Indian response trumps Trump

New Indian Express  

The Trump Administration and Xi Jinping’s expansionist China today are opposing each other, on virtually every global issue.

This, at a time, when one is hearing murmurs of discontent emerging within Pakistan, about being led into a “debt trap” by high interest rates, on Chinese funding for its much-touted China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Moreover, while China and Russia are totally opposed to American sanctions on Iran, Pakistan unilaterally pulled out of an Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project, fearing American sanctions.
