Its like 2 gangs having an overlapping area that they both claim. The tacit agreement to maintain balance is that both are patrolling inside this area yet none should build a permanent base let alone several bases inside the area - like what China and India did in the past decades. So the peace was maintained.
The difference was:
when Indian army patrolled this region, China has always kept quiet and Chinese media has never reported that Indians are intruding into the Chinese territories;
whereas when Chinese patrolled this same region, however, Indian media have ALWAYS reported for years that Chinese troops are invading India
for over 600 times, etc
There is no such a thing as invading India, because the region is disputed in the first place, god darn it!!
Is that 82 IQ so low for this kind of basic understanding?
Elements of sneaky Indian army started itching for 1962-type forward policy in May, 2008 (when China was busy at pre-Olympics) , when India first broke this tacit agreement by installing several permanent structure military bases INSIDE this area!
When the sneaky India saw China kept quiet about it, it started building another permanent structure, a military runway INSIDE this area again, during 2008 summer when China was busy at the Olympics, and landed the first Indian fixed wing military aircraft on this runway in Nov 2008!
Since then India repeatedly and periodically landed il-76 military transporters on it and started to build another permanent structure INSIDE this area recently.
This time:
Make no mistakes here, India have been provoking for 4 f@$%king years now. It's India who acted first to destroy the staue quo. Chinas protest by erecting some temporary tents to make a point this time is very reasonable.
Yet at the same time its the drama queen Indian media that cry foes pretending to be the victims, making endless false claims all over the world this time when sneaky India thinks that perhaps it can steal some goodies ( exactly like what they did in 1962!), also claiming the false moral high ground, when China is distracted from their disputes with Japan on the East and Filips on the South
3 fair observations here:
1. Provocative Indian army and media are god darn sneaky and cunny, and act very very LOW
just like 1962. No surprise though knowing how many Indians act in this way in the West
2. Chinas response is reactive and quite measured
3. it almost looks like an exact carbon copy of 1962 forward policy... we all know what happened and will happen, you f@#k with China, PLA will f@#k you.
