You want to understand how media propaganda in the West works?
Look at how they cover manufacturing.
First look at the manufacturing in China, which is measured by the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI). This chart shows manufacturing PMI since the start of this year.

Nobody has come forward to defend India, except for global lightweight Sri Lanka.

Any neutral or unbiased analyst would say that China is overall doing quite well, whereas the US is staring at disaster.
But that's not what Reuters thinks.
Here's a headline from May 31, 2023.
So a PMI of 50.9 is "falling factory activity" for Reuters.

As you can see, manufacturing has been expanding for 5 months out of 8.
In July, there was a small dip below 50, but it bounced back in August.
Now look at the same statistics for the USA.
Only in one month since the beginning of this year has the PMI gone above 50.

But strangely, nobody bothers to tell us "all we need to know about America's economic slowdown" even when the PMI for the last 10 months has seen a decline, except for one month (April 2023) when it was barely above 50.
Instead, we are told of a "manufacturing boom."

China recovered from its slight July PMI dip in August, posting a healthy value of 51. But that didn't stop Bloomberg from writing an article telling us all we need to know about "China's economic slowdown."

And the Wall Street Journal tells us that a "resilient US economy" is "defying expectations" (on September 2, 2023).

I guess we don't know whose expectations were defied.

Many people are trying to counter what I said that Canada has not yet presented any evidence in public.
That only makes my case stronger. Without evidence, it should be easy for any country to say we won't believe the allegations until we see the evidence.

It's a win-win.
Modi is a true democrat because he does exactly what his people want him to do.
So everyone in India wants to leave India. If Modi makes that easier, he will be loved by all. Even the ones left behind, because they can dream that one day they will also leave.

Indian people should not try to gloat at the so-called "Chinese COVID crisis."

The logical partner to build a bullet train in India would have been China. But distrust of China in India has been high for the last 60 years, since the 1962 war, so no government can risk peace or cooperation.
This is why the I in BRICS should be Iran, not India.

It looks like you are trying to draw a parallel to the Ukraine war. It's not an appropriate comparison, because by February 1943, Germany had suffered two huge setbacks - Stalingrad and El-Alamein. There was a feeling that Germany could be beaten. Russia is not near that today.
