which is projected to overtake China not far from now in terms of economic powerhouse-ness

India is pretty much the only major power that Russia can consider a true "ally"

yes

and historic ties exist between them from USSR era

mhm

India is a mess currently though

it has great potential though

Yes it does

Much more potential than China ever had

That's a meme

i know lol

India also I think has better relations with the indosphere - Burma, Thailand, Bangladesh, etc. than China has with "sinosphere"

But I wouldn't be surprised if India were to surpass China economically in the next decade

i think so too

India is going to have to take a side eventually though, right now they're trying to keep good relations with the US and Russia

Taiwan fucking hates China, as does Hong Kong, and Singapore tacitly sides with Taiwan in defense matters - the Chinese control over "sinosphere" isn't really there

china is weird, but have an interesting system of governance
they aren't thinking in terms of 5 year plans, but for decades, centuries

Chinese system should go to proper economic planning once more

mhm

now its doing mostly indicative planning

which is gay

Oh btw

What do you think about the Nepalese communist party taking power

?

eh

they aren't like the most convincing party ever

They're revisionist but they have a significant orthodox faction

well yes that's true

the question is,

what is viable in Nepal for communist revolution?

i'm unsure

Lol

it seems like they are doomed to become pawn in the India-China game

Probably

I don't view it as authentic potential

but its nice to see hard leftists winning here and there in 21st century

always nice to see

well

"hard leftists"

but still
