China’s Defiance of International Court Has Precedent—U.S. Defiance

So China is sure that the judgement will go against it. Interesting.
A Japanese right wing judge lead the court under Yankee's instruction. Well done huh? You think we are three years old? Although they may twist the fact, but they can't defeat China.

As you say, BRITISH ARMIES, that makes it British, not India. Indians did not fight for India, Indians fought under the British colonial flag for the British Empire.
Yeh, there were just colonial soldiers.

There were many soldiers from dozens of British colonies fought under the British banner during that war, they all should have a seat in UNSC if Indians logic works.
 
UN seat or veto is no indication of power , they are just vestiges of bygone era.
:( Well I am so sorry and sad to inform you that it is the only thing that MATTERS today in the UN - The VETO power.

Problem with China is , they are still living in past. They need to come to present and accept the ground realities and move ahead.
In histories, India recent past is all about COLONIALISM and slavery ( Don't forget India is merely a union of 32 nations aligned along the British Railway) whereas China recent past is all about Western Imperialism and bullying (Opium War, Rape of Nanking, Burning of the Imperial Palace, etc.) Nothing to be proud of and to glorify about.
So what is there to live in the past when only 2% of the population is only educated.

So what is should be the REDRESS Present in your opinion.

What will be your so-called GROUND REALITY? Be continue to be address as the SICKMAN OF ASIA. Although do not mind the tag of being the COOLIE State of Asia, other Chinese do! That is the reality.

Otherwise India despite being only 1/5 the size of China economy gets into a state of esctacy whenever biased dishonest economists opined that India is ahead and overtaking China in GDP growth number. I rest my case. :cheers:
 
Total Myth. British Railway was limited to very small area and has not played any vital role in unification of present India.
Really.

:coffee: Then just listen to what our late Singapore PM Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, an international respected statesman had to says about India.


What constraints does India's culture impose on its long term prospects?

India is not a real country. Instead, it is 32 separate nations that happen to be arrayed along the British rail line. The British came, conquered, established the Raj, incorporated under their rule an amalgam of 175 princely states, and ruled them with 1,000 Englishmen and several tens of thousands of Indians brought up to behave like English.

I am against a society which has no sense of nurturing its best to rise to the top. I am against a feudal society where your birth decides where you stay in the pecking order. The example of that, par excellence, is India's caste system.
India is an established civilisation. Nehru and Gandhi had a chance to do for India what I did for Singapore because of their enormous prestige, but they could not break the caste system. They could not break the habits.

Look at the construction industries in India and China, and you will know the difference between one that gets things done and another that does not get things done, but talks about things. . . .

It is partly because India is such a diverse country - it is not one nation, but 32 different nations speaking 330 different dialects. . . . In China, it is 90 per cent Han Chinese all speaking the same language, with different accents, but reading the same script. If you stand up in Delhi and speak in English, out of 1. 2 billion people, maybe 200 million will understand you. If you speak in Hindi, maybe 250 million will understand you. If you speak in Tamil, 80 million people will understand you. So there is an enormous difference between the two countries . . . . We are comparing oranges and apples. . . . Let me not be misunderstood. The upper class in India is equal to any in the world but they face the same hurdles.

The average Indian civil servant still sees himself primarily as a regulator and not as a facilitator. The average Indian bureaucrat has not yet accepted that it is not a sin to make profits and become rich. The average Indian bureaucrat has little trust in India's business community. They view Indian businesspeople as money-grabbing opportunists who do not have the welfare of the country at heart, and all the more so if they are foreign.
 
Any international treaty cannot override Chinese constitution, of which Chinese land and sea borders are specified (9 dash line included).
No, the Chinese gov't cites "Article 2 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the territorial sea and the contiguous zone, which was promulgated on 25 February 1992." link

The so called tribunal's decision has about as much merit to the Chinese as a sheet of toilet paper.
Why is that?

A treaty enacted in 1982 cannot retroactively negate territorial claims made back as far as 1911 by Republic of China. The 9 dash line is a direct continuation of the 11 dash line, which Philippines and Vietnam were still Western colonies instead of sovereign states at the time.

Why is that?
A kangaroo court staffed by a bunch of white men located in Europe claiming jurisdiction it has no control over and thinking it can decide the sovereignty of a state thousands of miles away.

Do these clowns still think it's 1800's?

It didn't. Part of the problem is that China hasn't in practice claimed sovereignty of the area, only "rights". That means China can't take the position that the tribunal lacks the jurisdiction China empowered it with when it signed UNCLOS. A little more clever diplomacy would have prevented this ruling from being such a disaster.

Heh it's only "disaster" if you actually recognize this joke of a clown show. Like anyone really gives a damn besides the West and its few pawns.
