Perhaps the old pre-Modi India would have had much of the Bandung Conference 3rd world movement pulling for it, but if there needs to be another seat for Asia on the UN, it would be Indonesia that now would probably pull more votes. India's principle is India 1st and everyone else is a tool, but Indonesia at least offers the Muslim world a voice, the island nations a voice, something they know they won't get from a South American PM, and very (edit: unlikely) to come from an African member.
Good luck to him running with that, then, because he's got a good head-start on the Americans, those devout followers of shooting themselves in the foots, and should take advantage of it to mix his metaphors and make hay while the sun shines! Just don't spit it out where the Americans could use it to plug holes in their feet or gum up the hay drying, because they do things like that, you know? That's the problem with mixed metaphors?!
I have often thought that China supporting India into a permanent seat at the security council in return for a permanent and final border settlement would be an excellent deal for all involved. This of course would require a final settlement of the Pakistan-India border as well.
What should be an excellent defensive wall is now a hugely expensive liability with billions of dollars wasted and hundreds of men freezing to death for territory that is, at best, only suitable for a little grass and a few goats.
All China needs to do is insist that an India UNSC seat be linked to the French and British seats being replaced by an EU seat (which is a quite reasonable demand.) That should keep things tied up for a long time if not forever.
Belt and Road Initiative was blown out of portion for many reasons. IMHO, there is only one reason: to cover up the act of luring Russia back to be PRC's partner while expanding global trade routes. If he won the gamble, China thought it could quickly reach a status to be on equal terms with the US. If all failed, the communication into Central Asia and Russia would be great improved. Along the way were also heavy investments into northwestern China and Xinjiang, but mostly for military purposes.
For people who got awed and shocked by China's quick rise, it was very likely to think Chinese are coming to take over everything. The truth is having a rifle does not make a man a soldier, and having a boat with missiles and radars does not make it a Navy. Russian Army, Uk/US Navy, etc. all have long and glorious history and institutional memory. PLA's best achievement was to defeat the Nationalist government forces after 8 years war against Japan during which PLA contributed very little. Human waves attacking hilltop outposts in Korea. But, even people who grew up in mainland China don't always understand the full truth of China's rise. A significant portion of modern Chinese youth really believed PLA kicked American ass in Korea and USA is a paper-tiger.
In any case, India has sufficient weight on its own to become one of the pillar in the new multipolar world. India, however, would have to do many things right for maybe ten years to seal its position as the third pillar. As for the China-India border war? It is just a tool used by PLA starting from Mao, and Xi is a loyal follower of Mao deep in his heart. South China Sea is a more important theater as real natural resources and geopolitical choke points are at risk. As for Indonesia, it is a rising nation. However, the domestic situation in Indonesia is far from satisfactory for the ordinary folks and many have to go overseas as migrant workers to send money home. If Indonesia gets an outstanding leader, maybe the role I deemed for India to play alone can be played by multiple countries together. After all, it is a multipolar world.
The excess deaths in India following the rollout of the Covid injections AKA vaccinations 2021 to date are known. But not for China. Both developed their own version of the poison death shot which has currently led to ca. 17m global deaths, source Dr.. Denis Rancourt.
It is thus as regrettable as it is bizarre that geopolitics men like Mr Korybko or Mr John Helmer or Prof Mearsheimer write in 2024 using the same classical approaches as were sufficient in 2014 or 1994 or 1904. Or 1804. Mahan, McKinder and so on.
So they do not seemingly recognise let alone use the terms: 4th Industrial Revolution. Great Reset, New World Order. And what they all imply for International Relations.
The only social scientist writing in English who appears to comprehend, and thus link geopolitics to IT and synthetic biology is David A. Hughes, here on Substack.
But then he knows what the acronym IEEE means, and who Prof Ian Alkidiz is and why it is important, what nanotechnology is, and what the Global Information Grid involves.
What are you talking about? COVID has nothing to do with this. India and China were rivals long before that happened. What, are you one of those conspiracy theorists who think that they're just faking it or whatever? lol Amuse me by elaborating on your ideas!
I troll my trolls back for amusement and have been doing it for the past two years on X, usually spending around an hour on each because it's literally my favorite hobby, so let me humiliate you by showing you where I wrote in detail about the Great Reset:
I'll never understand why my trolls lie about my work, but I suspect that it's due to a deep feeling of jealousy combined with them getting triggered by one of my analyses that they disagreed with some time ago lol
"So they do not seemingly recognise let alone use the terms: 4th Industrial Revolution. Great Reset, New World Order. And what they all imply for International Relations."
And then being shown where I analyzed these concepts in detail lol
No wonder you all troll anonymously, nobody with a shred of self-respect would ever lie like that under their own name lol
Don't disappoint me, tell me how this makes me feel, in detail, using the harshest language that you can lol I love triggering my trolls after trolling them back so amuse me unless you're too scared and feel too humiliated lol
And there are many, many more, but this should suffice for maximizing your humiliation lol
Now complete the self-humiliation ritual that you began by telling me that I hacked into Internet Archive and those other sites to add all of those analyses that I supposedly just wrote now in the span of several minutes lol
Come on, you know you wanna, and your ego prevents you from admitting that you flat-out lied about me lol
A possible alternative interpretation - or maybe just a supplementary point: many “realists” in the West like John Mearsheimer justify US efforts to contain China by claiming it aspires to hegemony in Asia. If Jaishankar is aware of that, it’s possible he’s implying that the path to multipolarity in the world requires China to preemptively accept multipolarity in Asia to undermine the strategic rationale of containment and, thereby, the coalition the US can muster to abort global multipolarity.
I think this is compatible with your analysis, but it places Jaishankar’s emphasis on a constructive path to global multipolarity rather than implied obstacles from China or the golden billion.

Who on earth thinks that the US would a deal,much less stick to it?
"...“can chew gum and walk at the same time”..."

No comment.
