After the Philippines took the lead in provoking a new round of friction in the South China Sea and fled back in disgrace, the United States sent people to India to do things.
Judging from the current situation, the United States really wants to launch multiple arrows and at the same time make things happen in China's neighborhood. In the direction of the South China Sea, there is the Philippines in three days, in the northeast, there is South Korea to provoke North Korea to provoke the situation on the peninsula, and in our rear, we must be careful of India.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan arrived in India two days ago to begin a two-day visit.
Sullivan and Modi meet
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just been successfully re-elected to start a new term, and Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said that he will focus on the Sino-Indian border issue next.
Although India has always cooperated with the United States, they are not blindly following and have no opinions, and India will stick to its position on some issues, such as in handling relations with Russia, the differences between the United States and India have gradually intensified in the past two years, and they have repeatedly violated the wishes of the Biden administration.
Now that Modi continues to serve as India's prime minister, and has released rumors from the beginning, hinting that it will focus on handling relations with China, the United States will naturally not let go of this good opportunity.

After the meeting between Sullivan and Indian national security adviser Doval, the two sides issued a joint statement saying that the United States and India will continue to promote cooperation in strategic areas such as chips, AI and space. India plans to purchase the MQ-9B military drone platform, as well as a possible land warfare system of joint production.
During the meeting with Modi, Sullivan further described cooperation in various areas, including sensitive technologies, and declared that he would prevent the leakage of sensitive technologies and dual-use technologies to "relevant countries".
Reuters believes that the United States and India are building a deeper strategic relationship because both sides are worried about China's rise. Although Sullivan did not directly name him, we all know who the United States is targeting.
However, if it wants to pull India to deal with China in chips, space and other fields, the United States seems to have miscalculated. In order to stop China's development in this field, the United States has roped in many countries in the past two years, either to exert pressure or inducement, but in the end there are not many countries that are willing to cooperate.
The leading foreign companies that cooperate closely with China are even more reluctant to cut off their own financial routes, so the United States' "neck" strategy has not been completely successful, and even now with India, it is impossible to turn the tables against the wind.
Of course, the United States not only wants to seek India to strengthen cooperation in this area, but also wants to start a fire on the Sino-Indian border. The US Congress recently introduced a Tibet-related bill, which is not only a blatant interference in China's internal affairs, but also a wrong signal to India.

In this regard, mainland Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian clearly stressed that the US side should abide by its commitments, not sign relevant Tibet-related bills, and China will take resolute and forceful measures to defend its sovereignty and interests.
As we all know, the differences between China and India mainly come from the border issue, although the friction has been reduced in the past two years, but the problem has not been completely resolved from the root cause has always been a "time bomb".
It is precisely because we know that the United States is uneasy and kind, and that India is calculating, that our border guards have long been fully prepared. All kinds of on-the-ground exercises are uninterrupted, weapons and equipment are constantly updated and improved, and as long as India dares to cross the red line, it must be prepared to be beaten.
