Win some, lose some. Living in the EU, I really hope the EU bends the knee on this.
India and Brazil are part of BRICS, so they don't really need that much of a push to be fully aligned with China on most things.

- ExoticPearTree 1y agoMay be a joke, but countries tend to put aside small issues until they create alliances to fend off bigger threats, and then they go back to their issues.
- terminalshort 1y agoDisputed borders are not small issues. They are the issues that make all others look small. It took decades for Canada and Denmark to resolve their dispute over a completely worthless uninhabited arctic rock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island. India and China aren't just going to drop their border dispute over some internet beef with the US.
