Analysts: Full-scale war between India, China likely soon

[ito]

I will not discount a war between India and China. Whether a full scale or a localized one is hard to say because sometimes a localized war may turn full scale.

This war once started will be uncontrollable which I agree. Indian is irrational.

This war will not be limited to skirmish border as Indian think they have navy and air supremacy. By total annhihilate tri service of India is the only way to be safe from Indians.

Rest assured it will be mutual destruction of both countries to the last drop... given the probability no chance... Indians are very rational, the short sighted presumption you have, that we are irrational is because we have an argument which is based on rational policies. These are facts that are corroborated by the 2 countries Bhutan and India.

Your is not worth the 50c payment.

Chinese can only decide when to start the war. The scale of the war would be determined by India and not by the China.

Nehru made the mistake in 62 assuming China will not attack. This time there should be no room for complacency...India should be ready for all eventualities and teach Chinese a lesson.

The “Three Warfares” (san zhong zhanfa). The Doklam incident proves that China has fully operationalized this concept. See how

The concept is based on three mutually reinforcing strategies:

1. Media Warfare to influence domestic and international public opinion to build public (domestic) and international support for china's military action and to dissuade an adversary from pursuing policies perceived to be adverse to china's interests.
This is reason for China’s daily press briefings and the constant barrage (through official media) official and un-officialstatements.

2. Psychological Warfare to undermine an enemy's ability to conduct combat operations through psychological operations aimed at deterring, shocking and demoralizing enemy military personnel and supporting civilian population.
This is the reason for reminding India of 1962 War or declaring that China will interfere in J&K or liberate Sikkim, etc.

3. Legal Warfare. Intending to use international and domestic laws to gain international support and manage possible repercussions of china's military actions.
This is the reason China uses a lot of universities, think tanks and ancient treaties and laws. Their institutions constantly churn out scholarly articles defending Chinese stand on various issues. This gives them a garb of legitimacy.


Some of the successful use of this Three Warfares Concept in the recent past are:-
South China Sea. Despite the ruling of International Court of Justice which went against China, they managed to convince Phillipines to ignore the ruling and more or less backtrack on its claims.
