@Han Patriot
I am sure you must be proud of accomplishments of China in the recent past.
But, being an Indian [context - India being careful in not joining quad, despite china heavily arming Pak including giving them nuclear technology + latest actions and everything in between], I am very surprised at the confidence that you showed in your post.
Your post indicated that (a) it is in India's interest to have trade (with great trade imbalances) with china. (b) somehow India has to pay a cost (that it is not willing to take) to get away from chinese manufacturing and (c) China is (somehow) justified in it's latest actions.
a) If trade with china did not improve relations (basic assumption of Indian leaders), and China does what it feels on a given day / month / year, then what is it for India to continue to have such trade with China?
b) Have you known any historical precedent where countries *intending to keep adverse* relations keeping trade relations in tact? That too because the country that aggresses provides cheap goods that destroy employment opportunities.
As an Indian, I will feel very sad if India does not bring trade deficit to zero (or) cut off all trade with China in the next few years (at most 4 years).
PS#1: I am aware you are a normal chinese (like I am a normal Indian). Our views may not matter much. However, your confidence in your post was striking.
PS#2: After reading your post, I thought of writing this response. But did not. However, the following article bought back my thoughts. This article shows the ill-effects of globalization from a former pro-globalist economist (read the ill-effects of manufacturing shifting to China). Please read it in the larger context.
PS#3: Try to think like an Indian. We are indulging you, and but you still did what you want to do, killed 20 of our soldiers and non-chalantly expect us to be (sort of) happy about it, and act as if nothing has happened.
PS#4: The latest actions by Chinese are a definite loss of face for Modi. Modi personal prestige also took a beating (my opinion). I like Modi, and I am confident he has capacity to deal with this (but he will not *start* a kinetic war with China).
