Maybe you're right, but I've just been quoting the BBC report.
The Western and Indian press are definitely in the "demonize China" camp. In a crisis era, press rumors matter as much or more than the truth. The sides are certainly taking form and they are aligning as you predicted so far.
The big question marks are still Europe and Russia. I don't think they will be on the same side.
