I guess china sent the boats in to reinforce their own interest in the waters and put a bit of pressure on India/Vietnamese relations. The tweet has various lovely comments on how India should sink the Chinese fleet in response to this intimidation.

It's the opposite, with tensions high this is the perfect opportunity to jump in and make plays for strategic interests.

Imran Khan is desperately trying to get the rest of the world to gang up against India. Unfortunately for him, Pakistan is probably the worst country for doing that. It cannot claim the moral high ground, it cannot claim to be neutral and unbiased, and it cannot claim to be a better commercial partner than India.

Well not really. But they're the bigger consumer market, have a better image among regular citizens of western countries and above all have the advantage of not being Pakistan. It's not the hugest differences, but considering how little attention Kashmir is getting depsite what it is clearly it matters. Yeah India is bad at making friend though.

i say swears online posted:who are india's close allies? i don't think they have much international goodwill at all, comparison to pakistan notwithstanding I don't think they're super close with anyone, but they're on good terms with lots of countries. The US have India an exemption for buying nuclear technology, and generally considers India to be a sort of hedge against a growing China. Russia has often worked with India, especially on weapons stuff. There's the Commonwealth as has been mentioned. India was also a key member of the old Non Aligned movement during the Cold War; I seem to recall them having ties with the like of Egypt.

Israel has a lot more to offer than Palestine too. I'm not saying that the two situations are analogous, but the gist of the matter is, the Hindu nationalists in India are shafting the people of Kashmir. Pretty hard right now.

There were like dozen decades of corruption thanks to Bhutto, Nawaz and the like that exploited the country. India has a weird thing where it's a relatively young nation as the Republic of India only really started existing in the 1950's. Getting independence from England is a pretty recent thing. It's simultaneously incredibly ancient in other ways. It has to deal with rampant poverty but is also one of the world's biggest markets for a lot of things and intimately tied into the global tech sector for a variety of reasons. Aside from India and Pakistan not getting along there has been a lot of friction between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Pakistan I think has been repeatedly caught harboring terrorists and having ties to the Taliban. Pretty much nobody likes the Taliban which by extension sours peoples' opinion of Pakistan.

Nine dead in exchange of fire between Indian and Pakistani forces over the Line of Control in Kashmir India has threatened trade restrictions against Turkey and Malaysia for criticizing it's crackdown on Kashmir. India is the biggest importer of palm oil and Malaysia is the second largest exporter. India traders are already calling for a boycott: https://m.in.investing.com/news/com...boycott-2010402

The only reason the USA hasn't pivoted more strongly to India as a part of the so-called "pivot to China" is because everyone relevant to the concern at State has long since resigned in disgust for the private sector, and the military doesn't want to rock the boat re: India/Pakistan when it hasn't exploded yet and there's already half a dozen disasters to be going on with every day, and as you note Trump does not seem to have noticed India and Pakistan are discrete entities and not just one big thing. This is absolutely a disaster in the making for a subsequent administration when events require them to pick a side.
