India Hits China Where It Hurts Most, Teams Up With China’s Top Rival As Beijing Fumes | Details

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.” The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific. #IndiaPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ModiMarcos #IndiaChinaTensions #IndoPacific #MaritimeSecurity #PhilippinesNavy #IndianNavy #FreedomOfNavigation #UNCLOS1982 #StrategicPartnership #IndiaDefence #ChinaPhilippinesTension #BeijingWarning #IndoPacificSecurity #IndiaWarships #ModiForeignPolicy #MarcosInIndia #GeopoliticsAsia #IndiaChinaRivalry

BREAKING|China On High Alert After India-Philippines Joint Patrol Escalates South China Sea Tensions [Video]

BREAKING|China On High Alert After India-Philippines Joint Patrol Escalates South China Sea Tensions

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting “shadowing” vessels and prompting Beijing’s PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activity—as three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoal—coincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies. China condemned the move, accusing Manila of “rallying external powers” and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quad’s maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics. #SouthChinaSea #IndiaPhilippines #PLAAlert #QuadAllies #ScarboroughShoal #MaritimePatrol #BeijingWarning #IndoPacificSecurity #ChinaPhilippines #NavalDrills #StrategicPartnership #HighAlertPLA #Brawner #MarcosInIndia #INSDelhi #NavalShadowing #RegionalTension #PeaceThroughStrength #ChinaSovereignty #TradeRoutes ~ED.194~HT.408~

Jaishankar Meets Xi in China for FIRST Time Since Deadly Galwan Clash |India FLAGS Rare Earth Block [Video]

Jaishankar Meets Xi in China for FIRST Time Since Deadly Galwan Clash |India FLAGS Rare Earth Block

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship. The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations. A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation. Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings. #IndiaChina #SJaishankar #XiJinping #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #LAC #Geopolitics #Ladakh #SCOSummit #WorldNews Also Read Normalisation Of India-China Ties Can Produce Beneficial Outcomes: Jaishankar In Beijing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/normalisation-of-india-china-ties-can-produce-beneficial-outcomes-jaishankar-in-beijing-7800377.html?ref=DMDesc Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?

India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation [Video]

India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao. Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives. #IndiaChina #BorderTalks #GalwanClash #LACStandoff #IndiaChinaTensions #RajnathSingh #DongJun #ChinaIndiaRelations #DefenceDiplomacy #SCO2025 #BorderDispute #Delimitation #TroopDisengagement #Deescalation #ChinaIndiaNews #AsiaStability #Geopolitics #PeaceNegotiations #KailashYatra #LACUpdate ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

WW3 WARNING: Russia SLAMS NATO’s Indo-Pacific ‘Aggression’, Warns US Allies of “Far East Expansion”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific. #Lavrov #SCO #China #Russia #NATO #IndoPacific #EastAsiaSecurity #Geopolitics #USNATO #PacificAsia #GlobalSecurity #RussiaChina #SCO2025 #LavrovSpeech #NATOExpansion #AsianSecurity #MultipolarWorld #BRICS #StrategicAlliance #GeopoliticalTensions #PacificRegion #SecurityArchitecture #RussiaChinaAlliance #SCOChina #IndoPacificStrategy #USChinaRivalry #NATOinAsia #SCOsummit #RussiaVsNATO #AsiaSecurity #GlobalOrder Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

India-China Ties At Tipping Point: Jaishankar Begins High-Stakes Beijing Mission | SCO Talks Begin [Video]

India-China Ties At Tipping Point: Jaishankar Begins High-Stakes Beijing Mission | SCO Talks Begin

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links. Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy. #Jaishankar #BeijingVisit #IndiaChinaTies #LadakhStandoff #WangYi #SCO2025 #TianjinMeeting #TroopWithdrawal #TradeTalks #PeopleToPeople #Diplomacy #IndiaForeignPolicy #SingaporeMeeting #IndoPacific #StrategicDialogue #ChinaIndia #GlobalDiplomacy #RegionalStability #SCO #HighStakesTalks
