Iran never said that its wants to "wipe israel of the map" thats a deliberate twisting of the words of president Ahmadinejad. So me one video or one soundbite where president Ahmadinejad or any Iranian official who says they want to wipe Israel of the map. The reason why we still have a crisis...
Stacking up on short term foreign debt is a problem for China too. Right now for China the crisis is not at the door because of a massive forex reserve and the debt represent only a small proportion of the GDP. China's currency over the past few years have actually strengthened which also helps...
I recognise that India has the lead in terms of experience. But China too will gain experience in operating carriers as time passes. India however when it comes to the Vikramaditya is stuck with a very flawed carrier who's problems will not go away and will negate alot of the advantages of the...

As for the Vikaramaditya here are the dimension's...

I have no problems that India sells or gives arms to Vietnam and the Philippines. They are all sovereign nations and in my view they can do what they want in their bilaterale relations. I'm confident that China's defence industry is able to cope with whatever India can supply them both in terms...
