India originally wanted to keep a balance between the United States and other countries, but now it is getting closer and closer to the United States, and the United States still thinks that is not enough.

zuì jìn最近měi guó美国zhàn lüè战略zhòng diǎn重点gèngduōfàng huí放回tài píng yáng太平洋yìn dù yáng印度洋dezhòng yào xìng重要性xià jiàng下降

Recently, the United States has shifted more of its strategic focus back to the Pacific, and the importance of the Indian Ocean has declined.

This shows that in the eyes of the United States, India is not the most important partner; the United States cares more about China, Pakistan, and security in the Pacific region.

kě shì可是yìn dù印度hái shì还是jì xù继续pèi hé配合měi guó美国

But India still continues to cooperate with the United States.

The United States asked India to buy less cheap Russian oil, and India did so; later, the United States agreed that India could buy it again.

The United States also imposed very high tariffs on Indian goods, but India agreed to invest a lot of money in the United States over the next few years.

yǐ qián以前yìn dù印度yīn wèi因为měi guó美国yā lì压力jiǎn shǎo减少leyī lǎng伊朗dezhòng yào重要hé zuò合作

In the past, India also reduced important cooperation with Iran because of pressure from the United States.

At the same time, the United States strengthened its relationship with Pakistan and regarded Pakistan as an important partner in its Middle East and Central Asia policies.

zhè yàng yī lái这样一来yìn dù印度xiǎngtōng guò通过kào jìn靠近měi guó美国láidé dào得到gèngduōzhī chí支持dànjié guǒ结果bìnglǐ xiǎng理想

In this way, India hoped to gain more support by moving closer to the United States, but the result was not ideal.

yìn dù印度yī biān一边fù chū付出hěn duō很多yī biān一边dé dào得到dehuí bào回报quèhěn shǎo很少zhèràngyì zhí一直qiáng diào强调dedú lì独立wài jiāo外交kàn qǐ lái看起来yuè lái yuè越来越nánshí xiàn实现

India is making many sacrifices but receiving very little in return, which also makes its long-emphasized “independent diplomacy” seem increasingly difficult to achieve.
