Anyone surprised to hear a MiG pilot jerking himself off about the theoretical greatness of his bird? In real life they're good for one or two things, defecting to enemy bases and getting shot down before their radar picks up the aggressor.

Nalanda holds a special place in the hearts of the Chinese. Many of our most renowned scholars of Dynastic periods studied there and contributed to spread of Buddhist thought and culture throughout China and East Asia. It's an Asian Cultural Treasure and should have nothing to do with petty...

Western interests fueling delusions of grandeur to give Chinese Hawks and Militarists a reason to derail their peaceful economic rise. That's what they fear the most the PRC's growing economic power. Only way to derail that is to cause a conflict. PLA(N)(AF) is nowhere near superpower levels...

Re-militarization of Japan would signal the first shot across the bow by the US against the PRC. I don't see how our other Asian brothers who've experienced the wrath of Japanese militarism would tolerate it even under a US security umbrella. If the leash was taken of Japan they would in a...

I kind of agree. The CCP should have ignored it but instead acted like a pubescent teen with serious case of PMS. Nobel has lost a lot of cachet over the years and the CCP overreacted and made Xiaobo even more of 'human rights' icon.

You realize you self defeat the point your trying to make by highlighting this and making it appear as crass tokenism. If you're a secular and religion averse force, that why do you care what your critics think? Insecurity? He's just another patriot of your nation, what does it matter what his...

Pyrrhic Victory or worse. Just being frank.

Getting back to the big picture. Any nuclear exchange in South Asia even under the delusion of them being limited to "tactical" strikes will spiral out of control. I just can't imagine it remaining localized. Once you let the Nuclear Genie out in the end everyone loses. And once the dominoes...

Arabs tend to have a very misplaced sense of racial superiority from my own personal experience. They treat East Asians with derision and sometimes disgust and it's not surprising they do the same with South Asians.

The Elite Photoshop Corps strikes again. Edit: NVM, seems legit. China's Armed Predator It's a little too much of a predator ripoff for my taste.

Nothing but mutual benefit. Can't go wrong with that.

Source? I find these assertions highly suspect. Let me guess...Are these the purported blueprints that Wen Ho Lee faxed down to the Chinese warhead designers? Most modern ICBM by default should have these countermeasures installed given the current BMD systems deployed. It is nothing...

I didn't mind their former PM. A very pragmatic guy. The vibe I get from their uber-nationalists who're tend to be racist is mostly paranoia related to fears of Indonesian Lebensraum with a sprinkle of sino/indo-phobia here and there.

Pakistan is a means to an end.

NAM is and always was a joke. India remained on the sidelines of history while much of geopoliticking of latter 20th century passed them by. Illusions of having an "independent" foreign policy while being a defacto Soviet satellite state with a mutual defense treaty is just one of the many...

Exactly. I'd rather have an Asian country(excluding Japan) on the UNSC before another European one. One must realize the Chinese are very pragmatic power and emotion rarely plays into Chinese geopolitics. India's paranoia about China is in part fueled by its bombastic Media, inferiority complex...

Western bankers would in no time trigger WWIII if they see any possibility in this happening. However, IMO it's just a matter of time. What's inevitable can't be stopped.

Good gesture. Machines that help life instead of ending it should always be welcomed.

It is wise to have a exclusive solution for the Asian region but redundant to invest in a global one. If the Russians are willing to open up GLONASS China could augment it and together create a robust rival to the American GPS. Having 3 competing non interoperable platforms including a possible...
