Former Tibetan Government President Dr Lobsang Sangay warns India against China's "elite capture" strategy in explosive NDTV interview. He alleges Chinese Embassy in Delhi actively influences Indian politicians, citing National Day celebrations attended by politicians and business leaders. Sangay claims China uses ancient co-option tactics, buying leaders, intellectuals, journalists, and YouTubers across South Asia. He points to Nepal's pro-China parties, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives regimes as examples. Warning extends globally, citing European ministers receiving lucrative Chinese company positions after praising Beijing. Sangay highlights India's dangerous $99 billion trade deficit with China and warns against repeating Western mistakes of believing trade democratizes China.
