Interviews

Howard Lutnick says India will eventually “come back to the table” just like Canada. But here’s the truth: India is not Canada. It never was. It never will be. Succumbing to Washington pressure is not an option? In this GVS Deep Dive, we break down why comparing India and Canada is like comparing fire to ice. It’s India sovereignty vs Canada dependence. From history and trade, to alliances, leadership, and the future — we show why Washington still struggles to understand India’s path, and why New Delhi refuses to bow to U.S. power the way Ottawa does. BRICS vs NATO, SCO, Quad, multipolar world all define the tensions between the two countries. It’s U.S. decline vs Asia rising! Along the way, we also explore the other side of the argument: why Lutnick believes India could still bend under pressure — and why that outcome would be strategic compromise, not surrender. 👉 Watch until the end for the full picture of why India’s choices matter for the multipolar world.

Will India Bow Like Canada to U.S. Power?
Gold and silver aren’t rising because of inflation — they’re rising because the world no longer trusts America. From Trump’s push to rename the Pentagon as the “Department of War,” to weak U.S. job numbers, Fed infighting, and global pushback from India, Japan, and China — the signs of American decline are everywhere. India defies U.S. tariffs by doubling down on Russian oil. Japan extracts long-denied concessions. And China hosts its largest military parade in years with Putin and Kim Jong Un at Xi Jinping’s side. Meanwhile, the SCO expands, multipolarity takes root, and precious metals surge as a barometer of fading trust in the dollar. 👉 In this GVS Deep Dive, we connect the economy, the symbols, and the psychology of decline to show why Washington blinked, Beijing projected confidence, and the world noticed.

India Defies, China Shines, America Blinks: The New Global Order
Renaming Department of Defense into the Department of War is Trump’s Response to China’s Parade of Power! On September 3, 2025, China marked the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan with a spectacular Victory Day parade in Beijing. This year’s parade carried extraordinary symbolism. President Xi Jinping sat alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian, joined by leaders from across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The message was clear: China is not only commemorating history — it is shaping the future of a multipolar world order. Highlights include: ✅ Cutting-edge military technology: hypersonic missiles, drones, cyberwarfare systems, and carrier-based aircraft. ✅ Diplomatic theater: 26 foreign leaders in attendance, representing the Global South. ✅ Strategic messaging: China showing it is a superpower ready today, not just preparing for tomorrow. ✅ Contrast: while China projected strength, the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade earlier this year was described as “underwhelming”, with protests, rain, and poor turnout.

China's Global Military Expansion Weapons Sales & Geopolitics
There’s a tectonic shift happening in global power — and this time, it’s not coming from Washington or Brussels. It’s coming from Asia. At the SCO Summit in Tianjin, the leaders of India, China, and Russia have gathered to send a powerful message to the world: The Global South doesn’t need the West to define its future anymore. ▶ Narendra Modi meets Xi Jinping for the first time in over 7 years ▶ Vladimir Putin affirms strategic alignment with Beijing ▶ Iran joins as a full SCO member, signaling a stronger post-West alliance ▶ Trump’s tariffs and threats push India closer to Asia ▶ And the Quad looks shakier than ever. We break down: Why Modi is back in China despite the Galwan clashes How Trump’s pressure on India backfired What this summit means for BRICS, SCO, and U.S. global influence The return of the Dragon-Elephant Tango The future of a multipolar world 📊 The numbers. 🧠 The strategy. 💥 The global implications.

