Sending a strategic signal to China, India rarely shows such muscular development | India | Strategy

Is it rare for India to show off its muscles like this and send a strategic signal to China?!
Rare, indeed rare, because this is India's rare dual carrier combat group military exercise.
In addition to deploying two aircraft carriers at the same time, India has also dispatched multiple warships, submarines, and 35 carrier based aircraft for daytime and nighttime exercises. The scene is quite grand, and this is also the first time India has held such a large-scale sea exercise.
The strategic signal is not what I said. Looking at the headline of an article in The Times of India, it is "India simultaneously allows two aircraft carrier battle groups to participate in exercises and sends a strategic signal to China.".
In the article, there is a paragraph that goes like this:
The seamless integration of two aircraft carrier battle groups and combat exercises, coupled with the recent long-range strike exercises conducted by the Indian Air Force's Rafale fighter and Su-30MKI fighter in the western and eastern coastal areas of India, is undoubtedly a strategic signal to China, aimed at pointing out the vulnerability of the latter in the Indian Ocean region.
What does it mean?
According to Indian media, the strategic signal is that in the Indian Ocean, India is strong and China is weak.
Watching a program on an Indian television station, the female anchor was even more eloquent, saying that the Indian Navy has strong combat capabilities, and 80% of China's import and export goods need to pass through the Strait of Malacca, but the Indian Navy has the ability to block this route
For this rare military exercise, Indian Navy spokesperson Madwar is also full of confidence, saying that it is an "important milestone" for the Indian Navy to seek to strengthen maritime security and power delivery capabilities in the Indian Ocean and beyond.
According to him, the two Indian aircraft carriers, the Vikram and the Chaori King, are both mobile air bases. "They can be deployed anywhere, increase mission flexibility, respond to emerging threats in a timely manner, and continue air operations."
The United States is the largest aircraft carrier country with military bases spread all over the world. India is so muscular, what does the United States think?
Americans are happy that India has learned from us.
A CNN report stated that due to India's frequent participation in military exercises organized by the United States, India's dual carrier combat should have learned a lot from the United States.
But what makes people laugh and cry is that the headline of this CNN article is "India showcases naval strength through dual carrier exercises, which is an unfinished feat for China".
Around and around, it's still China.
Speaking and speaking, don't forget to step on China.
How to say it?
Don't be angry with China, this is reality. The United States is concerned, India is concerned. Finally, let's make it three simple points.
Firstly, let's not underestimate India.
I've always said, we really can't underestimate India. Even in my opinion, China has only two strategic competitors in the long run, one is the United States and the other is India.
The United States does not need more explanation. India's vast population and market, as well as its rising ambition as a major power, are destined to become an important force in the future world, surpassing many countries such as Japan and Russia in strength.
Specifically at sea, after all, there are only a few countries like India with two aircraft carriers in the world.
Although the "Super Sun King" was an old aircraft carrier purchased from Russia, the Indian made "Vikrant" has not yet formed true combat capabilities, but it is still an aircraft carrier. India is still seeking a third aircraft carrier.
At least in the Indian Ocean, India is an important force that cannot be ignored.
We cannot ignore India's development and potential, including its military strength, just because we like or dislike India.
Secondly, this kind of heart knot in India is really unacceptable.
This is a very helpless place.
We can see that no matter how restrained China is, India is unable to conceal its feelings towards China, as well as its various difficulties and calculations towards China, and some small actions that cannot be brought to the surface.
Even one of our own aircraft carrier exercises should be described as a "strategic signal" aimed at China. Indian media hype up, while Americans add fuel and vinegar.
What strategy is it?
It's just an imbalanced inferiority complex. I always feel that many times, inferiority and arrogance are intertwined, and the more arrogant a person is, the more inferiority they are inherently.
As the saying goes: Blowing out someone else's lamp does not make oneself brighter; Blocking someone else's path will not allow oneself to travel further.
Of course, I'm definitely not talking about India.
Thirdly, both China and India should strive.
Both great countries, also known as ancient civilizations, have glorious histories and humiliating past, and both have been established at similar times. In the first few decades, development was slow, especially in China. Both countries learned a painful lesson.
Remembering the pain, over the past 40 years, China has made great strides and leapt to become the world's second largest economy; India is also catching up quickly and is now the third largest economy in Asia and sixth in the world.
We all have similar centenary goals, and India even hopes to surpass China.
Development is the absolute principle.
Let's strive and let the results of our struggle explain everything.
In fact, lifting millions of Indians out of poverty is also a blessing for the world. So, India, don't be militaristic, fall into the "middle-income trap", and don't fall for the Western instigation of discord!
As for China, we need to be more confident, confident in our abilities and potential. India can be friends, and it's best to be friends. But if I really don't want to be friends, it should be India's loss.
As for the "strategic signal" sent by India's dual aircraft carriers, it's still okay. The Indian Ocean is large and should be able to accommodate many countries. But making India and the West so concerned also indicates the current strength of the Chinese navy.
In addition, during the exercise break, Indian soldiers practiced yoga on the aircraft carrier. Not to mention, India at this moment is still very lovely.
