In this episode of The Restricted Handling Podcast, we’re diving deep into the latest geopolitical moves involving China, Russia, and India. With a U.S. tariff war shaking things up, India’s Prime Minister Modi is making some bold decisions, re-aligning his country’s economic focus with none other than China. Meanwhile, China's naval power is surging ahead, outpacing the U.S. in warship count, while new military tech, including hypersonic missiles and stealth drones, is on full display. This is not your typical diplomatic handshake—this is a high-stakes game of global power dynamics that’s got major implications for the future of international relations. First up, we break down the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit where Modi, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin are laying the groundwork for a new global order. With Trump’s escalating tariffs driving a wedge between the U.S. and its allies, India’s strategic pivot to China is looking more like a business necessity than a political choice. But don’t expect this to be an easy friendship—India’s still got that pesky border dispute with China to deal with. Could this mark the beginning of a new chapter in India-China relations? You’ll want to hear our take. Then, it’s all about China’s rising naval power. With over 230 warships now in its fleet, China’s rapidly catching up to the U.S. in naval supremacy. This is more than just numbers—it’s about sheer strategic muscle. We’re talking anti-ship missiles, hypersonic tech, and a growing global presence that’s got the U.S. Navy scrambling. China’s proving it’s not just playing defense anymore—it’s calling the shots in the Pacific. And if you think the U.S. is sitting pretty, think again. But wait, there's more! As if that wasn’t enough, China's gearing up for a massive military parade on September 3rd, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in WWII. This isn’t your grandma’s parade—it’s a show of force featuring cutting-edge weapons like hypersonic missiles, stealth drones, and next-gen ICBMs. The big takeaway? China’s military is no longer just a regional threat; it's becoming a serious global contender. The parade’s going to send a powerful message to the West—don’t underestimate us. Oh, and let’s not forget about North Korea. Kim Jong Un’s joining Xi and Putin in Beijing for the parade, strengthening their already tight-knit alliance. The leader of the Hermit Kingdom rarely steps out, but when he does, it’s usually to get in front of the cameras—and maybe talk some shop with Xi and Putin on how to handle their mutual “friend” in Washington. So, buckle up and tune in for this high-energy, fast-paced episode of The Restricted Handling Podcast as we unpack China’s strategic moves, military might, and the evolving international power structure. This is one episode you don’t want to miss!
