🇨🇳 detains Arunachal woman 18 hrs, calls her 🇮🇳 passport fake.
Trump hits 🇮🇳 with 50% tariffs for 🇷🇺 oil --China buys double & pays nothing extra.

I'm glad Zohran Mamdani won because socialism should resurface every few decades or so as a grim idea, ensuring every generation knows what a terrible idea it is.
