The Great Game Changer: Belt and Road Intiative (BRI; OBOR)

(empty breath of hot air)

The art of diplomacy, so negligibly known to Pakistanis and something they would kill to possess.

Russia's economy is not what it was in the early-mid 2000s.

They'll need foreign exchange and more trade with PRC and some regional countries.....

it's hard to imagine the Russians trying to escalate things militarily with China. For now, it seems South China Sea is in the grip of the Chinese; their navy also appears to becoming quite increasingly assertive

Now now. the bottom line is they have signed the deal with Vietnam and oil drilling will take place. Same with ONGC Videsh

The Chinese MWA (Ministry of Warning Affairs) is free to give its warnings though.

what? yapping like your leaders and not being taken seriously?

what happened after 26/11 when your Pranab Mukhrajee begged the west not to arm the evil Pakistanis? Just days after that, we received Mar-1 missiles. So much for ''artful diplomacy''

Now now. the bottom line is they have signed the deal with Vietnam and oil drilling will take place. Same with ONGC Videsh

and their Navy is free to give its reply too

should be fun to watch; i think South China Sea will be one of the new flashpoints in the next few years given its strategic importance

 

[The HBS Guy]

Welcome to China's 'peaceful' rise.

Welcome to China's 'peaceful' rise.

nothing can be as 'peaceful' as your 'rise' right?

by the way..doing anything funny with any country's ship in international water is equivalent to declaring war..now..china wouldn't risk a war with few big powers..what they can is it'll issue more warning and pressure them to withdraw..but this technique is not working properly..do they???

 

[Sergi]

Man multiple warnning threads Can't be in all at the same time
But it nothing to discuss about Russia here. They are too good for china. Cut their cables and they will cut the cable cutters

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

the cable cutter cutters were probably made in China

 

[The HBS Guy]

We are not the ones issuing random threats to countries.

We are not the ones petitioning the entire universe warning each and every single country to not attend a Nobel Prize Ceremony.

China is insecure and this insecurity is the reason why it behaves like a petulant child who shouts everytime somebody tries to touch his toy.

Russia cannot afford a hostile China. Russia is surrounded by NATO on the west, east and north. Its southern border is the only safe one, if it does not get a hostile China. China has far more IRBMs than ICBMs, making any attempted Russian aggression very very costly.

Russia tried that before in the 80's. It collapsed. Russia isn't that dumb.

well nobody can afford a hostile China...but China too can't afford a hostile neighbourhood.but they are trying very hard to make a very hostile environment for itself..you can't count everything on your muscle buddy..

I don't think we have yet reached a stage where fanboys have to point their Inter(net) Continental Ballistic Missiles at each other.

Before lecturing India and Russia, China would do well to look at its own actions and get out of P0K.

 

[OrionHunter]

Ah! The list gets longer by the day. So far, the Chinese (Who think they own the South China Sea) were having spats with:

India
Vietnam
Philippines
Indonesia
Japan
South Korea
Malaysia
Brunei

And now the latest member of the club is Russia! Welcome guys.

The verbal diarrhea of the Chinese is legendary. So expect a lot of clap trap and hot air (Read: Methane) emanating from them.

 

[Lonely Hermit]

@Russians:
Welcome to the club comrades.
So till now how many nation did China warn?

 

[ChinaToday]

we will give warning to any one who try to steal our territory that include USA too if they try

that's right. Unlike some, we are not afraid of talking against white people. That is because unlike them, we have not been conditioned to have shame in the color of our skin.
