  2. manofsan 😧 I'm very sure you actually believe that, but did you know that blind nationalism is actually a mental health issue instead of it being based on fact's in any stretch of the imagination. You got lost on this channel, clicked it by accident probably or because of the before mentioned mental health issue, either way, you couldn't be more deluded if you tried. I'm neither here or there on China or India, I'll just stick to fact's and we'll known historical outcomes and those support that China has India by the short and curly's on economy, military and the global influence aka geopolitics game, it's already check mate, no rug pulling option, no any option,.....get it ?! You can either work to secure with global partners an interest for China to rise peacefully or you can get fatality mauled by the Chinese Dragon,....go for option one I'd say.

  3. The 99 year lease of "Harbour city"⬅(still being build) infront of Colombo Sri Lanka to China will be a blow to India's strategic interest. It's function will be a free trade zone and the Chinese are building a new Harbour and a city on reclaimed land there. It's estimated that the small city will house 40.000 to 60.000 Chinese there permanently including facilities for the Chinese blue water Navy and some Army elements. The Indian attempt at keeping Sri-lankans in their influence bubble has therefore already failed and it gives China a de facto military/civilian colony right on its tip. The reality now on the ground (or water) is, that China can literally circumvent India and patrol close to the Indian waters as it's string of pearls grows ever longer.

  4. manofsan You can reverse that idea too,...Sri Lanka is an unsinkable aircraft carrier infront of India and can therefore be used by China that way. It's in the perfect position to block India from doing anything without an ever looming Chinese presence infront of its doorstep, like you said, Sri Lanka at the tip of the Indian subcontinent sits perfectly in the Indian ocean. China has you check mate , in many regards. I think China did this because of the very vague position India played towards both China and the USA, hoping to capitalise on that ambiguous position and enhance its power, China's move has effectively blocked any attempt on India's part to either play a power role from such a position and from being a threat to the Chinese lines of communications and trade aka the string of pearls. Going around China via Pakistan has secured there Belt&road option too, that together with the Spratly Islands (unsinkable aircraft carrier's) and their reproach moi with the Philippines that was China setting India⬅ (not only India of course) check. The battle is won or lost before the fighting starts, China's moves were quick and decisive, bold and well thought out, it even has the seal of approval of Xi Jingping himself, i don't think he's lost face there, infact quite the opposite of that, it was a brilliant move and can't blame the Chinese for doing so, it was/is too important not to do, beg's the question:"why did it take India so long to see this", well because of indecisiveness on their part. While India was still trying to play a power role there and the powers that be in India still have their factions with their own preferences and agenda's, China moves quick and with one very clear goal, decent is not nurtured there, neither is standing in the way of the country's leading interest, that together with an habitually careful longterm planning in all of China's moves made this possible, India is a long way away from this, so is the USA. In 2021 China will celebrate its 100th year of communist rule, they intend to be the world's largest economy by then and 6.5% growth is definitely not 7.5% growth but it's both enough to reach its goal and it's more growth then any of us have. Yesterday the Chinese Premiere was very clear, China is going to reorganise it's economy to promote more domestic growth of its own internal market, it's a clear sign that it wil move to being the biggest producer/exporter market in the world and biggest economy on this entire planet, think of what an army they can build and a power base they'll have because of this,....it's mind blowing really and already too late to stop. Only thing we can hope and work for is the rise of a peaceful China, the other option is just you having a brain fart.

  6. Himanshu Gogoi Of course it can, but I said: "fatality mauled", India does not have that capability but vice versa is a whole different story. It will not be in China's interest and definitely not in India's either, in no way can she hope to gain anything from it but total destruction. There's an realistic option too you know, do business, make good agreements, get Diplomats and diplomacy involved, keep the populist politicians and deluded nationalistic hawks far away from any interaction between China and India and the world will win. Yes, China will push and do so gradually, react diplomatically on that and be realistic, no India isn't the big boy on the block or an Superpower like China, adjust accordingly and carefully.
