Solution to Sino-India logjam

[topgun047]

You talk like India is a superpower.
But actually it is not.

No I do not.
Infact I made it expressly clear that India is not even in the running to be one.
That position belongs to US and China, atleast in this century.

We really don't care about how India is and you seem to have forgotten that India really has one thing to offer-our territory being occupied.

Who's "we" and why should I care what you think? None of my posts are for you. If you don't like what I write, feel free to move on.

Hi all.
This thread tempted me to stop being a passive reader and contribute my thoughts.
So here goes.

1.I think that eventually something similar to what the op is suggesting regarding India will come to pass.
Areas that were under India influence in the past will come under India's influence again - With or without China's consent
Even if history does not repeat itself, it still rhymes.

2. I don't understand the arrogance of Chinese posters here.
Perhaps the same arrogance that led to their(our ?) fall from grace.
Looking from geopolitical perspective anyone would choose India over Pakistan.
Even now, it is China which is trying to woo India, not vice-versa!
As the middle power in the upcoming cold war of this century, India can tilt the scales either way.
Perhaps it is posturing in anticipation of India's rejection or perhaps it is just good old fashioned stupidity.

3. Why the hell should India pick one side over the other when it can wield more power and extract more concessions from both sides as the swing power ?
India should just build its own strength and capitalize on this geopolitical window of next 50 years which fate has endowed upon it in which India is essentially the King-maker of 21st century.(unfortunately not the king though)

4.Totally disagree with giving up AN islands for whole of Tibet, let alone piddly Kailash and Dumbi. .
Controlling Malacca means controlling all non pacific East-West trade.

How on earth is Tibet going to come under India's influence again? I mean, that's what you're implying right?

Also, China is hardly trying to woo India. India has nothing to offer. Literally nothing.