India, China & Russia Just Sent a Clear Message: We Don’t Need the West | Anti-Trump Summit
#DesignerBabies #ChinaVsUSA #Geopolitics #GVSDeepDive #Eugenics Silicon Valley isn’t just building smarter machines — it’s trying to build smarter babies. From embryo editing start-ups in San Francisco charging $50,000 for “IQ screening,” to China’s state-backed BGI mapping DNA at a scale no Western lab can match — the race to shape the next generation has already begun. This isn’t just science. It’s geopolitics. The U.S. frames genetic technology as consumer choice for wealthy elites. China frames it as national health and “high-quality births.” Both see demographics as a foundation of power. And just like AI, semiconductors, and rare earths — gene technology is becoming the next great strategic arms race. In this episode of GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas explores: Silicon Valley’s push for “genetic optimization” and embryo IQ testing How India and China’s past with ultrasound technology reshaped demographics Elon Musk’s warnings about “population collapse” and the politics of who should have children Trump’s new “baby accounts” policy to boost U.S. birth rates The dark history of eugenics in America and Europe — and its 21st-century revival Why U.S.–China rivalry over biotech could determine who sets the rules for humanity’s future 👉 Watch till the end to see why the Cold War of the 21st century may not be about AI or missiles… but DNA.

The New Weapon in U.S.–China Rivalry!
China Arms Its Friends: The Defense Silk Road Begins For decades, China avoided becoming a hard security supplier like the U.S. or Russia. But 2025 has changed the game. Beijing is now openly signaling it will share its “military equipment achievements” with friendly countries — and we’re already seeing the impact. Iran has received China’s advanced HQ-9B air defense systems, with reports of deeper cooperation on surface-to-surface missiles. Algeria and Egypt are shifting their arsenals toward Chinese hardware, while Pakistan already operates the J-10CE and is fully integrated into Beijing’s defense ecosystem. This episode of GVS Deep Dive connects the dots: Why China is changing its arms export policy now How the Iran–Israel war accelerated the shift The rise of a Defense Silk Road — from the Middle East to Africa and beyond Why Israel and Washington are alarmed — and what this means for the global balance of power For 70 years, the U.S. built alliances with jets and missiles. Today, China is building its own network — one arms deal at a time. 👉 What do you think? Is this China’s smartest strategic move, or is it risking future entanglements?

China Arms Its Friends: The Defense Silk Road Begins
While Western leaders gathered in Washington to discuss Ukraine, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi landed in New Delhi for the first high-level visit in over three years — a meeting that could reshape Asia’s balance of power. India today faces a high-wire geopolitical crisis: Trump’s tariffs have humiliated New Delhi, raising duties on Indian goods to 50%. U.S. trade talks are collapsing as Trump calls India the “Tariff King.” BRICS and SCO partners are frustrated with India’s refusal to back de-dollarisation or expansion. Meanwhile, India’s automakers are reeling from China’s rare earth export curbs, and policymakers are being forced to rethink their strategy. 👉 So why does Modi now NEED China more than ever? 👉 Can India mend ties with Beijing before the SCO summit? 👉 And how has Trump’s transactional foreign policy backfired on India’s dream of being a pole in Asia? In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas unpacks: The key points of India–China border talks (troop reduction, patrols, flights, and trade). Peter Navarro’s scathing FT op-ed attacking India’s Russian oil purchases. Trump’s threats to Apple, H1B visas, and Indian outsourcing. Why BRICS unity is rising while India looks increasingly isolated. 📺 Watch until the end to see how India’s gamble with Washington has left it cornered — and why Xi Jinping may now hold Modi’s future in his hands.

Why Modi NEEDS China More Than Ever
The long-awaited Trump–Putin summit in Alaska has ended — and it was nothing short of a disaster for Donald Trump. Despite red-carpet treatment, symbolic gestures, and Trump’s hopes for a breakthrough, the talks produced no ceasefire, no sanctions deal, and no territorial compromise. Instead, Vladimir Putin walked away with the optics and the propaganda win. He even endorsed Trump’s favorite campaign claim: that if Trump had been president in 2022, the Russia–Ukraine war would never have happened. In this video, we break down: Why the Alaska summit ended in failure How Putin used the stage to reset his global image European and Ukrainian backlash to Trump’s unilateral diplomacy The history of Trump–Putin meetings from Helsinki 2018 to today Why Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize ambitions may now be at risk For Trump, the outcome was disappointment.

