(According to reliable eastern diplomatic sources, yesterday Chinese President Xi Jinping called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and inquired about his and his mother’s health. It was meant to be a follow up call on his recent visit to India. But Jinping also wanted to assure Modi about his commitment to maintain good neighborly relations between their two countries and to reconfirm the economic cooperation. Narendra Modi, however, was on the seventh heaven in the wake of his last week’s visit to the United States and acted as if he didn’t give a damn about China or its progress. This made Jinping mad with rage; he flared up.)
JINPING: Mr. Modi, please listen! Just within a few years China is going to surpass the US economically and become the world’s largest economy. Our infrastructure is better, we have good transport system, fine highways, maglev trains which runs at 431 kilometers per hour, powerful infrastructure, sound telecommunications system, …
Tell me Mr. Modi, what do you have?
MODI: Mere Pass Amrica hae [or I have the United States].
(Jinping murmurs to himself: The already fucked up region is gonna get screwed for a long time. Modi’s recent visit to the US does not bode well for the region because the US is going to use US/India relations to create rift between India and China. It will use all the dirty tricks to create trouble among the neighbors in the region to maintain the US hegemony.)
