Since India’s primary foe is China, and China decided to back the Palestinians, this is an interesting turn of events.
I doubt the statement took into account anything about China’s stance, but this does continue to slowly move India away from the Axis of Evil.
India has a lot to do with Chinese foreign policy. India could very easily blockade China’s oil supplies. Either by cutting the pipelines or putting a couple of torpedo boats along the sea lanes. If India decides to back Taiwan it’s really really bad news for China. There is absolutely no love lost between the two.