Putin Just DESTROYED Trump in Alaska – Here’s What Really Happened
Washington is rewriting the rules of global trade. Reports from the New York Times, WSJ, and Financial Times say the Trump administration is pressuring Nvidia and AMD to hand over 15% of their AI chip sales to China — directly to the U.S. government — in exchange for export licenses. This unprecedented move could net billions for Washington, but it’s also shaking investor confidence, angering U.S. allies, and accelerating China’s drive for chip independence. Intel’s CEO is now in the crosshairs, Japanese steel is under a “golden share,” and even patents are being targeted. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas connects the dots between AI chips, steel, and intellectual property — revealing how the U.S. is turning its choke-point control over critical industries into a tool for cash, control, and geopolitical leverage.

Highway Robbery: Trump Demands Cut on AI Chip Sales to China
The global AI race just hit a turning point. At this week’s APEC summit in South Korea, the U.S. and China pitched two very different futures for artificial intelligence. While America pushes profit-driven, closed AI systems, China is offering open-source models, free deployment, and infrastructure support.

China LEADS in AI Future: U.S. Falls BEHIND in Asia’s Digital Race
Trump just hit India with a 25% tariff and warned of additional penalties over its ties with Russia. Is this the start of a new trade war—or just another Trump bluff? In this episode, I break down: 🔹 What Trump’s tariff really means for the U.S.–India relationship 🔹 Why India’s continued Russian oil and arms imports triggered this backlash 🔹 How Apple, BRICS, and Pakistan factor into Trump’s pressure strategy 🔹 The stalled Mission 500 trade talks and Modi’s miscalculation 🔹 What’s next: Is Trump looking for a deal—or breaking the alliance? Trump’s tariffs are part of his wider “Liberation Day” doctrine targeting countries with trade surpluses and ties to America’s rivals. India is now caught between Washington and Moscow—and the consequences could reshape global manufacturing, tech, and diplomacy. ▶️ Watch now to understand what’s really behind the 25% tariff—and whether India can hold the line.

Trump Hits India Over Russia Ties: Bluff, Penalty, or New Trade War?
Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize? It’s not satire—it’s real. Betting markets like Oddspedia now give Trump nearly a 28% chance, placing him ahead of Greta Thunberg, Zelenskyy, and UN diplomats. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas breaks down: – Trump’s ceasefires in Congo, Thailand–Cambodia, and the Middle East – The politics behind the Nobel Prize – What past winners like Obama, Kissinger, and Arafat reveal about the prize’s credibility – Why Pakistan and Israel nominated him – And Trump’s own words: “I won’t get it.

Why Trump Could Actually Win a Nobel Peace Prize
Twelve days of war between Iran and Israel ended in a shaky ceasefire—but beneath the surface, a far more strategic shift may be underway. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas unpacks reports that Iran has acquired China’s long-range HQ‑9B surface-to-air missile systems through an oil-for-weapons deal. Why did Tehran choose SAMs over fighter jets? How does this change the regional balance of power? And what does it signal about China’s quiet rise as a weapons supplier in the Middle East? We break down: Why the J-10C fighter rumors were false What the HQ-9B system really does—and why it matters How the 2025 Israel-Iran war exposed gaps in Iran’s air defense The shift from Russian to Chinese military hardware U.S. missile shortages and the global Patriot crisis What it means for NATO, BRICS, and the post-West military order 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave your thoughts below.

