Chinese bullying & threats will work with other smaller countries. China definitely has far bigger Military & weaponry than India. But it's more vulnerable in the provinces close to Vietnam, Philippines & Japan.
So for no reason, other than your thinking, Japan, Vietnam, and more will attack China? China has 60+ 056 and 054 active right now, and an air force bigger than vietnam just in Yunnan, but they will act. Why? And to what end.
Japan & Vietnam poses major threat to China than India. Having US carriers & Thaad Defence already installed in S Korea & Japan & US has bases all around the area including Philippines & Taiwan China is in a jaws of death & dicey situation. China is in a powerless situation, that's reason it's fast trying to complete the artificial islands so as to install missiles & armaments for second strike & CPEC for substitute route.
where can't chinese missiles reach already?These islands are purely for show.
Now the US will take on China now. Again, why? What couldn't the US do without India, that it needs to wait for India.
Chinese Key Economic Hub, Special Economic Zone & Economic & Technical Development Zone is all in the green Han Core area. China can only move just around 30% of its forces to Indian border at times of war, since it has threats from all sides & with in. It has to keep its forces even at Russian border. India can easily get some confidants from Tibet through the influence of lakhs of Tibetans living in India to activate insurgency & strikes from Tibet. Having Tajikistan as another airbase of India, Xinjiang can also be activated. China also have the herculean task of countering the Himalayan obstacle. None of the countries bordering India will support or take the side of China except Pakistan. But Pakistan is not a threat to India since they will be told by all the powers, to stay out if we go to war.
30% is a number you pulled out of your ***. It could be 2%, but you have no way of knowing anything. Also Chinese military excersies requires troops to travel all over China, mostly to unfamiliar terrotory, in this case Tiber, but also Mongolia and more.
No one mentioned an Indian insurgency, but sure, mention China. Out of the two of us, you are the only one to even have an active insurgency, but sure. Let this reason be China's downfall. You are just like that Russian, trying to get Texas independent.
I do agree no one else will move though. Convenient you think no one will help China, but everyone and their mother in east China will wage all out war on China.
See the bias in your analysis yet.
I have already mentioned quite a few times, China can strike the Indian land area, but China is vulnerable to Indian Navy. They can't strike or have a defense in the Indian ocean. India has good relations with almost all the countries surrounding China. India can bring China to its knees if they cut of its supply route in the ocean, if it tries any mis-adventure at our borders. That will lead to bigger humiliation for China. And also India can easily enter the South China Sea to strike the Han area, as we have the support of Vietnam, Japan, Philippines, US & the West. Britain just sent its biggest aircraft carrier to SCS, just to send a message to China
You won't fire on civilian ships. No one dared since ww2 for good reason.
You can enter SCS? you know how big of a difference is in our power? You can only have 1 modern destroyer make its way to SCS. As proven by the US. 30% in repairs, 30% in training, on shore or off, and 30% active. Your carrier uses outdated Russian engines(their engine base was in Ukraine).
let's not forget, you have 5 replenishment ships only, so at most 2 will be available. You know how many China has?
Need i go on.
So according to me, I can confidently say Nothing will happen. They may try some small intrusions to test, but will not have the balls to pull the trigger & will pull back. They will only give excuses later for not going to war. All these Chinese in this forum will also be making similar claims why they didn't want to strike India & not because they are scared. Eg: they are peace loving & not wanted war or nuclear strikes & destruction, so backed off. China is right now stuck in a miserable situation with India. If they back off, it will expose all its vulnerability, as it has be hurling threats to US, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan & many other countries but nobody has dared to confront China. India, an unexpected player Challenging Chinese will & putting up such a bold posture has caught them off balance. China has no choice, it can only hold on to the post to save face, if it doesn't back off. Either way all their war of words will go in vain & will be mocked later as it's defeat. I think I will be right. Let's wait & see, how the Chinese Gov.t handles its desperation.
You know why no one wants to challenge China, its not for the BS reasons you listed. Ill put it to you this way. We have 100 articles on why Chinese military sucks, why India is the new growth engine.
Now in our early years if we grew 7% we be called collapsing, and either India Military is better than American(they also have these articles) or no one gives a damn about your military.
People backed off because they know the power China holds, nothing to do with attitude. If it were Saddam really should still be president of Iraq right now.
I have also mentioned many times before, North Korea will be neutralized first & next in line would be Pakistan in the coming years unless it changes it's sides & make peace with India by sorting out all the differences
You want santa clause to take care of China too? pretty high opinion of yourself.[/QUOTE]
As old saying goes, one who laughs last laughs best.
You are welcome to claim victory everyday, for now. You guys were very cocky for years prior to Oct. 20, 1962, when Chinese humbly show your place and made you guys feel like a sore loser every single day for the next 55 years. I guess some people never learn.
There may not even be a "hot war", but the dynamics between two countries will be forever changed, and it will not be in India's favor.
We are finally at a stage where people around us claim to beat us based on bs assertions.
Feel proud, there is only one other country that enjoy this hate. It is the US of A.
