Congrats to India.
Now that someone has done the tough work of fortune-telling. here comes the easy part---turning it into reality. A piece of cake, isn't it?
China indeed missed a great opportunity to teach India another lesson. It was a diplomatic blunder letting India off so easily. Chinese diplomatic circle has been the target of ridicule among Chinese netizens for years.
Great point. China needs to come out with a clear statement on the matter. The ambiguity in Chinese spokeswoman's reply leaves too much wiggle room for Indian media to play around. One thing to note is that all the hoopla comes from the Indian chattering class rather than the Indian government.
The time and effort that you put into the piece will definitely go to waste. Indians are best left ignored. Indian delusion starts from the very top and then percolates down to the bottom of the society. It's their national pasttime.
Everything on display is available for export. Given the long history of all around cooperation between China and Pakistan, there is absolutely no problem at all.
Leave Indian keyboard warriors alone. Verbal sparring serves no purpose at all. Every indication points to an imminent military confrontation. Lets' wait for the show to begin.
I am with you here. Either take military action or just shut up. The stand-off has gone long enough and the difference between India and China is irreconcilable.
Actually India has walked into a trap of its own making. China has no obligation to help Modi and his advisors out with a face-saving exit. India created the mess in the first place. Cleaning it up is going to be difficult. The whole thing is coming to a head soon, if India refuses to withdraw...
"conscientiously withdraw" is not an apt translation of what the Chinese foreign minister said. The Chinese original is 乖乖的撤退. It has a dismissive tone, something akin to "no ifs and buts, withdraw."
Not really. That's what India wants. China can't afford to let it happen. Indian troops have to kicked out one way to other, militarily if necessarily. From the get-go China has maintained that Indian forces invaded into Chinese territory. India has to be disciplined from time to time. Or else...
