[PAKISTANFOREVER]

You don't have Kashmir to close its airspace.

On the contrary, we have domain over 35% of Kashmir.........:

So Indian Mullahs are siding with the Indian soldiers that kill their brethren in Kashmir. Amazing...

That is not how the PLA functions. The official dissemination of information in the PRC follows a completely different, nuanced procedure.
And they can afford to follow said procedure for obvious reasons.

Exactly. Biases of media channels aside, PRC doesn't even ever play this bizarre Indian game of "ODI cricket whoever kills more is the one that wins". Militarily, China has decisively won this engagement - that much is almost certain even now.

Regardless of casualities, I'm more interested to know what events led to the actual clash. Any news on that?

1. The clash took place just as Chinese troops were getting ready to move away from a location per an agreement that was part of recent talks between the two sides to defuse tension. The Colonel was reportedly assaulted with stones and Indian soldiers retaliated, which led to close unarmed combat for several hours. The soldiers disengaged after midnight.

Indians coming up with their the old BS they use against Pakistan. “Their intercepts suggests Chinese had 43 casualties” who in the world still uses unencrypted radios, not the Pakistanis, not the Chinese, oh yes the Indians as the PAF found out on the Feb. 27th. Even their ability to create a farce is limited.

If USA-China cold war is real, why has USA made so much investments in China?

- PRTP GWD

Pure business reasons.

Contrary to that, I believe US wants expension of this conflict between you and China so that it gives a much needed push to recover her economy. China doesn't need to buy anything from the US or Russia, your forex reserves and your constant boasting about them have attracted many regional and global players..

On the other hand, if war happens, it will also give much support to Chinese economy because most of the Chinese defence industry is localized.

A war with China will benefit the US, the EU and China immensely.

I don't think Modi's political career can survive a slaughter of more than 50 IA to China in a single day if number goes up

Indians can't blame Pakistan this time so Modi will take a lot more heat for this than Pulwama

Zher polotical career has been decimated.

The only hope was gaining an area in Azad Kashmir equal to lost area in Ladakh to keep Hindutva vote base consolidated. But flashbacks of Feb 27, 2019 are too fresh in Bipin-Doval-Shah-Rajnath-Modi's minds.

Phrase Catch-22 has lost its meaning describing Pajeetpradesh's dilemma. Not a month ago they'd been talking of overtaking Pak's sovereign Gilgit & Baltistan region. It should be Catch-44 now.

Only if Sushma Swaraj was alive would she'd suggest Modi to take the Chowkidar Twitter handle again, that is, if Modi and co. really dont wish to speak on the topic in their parliament or directly to their masses. Shame on world's biggest democracy, world's most fragile parliament.

Our Indian members don't know that there's no reason for Chinese to hide any casualties. Their system of governance is extremely different. The president doesn't need votes to get elected so he is not afraid of the public reaction of disclosing the casualties. As a member earlier suggested, they can afford to wait.

And there's a process of disclosing the facts in Chinese government. It is a mature regime with much more mature organizations working under it. They have much bigger conflicts going on at a global level and India is just secondary to them.

The PRC is a far more well oiled machine than the BJP or its parent the RSS. Further, the Chinese will definitely not forego their territorial claims. Just look at the lengths they went to ensure that even successive US govts. followed the one China policy. The only thing that is going to dissuade them is disproportionate strength of the adversary and India does not posses that as of right now.

I think the IA may have wanted to follow our very own model of staring down and facing an enemy far larger than its size. And that may have led to this clash
