In India, the protests genuinely seem to be motivated by the citizenship and immigration laws – or rather, a misunderstanding thereof. That did not stop the issue from being quickly weaponized, both by Indian politicians and neighboring countries that have conflicts with New Delhi. However, and somewhat crucially, the one player who has so far refrained from getting involved is Washington.

Oh sure, the US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has condemned “religious violence” in India and called for PM Narendra Modi to “stop use of force on those exercising right to express concern” about the new laws – but the State Department has so far not followed the lead of its attack dog. In fact, by keeping Pakistan on the “naughty” list of countries concerning religious freedom, Foggy Bottom managed to get India and Pakistan to actually agree on something: condemning the US for meddling in their internal affairs.

Yet such meddling can’t hold a candle to the “Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy” Act which the US Congress adopted – and President Donald Trump signed – at the beginning of December. If the Indian laws are truly as awful as the mainstream media says, don’t they warrant something similar?

While Huawei reacted with jubilation to the Indian government’s decision not to exclude it from the country’s upcoming 5G trials, New Delhi is undecided as to whether the embattled Chinese firm will be allowed in the final roll-out – and is more concerned with keeping Beijing onside for now.
An official with the Indian telecommunications ministry,said the government had not made a final decision and Huawei was only permitted to participate in the trials as New Delhi did not want to antagonise Beijing.

“看来是硬着陆了”。印度太空和研究组织（ISRO）负责人西万（K Sivan）幽幽的叹了口气说。

印度“月船2号”探测器所携带的着陆器9月7日在月球南极试图软着陆时与控制中心失去联系后，ISRO一直在努力寻找着陆器的下落，试图重新恢复联系。

72小时后，印度登月探测行动的环月轨道器上的多架照相机终于锁定了着陆器坠落的确切地点。

印度“月船2号”项目总耗资约1.4亿美元，探测器重达3850千克，包括轨道器、着陆器和月球车3个模块，携带了10多个各类研究装置。如果按照计划成功实现软着陆，印度将成为继俄罗斯、美国以及中国之后第四个登陆月球的国家。

9月9日找到了坠落的着陆器后，印度国家航天局的官员表示，正在试图重新与着陆器取得联系。

无论ISRO科学家的努力是否凑效，对于月球来说，人类又在它那里留下了最新的一堆废铜烂铁。
