight back against the Empire of Destruction. 10/10

🚨📈 500 years of Western domination is coming to an end. And the Global South is rising – re-emerging in some cases like 🇮🇳 India and 🇨🇳 China. However, there are a myriad of challenges. Here’s how to make the Global South great again. @Kanthan2030 🧵👇 https://t.co/vNmJjmVvOX
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🤔 It may be hard to believe that developing nations are rapidly climbing up the economic ladder, since we still see, for example, Indians and Mexicans are emigrating to the US and not the other way around. And the GDP-per-capita in the EU is still three times larger than that in China. However, the geo-economic trend is unmistakable. 🇨🇳 China’s economy was smaller than that of the UK 20 years ago; today, China is 5x larger than the UK in terms of nominal GDP. 🇮🇳 Similarly, India has surpassed many European countries over the last 20 years and will overtake Japan in 2025 to become the world’s 4th largest economy. 2/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
📊 But there is another metric that is better than the nominal GDP, and it is called the PPP GDP or Purchasing Power Parity GDP. This takes into account the differing costs of living in each country. Thus, based on PPP GDP: ◾️ China is larger than the USA ◾️ BRICS is larger than the G7 ◾️ Asia is larger than the rest of the world 🤷♂️ In fact, China has been the world’s largest economy for a decade, although most Americans are blissfully unaware of this. 📈 Finally, look where the economic growth comes from: China and India lead the way, and Asia accounts for almost two-thirds of the global growth. 3/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🤔 So, what are the factors contributing to the rise of the Global South? First, the end of colonialism after WW2 made the biggest difference. Now, countries have far more freedom to determine their own future. Next came the end of the Cold War, which really opened up global opportunities for the people in under-developed nations. 👨👩👦👦 Second, the simple fact that 85% of the world’s population live in developing nations. This simply meant more workers and more consumers. 📈 Take the so-called Yuxi circle. Half of the world’s population lives in this area. The potential for development and trade is just immense. 4/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
👷♂️ Third, the demographic dividend. In India, the median age is 29; and in Africa, the median age is 19. This means abundant workers and consumption, both of which are great for economic growth. 🌐 Fourth, globalization. This meant offshoring of manufacturing and services from developed to developing nations. Also, immigration offered unprecedented opportunities for people to travel abroad for better education and work experiences. The internet also resulted in free flow of information and leveled the playing field. 🏆 Fifth, thirst for success. Throughout human history, wealth eventually creates laziness and complacence, while poverty can be a great motivator. And that’s exactly what’s happening in China, India, ASEAN, Africa and elsewhere. 5/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🤔 So, how can the Global South maintain this great momentum? The #1 objective should be to focus on the basics – infrastructure, education, health, jobs etc. Take Africa, for example. More than 40% of the population lack electricity. This must obviously be fixed urgently. Similarly, India’s electricity production is one-fifth that of China. 🛠️ Next are roads, railways, airports, seaports etc., which increase productivity and enable trade. This requires trillions of dollars of investment, but there are no shortcuts. Developing countries must make it a priority. 🎓 Education – especially the one that teaches children how to think – are the key to a nation’s success. There must also be good colleges and universities to prevent brain drain. Governments can also initially sponsor college graduates to study abroad on the condition that they come back to their homeland. The Global South must also nurture their own intellectuals in all fields of studies – engineering, economics, medicine and so on. 🔬 Research and Development (R&D) are also vital to achieve self-sufficiency. If the Global South is dependent on the US and Europe for all the hi-tech, they will remain hostage to neo-imperialism. 6/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇯🇵 After WW2, Japan made an astonishing recovery after being totally devastated. One of the secrets was a principle called Kaizen, which meant small but continuous improvement. The Global South must adopt the Kaizen principles in every sector. Improve infrastructure, education, technology etc. as a never-ending process. ⚙️ The goal must be to move up the value chain. If you are making clothes and toys, the eventual goal must be to create your own brands. In India, smart minds have been working for American software companies for three decades now. When will India create its own Microsoft, Google, Oracle etc.? 📝 Next is long-term planning like China does. Create 5-year and 10-year plans and try to exceed the goals. Nobody plans to fail, but many fail to plan. 7/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
💡 There’s nothing that inspires innovation like competition. 💱 The Global South must embrace healthy competition and free trade – with some exception. Sometimes, protectionism is needed to protect the “infant industries” to give them some time to mature. However, this cannot last forever, since this will discourage any improvement in products and services. 📊 Thus, every country must foster domestic and international competition, the latter through free trade. India, for example, must join RCEP and other agreements. At home, monopolies of any kind must be avoided. While some critical sectors could be state-owned, there should be multiple SOEs to foster healthy competition. 💰 While the government and the private sector must collaborate, there should be no corruption or pay-for-play schemes. 8/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🚧 While the Global South faces a plethora of obstruction from the old imperialists, sometimes the biggest enemy of developing nations can be found in front of a mirror. That is, the victims of colonialism fight one another and act as proxy tools. 🤔 Think how Koreans and Vietnamese fought and killed their own people during the Cold War. Or, how India and China got into a war just a few years after the famous Bandung Conference in 1955. ♟️ How Ukraine foolishly became an expendable pawn of the US is another tragic geopolitical story for the history books. In fact, even Europe is a foolish victim who does not know that the US is weakening them through conflicts with Russia. In the Middle East, we can see how the powers that be are trying to start a war with Iran after having destroyed Syria. 🇨🇳 As the globalists try to prevent the rise of the Global South, they will try to disrupt Asia, and the #1 target will be China. Thus, they will try to instigate countries like the Philippines, Vietnam and India to wage a proxy war against China. 💡 If the developing nations focus on development, cooperation and trade, they will prosper. Else, they will be pushed back decades. 9/10
@Sputnik_India - Sputnik India
🇮🇳🤝🇨🇳 For 2000 years, the world’s two largest economies were China and India. History is simply reverting back to the normal state. This time, it’s a strategic imperative for these two nations to build a coalition of emerging economies. 🌐 There are some good news and bad news. BRICS has been the most consequential forum for the Global South. While BRICS expansion is extremely encouraging, the outcomes have not kept pace with the rhetoric. 💸 De-dollarization should be the #1 priority in the near future, since those who control the money control their destiny. As long as the developing nations depend on the US dollar and the SWIFT financial payment system, they will be subjected to debt traps, sanctions and diktats of the Empire of Chaos. 🎯 Next, the Global South needs to come up with an inspiring vision of a world – an all-encompassing architecture that is based on peace, progress and humanity. Civilizational states such as China, Russia, India and Iran must reach into their own past to find the wisdom and courage to lead the world. 10/10
