'Who Made US The Freedom Police?': American Embassy Map Targets India & China, Faces Fury | Vantage

The United States wants the world to believe it is a champion of freedom. But is America really in a position to lecture other countries? A controversial post by the US Embassy in Australia, featuring the 2025 State of Global Freedom map, has triggered a backlash online. The map classifies the United States and Australia as 'Free', India and Pakistan as 'Partly Free', and China and Russia as 'Not Free'. But the classifications raise uncomfortable questions. Is America defending universal values, or applying them selectively to serve its geopolitical interests? 00:00 - US Embassy's Global Freedom Map Sparks Outrage 01:12 - Unpacking the Freedom House Map & Classifications 02:02 - Netizens Slam US Over "Freedom" Lecture 02:47 - Incorrect Indian Map & Territorial Sovereignty 03:17 - World's Largest Democracy Labeled "Partly Free" 04:21 - The Irony of Flawed Country Comparisons 04:52 - A Look at America’s Domestic Realities 05:31 - Foreign Interventions and Europe’s Own Crises 06:19 - Why Freedom Isn’t America’s Property --- US Embassy | American Embassy Map | India | China | US India Relations | US China Relations | Freedom Police | American Foreign Policy | Diplomatic Row | India US Tensions | China US Tensions | Democracy Debate | Washington | Firstpost | Hem Saroya | Vantage #usembassy #india #china #usindiarelations #uschinarelations #americanforeignpolicy #diplomaticrow #freedom #democracy #geopolitics #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
