More India tilt

Chinese President Xi Jinping has been universally praised for his strategic acumen, but this all looks too clumsy. China could have played its Indian card much better. But now it may be too late: Delhi has decided that the Belt and Road — Xi’s pet geopolitical project — should be actively opposed, and Indian concerns helped push the United States into an equally confrontational approach. The two countries are now actively coordinating on tactics and strategy to block Chinese moves across the whole Eurasian chessboard.

Belt and buttons is China passing debt to suckers.
