India Warned: Look Beyond Taiwan for Potential Chinese Strategy

Ex-US Marine intel officer Grant Newsham warns India against China’s potential strategic maneuvers, suggesting an unexpected attack beyond Taiwan, possibly on India. He emphasizes China's deceptive public relations and advises vigilance, citing recent tensions in Galwan as a reminder of China's unpredictable tactics and intentions.

A former US Marine intelligence officer, Grant Newsham, has issued a stark warning to India, suggesting that China's strategic ambitions might extend far beyond the current focus on Taiwan. His caution comes in light of a US Pentagon report highlighting China's long-term goal of national rejuvenation by 2049.

In an interview with ANI, Newsham expressed concerns that while global attention remains fixed on Taiwan, China might exploit this distraction to target another nation, potentially India. He urged India to remain vigilant, pointing to China's deceptive public relations tactics and President Xi Jinping's military reshuffles as indicators of possible ulterior motives.

Newsham underscored the importance of strategic foresight, advising nations to watch areas where the world's attention is lacking. His comments are timely, following the recent revelation that China's military, despite its lack of combat since the Vietnam era, still represents a formidable force.
