NEW DELHI: With the US dragging its feet in offering India help to combat the world’s worst virus crisis, China is moving to drive a wedge between the democratic security partners.
In a barrage of editorials, political cartoons and social-media posts in recent days, the Communist Party-backed Global Times newspaper blasted the US for failing to provide aid while calling on India to improve ties with Beijing. Highlighting the desperate situation in Delhi, where hospitals and crematoriums are overwhelmed, it suggested that India can’t rely on the US.
“This pandemic shows that the West’s getting closer to India is more in a geopolitical sense,” the Global Times, which serves as a key platform for China to send messages to the world, said in an editorial over the weekend. “Their closeness to each other is fragile and superficial.”
