India spent 15.6 billion to buy 6 anti-submarine aircraft from the United States

Today, the new crown epidemic in India is no longer a matter of India alone, but is related to the overall situation of global epidemic prevention. Countries surrounding India have also taken action to prevent the Indian epidemic from spreading to themselves. China, Russia, Singapore and other countries have also extended a helping hand to India, hoping to help Indian colleagues cope with this severe crisis. However, what is unexpected is that at such a critical juncture, India once again resorted to "weird operations". At the critical moment of epidemic prevention and control, it did not forget to reach an arms purchase deal with the United States of US$2.42 billion, equivalent to approximately 15.678 billion yuan. .

What India has introduced this time is 6 P-8I anti-submarine aircraft. This military expenditure is enough for India to purchase 10 million urgently needed oxygen concentrators from around the world, which can save the lives of countless Indians. There is a chilling logic behind this seemingly incredible move.

India has done three things recently, and their significance is self-evident. The first thing is that when various countries extended a helping hand to India, India thanked the United States, Russia, and many countries that provided materials or even verbal support to India, but it missed thanking China. After the topic of "Thank you China" became a hot topic in India, the Indian authorities responded with a lackluster response and even argued that this was not aid but procurement. Even if they receive aid, it is an expression of their gratitude to India for its past help. China's assistance to India was met with a cold response from India.

The second thing is that India "has healed its scars and forgotten the pain." Just after receiving aid from China, it started causing trouble at the border again. According to a report by the Indian media "Eurasia Times" on May 4, India is rebuilding and upgrading supporting infrastructure along the actual control line on the China-India border, and Indian Army Chief of Staff Manoj has re-launched a combat readiness inspection of the border area.

At the same time, India has also increased its monitoring of China's borders through drones, satellites and other methods. It is also worth noting that 350 light tanks were redeployed to the border area. It is expected to launch a joint military exercise with France in the Arabian Sea on the 25th of this month. Such actions inevitably make people wonder: What does India want to do if it does not control the domestic epidemic but frequently promotes military operations?

The third thing is that the Indian authorities announced the 5G commercial authorization list on May 4. On this list, you can see the names of telecommunications equipment supplier manufacturers such as Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung. However, Only there are no Chinese companies that have technological advantages in the 5G field. There is no doubt that Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE have once again been excluded from 5G construction by India. There must be profound reasons behind the above abnormal behaviors, and these reasons are really chilling to talk about.

First of all, India’s caste system determines that India does not care so much about the living conditions of the people at the bottom. No matter how severe the epidemic in India is and how many people die from the disease, because the main medical resources are occupied by high-caste people, the worst-hit by the epidemic will still be low-caste groups. The reason why I say this is because most upper-caste Indians had already received the COVID-19 vaccine before the outbreak in India. Even if you don't have time to get vaccinated, you can get high-priced vaccines first after the outbreak in India and complete the vaccination.

Another point is that wealthy upper-caste people in India had already "fleeed" India before the lockdown. Therefore, despite the seriousness of the epidemic in India, the daily new confirmed cases and deaths are shocking, but for the Modi authorities, the price paid is only the life and death of low-caste people. This point reveals the indifference of the upper castes in Indian society towards the lower castes. This is really a shame for "democracy".

Secondly, behind India’s high-profile purchase of US military anti-submarine aircraft and its frequent actions on the Sino-Indian border, India’s attempt to “repeat the same tactics” is revealed, that is, by re-provoking Sino-Indian relations, India The internal conflicts caused by the epidemic have shifted outward, refocusing the attention of the Indian people on China. I have to say that India’s logic of “covering its ears and stealing its bells” is really dumbfounding. After all, if India does not manage the epidemic well, the losses will ultimately be borne by India itself.

At the same time, India's "repay a favor with a grudge" mentality towards China also chills China, which has always been honest and loyal.

The last point comes from the fact that India, a country and nation, values ??face above all else. In the eyes of the Indian authorities, the whole world is watching India's "joke". Because of this, India must show a stronger backbone and use large-scale purchases of US military equipment to win back some "face" for India in the international community. . But the problem is, this kind of weird logic simply ignores the priority of things and simply "pays" for India's face with people's lives. Is it really worth it? It must be said that such Indian authorities are by no means a blessing to the people.

All in all, India’s recent alienation and hostility towards China deserves our country’s vigilance. But as far as the current epidemic is concerned, if we fail to deal with it carefully, we may be dragged down by India's ignorance and unscrupulousness. In particular, when the United States is promoting the "Strategic Competition Act of 2021" and intends to fully deal with China, how to avoid being dragged down by India and fully deal with the United States is the top priority. As for India, a country that can't figure out the priorities of the situation and who is to blame should only pay enough attention to it, but there is no need to really care too much. I believe that after this epidemic, the fragmented economy will make India taste the taste of "losing face".