Iran’s Secret Missile Deal with China: HQ-9B to Counter Israel’s Air Power?
In April 2025, the U.S. imposed a 145% tariff on China—only to watch Beijing strike back with rare-earth export controls that stunned global markets. But is China’s rare-earth dominance as unshakable as it seems? In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas unpacks whether China is overplaying its strongest card—and if the 2025 crackdown is repeating the same strategic mistake it made in 2010 with Japan. We break down the Pentagon’s billion-dollar MP Materials deal, the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act, and the quiet shift toward global rare-earth independence. From Deng Xiaoping’s 1992 warning—“The Middle East has oil, China has rare earths”—to modern-day semiconductor wars and industrial policy backlash, this episode explores the paradox of power: the more you use it, the faster it slips away. 🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth geopolitics and economic strategy 📺 Watch next: [previous chip export control video https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYBR8QN-idhSU68MrL8o3WbuXaHDLuQDp&si=feQV2DCBJXCV0gpB] 🧠 Full playlist on U.S.–China resource wars here → [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYBR8QN-idhR_nW2oIYyrBEGfv4L1f36T&si=O9ffZijuVbkUOpaw] #China #RareEarth #Geopolitics #GVSDeepDive #ChinaUSTrade #DengXiaoping #MPMaterials #ChipWar #IndustrialPolicy #BRICS Do give your comments below.

China’s Rare-Earth Trap: Has Beijing Overplayed Its Strongest Card?
This week, Nvidia just got the green light to sell its H20 chips to China — reversing a U.S. export ban that was enforced just months ago. Behind closed doors, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with President Trump. Days later, Washington made a quiet but massive U-turn. What happened? In this Deep Dive, we unpack the full story: → Why the H20 chip was banned — and why it’s back → How U.S. lawmakers are furious Nvidia praised China’s tech sector → What this means for Huawei, SMIC, and China’s AI self-reliance → How the Trump-UAE Nvidia chip deal ties in → And why Washington is afraid of China using these chips for military AI This isn’t just about business.

America’s AI Strategy Just Collapsed? Chip Ban Reversed!
The U.S. Congress has entered “Crypto Week” — but is it already too late? In this episode, we break down the explosive new crypto legislation making its way through Washington, including the GENIUS Act for stablecoins, the CLARITY Act for digital asset regulation, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. But more importantly, we explore the real reason behind this sudden urgency: China’s growing dominance in digital currency infrastructure. With the e-CNY (digital yuan) already used by over 260 million Chinese citizens and Project mBridge reshaping cross-border finance across Asia and the Middle East, is the U.S. finally waking up to a new financial world order? Trump, once hostile to crypto, has now flipped—branding himself the “Crypto President.” Behind the political drama lies a geopolitical power play: the digital dollar vs. the digital yuan. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are the new battleground, and Washington is scrambling to ensure the dollar remains the dominant force in global payments. Could China’s digital finance success force the U.S. into a defensive strategy built on stablecoins? Or is Washington’s crypto push too little, too late? 📊 We break down the numbers, history, and maps behind this global monetary shift — with key visuals and timelines. ——— Do give your comments below.

America’s Crypto Emergency: Why Washington Fears China’s Digital Yuan
Donald Trump just shocked global markets with a 50% tariff on copper imports — sending prices soaring and raising fears of a new trade war. But is this really about protecting U.S. industry… or is it a geopolitical gamble that could backfire? In this GVS Deep Dive, we unpack the full story: how copper became the latest weapon in the global fight for supply chain dominance — and why Trump’s push for total self-reliance may be pushing America further into isolation. With China already controlling over half of the world’s copper refining capacity, and BRICS nations expanding cooperation in Latin America and Africa, is this tariff actually strengthening the very alliances Trump claims to oppose? We break down: – Why copper matters: EVs, missiles, semiconductors, and the energy transition – Trump’s national security justification under Section 232 – The real supply chain: Chile, Peru, Canada, Mexico — all U.S. allies – How China and BRICS could benefit as copper flows shift away from the U.S. – The risks of inflation, manufacturing slowdowns, and strategic blowback – Why total self-reliance may sound strong, but can lead to geopolitical self-sabotage This isn’t just an economic decision — it’s the opening shot in what some are calling a “Critical Minerals Cold War.” And the consequences go far beyond copper. 📌 Watch until the end to understand how this move fits into a broader global realignment — from BRICS trade corridors to China’s refining dominance. 🔗 Related videos: Congo’s $2 trillion mineral fight, Iran-Beidou defection, U.S.-China trade war fallout.
