I don't understand why people think Russia, China and India are united. They aren't. China and India are rivals and have skirmishes on their borders. China doesn't want to trade only with Russia at the expense of the rest of the world.
The only thing that can make that alignment happen is a common enemy. And only Russia views America as a true enemy. It's not as simple as the media makes it out.
Another way to think about this, if a WW3 breaks out, its not clear that China will defend Russia. And India and China certainly won't defend each other.
- testrun 4y agoChina certainly sees the USA as an enemy. You just need to follow the Chinese sponsored media (Global Times etc) to see it.
- testrun 4y agoIndia and China are members of the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) as well as India participated in the Russian led Vostok military drills (China also participated). The relationship between China and India is complicated.
- nine_zeros 4y agoIndia also joins military drills with US, Japan and Australia. India sells weapons to nations threatened by China. They are truly third world. From the lens of their media, an alliance with China would appear absurd.
