Now that there’s an established Chinese hand behind the #Hindenburg hatchet job on the Adani group it behoves #GOI to probe the linkages between the loudest political voices that pre & post the publication of the Hindenburg report savaged the govt for its “crony capitalism.”
The hit job on the Adani group was Chinese vengeance for losing out on strategic mining and infrastructure project bids, one of the most crucial of which was the bid for the Israeli port of #Haifa.
Shockingly some Indian politicians seemed deeply aggrieved by Adanis Haifa port success- a strategic acquisition key to the viability of IMEC- an economic corridor of India, the #MiddleEast & #Europe meant to compete with and improve upon Chinas #BRI.
This wilful support for a hostile nations debt trap initiative at the cost of the IMEC initiative cannot but lead to a strong inference that a part of our political class is bent upon aligning itself with Chinese strategic interests.
Add to this the colossal loss to retail investors by an influential and wealthy Chinese American mired in espionage controversy for the Chinese State in the US and the case for an investigation into Chinas flag bearers in India is compelling.
