America seems to take Indians for complete fools - they're using cheap, childish tricks to try to get us into their sphere of influence

1. In their desperation to sell us their F-16 fighter jets, they've renamed / rebranded F-16 as F-21. Are we fools? Can't the whole world see this cheap trick? Will we really believe just like that that the F-21 is a "different animal"?
1. They seem to think that by naming this old wine F-21, Indians will somehow feel proud and impressed that the plane is somehow just one step short of American flagship F-22.
2. These Americans also think that repeatedly saying things like “The F-21 is different, inside and out,”, will somehow convince us that this plane is indeed different / new.
3. Further, these Americans are trying to link this so-called F-21 to their F-22 and F-35 aircraft. They're using statements such as “The F-21 has common components and learning from Lockheed Martin’s 5th Generation F-22 and F-35 and will share a common supply chain on a variety of components,”, to make us feel like perhaps this so-called F-21 has advanced technologies of US' 5th generation fighter planes. No way. You're allowed to make such a statement even if only 1 nut and 1 bolt from F-22 or F-35 is copied into this F-21. There's no mention in percentage terms or feature terms about technologies from F-22 / F-35 put into F-21.
2. Americans renamed their "United States Pacific Command (USPACOM)" to "United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM)" to appease India. Again, a cheap, low-class trick. They think that Indians can be satisfied with such low-cost tricks. Throw these almost-free breadcrumbs towards Indians and they'll gladly leave their decades-old friends [Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc.] and become great friends with America.

If America is jealous of and worried about Japan, Germany and South Korea, it should get ready for the mother of all these three combined - China

There's no reason why after Japan and South Korea, China cannot or shouldn't become as developed and as technologically-advanced as the former two. This prospect should scare America to hell. Japan and South Korea didn't dethrone USA because these two nations, at the end of the day, are small. They might be powerhouses on per-capita and per-square-kilometer bases, but size of course matters. China doesn't have the area/population/resources/size disadvantages of France / Japan / Germany / South Korea. It's safe to say that the mother of all battles is about to begin, especially since Chinese companies - Huawei, BOE, etc. - are now starting to not just grow very big, but also dominate entire industries.

China cannot endlessly avoid fighting a war if it wants to protect its growing foreign interests from Western predators

What the West is doing in Venezuela matters to both Russia and China, but this is probably the first time that a Western "adventure" matters at least equally to both Russia and China. Past Western nation-destruction plots [Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria] mattered far more to Russia, because Russia is almost the only superpower out there today which keeps a check on West's global crimes, but this time it's Venezuela - and China is heavily invested in this South American nation. Investments that'll evaporate in the blink of an eye if China allows West to install its puppet Juan Guaido as Venezuela's head.

China can't escape the fact that even if it doesn't want to, it'll eventually have to fight a war against the West or against West's proxies, if China wants to protect its increasing international interests from unilateral takeover by Western wolves. Amidst the Western-plotted coup attempt in Venezuela, China's can't simply issue so-called strong statements from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It must back its words with hardcore military power - fly in a 5000 strong group of Chinese armymen to Venezuela to:

1. Protect Venezuelan borders from incursion by Western-backed militants and weapons.
2. Deliver food, medicines and other essential aid to ensure peace and social stability.
3. Defend the legitimate Maduro government from foreign-backed overthrow attempts.
4. Weaken the domestic and international position of West's puppet Guaido.
5. Demonstrate to the West and to the world that China will not allow America to swallow Venezuela.
6. Demonstrate to the West that China will henceforth defend its global interests militarily.

The overall point being that China will have to flex its muscles, otherwise it'll surely lose its global interests.
