India did its strategic calculus and made a bold move - to challenge the Chinese supremecy/rising leadership in Asia. The Indian strategists must be given credit for this audacity!
Have they overestimated themselves or underestimated the Chinese possible options?
Have they given a golden opportunity to China to solve many issues in the Chinese Box?
It is upto the Dragon now to solve this Indian Challenge!
If the Way teaches anything... and the entirety of the Chinese Mind and Operative Civlisation is but a product of the Way & Confusian Thought, our Indian friends must be prepared for The Great Red Dragon's response.
The Chinese response shall be multifacted, calculated and with an absolute clarity of the end game in mind.
And China Will Respond. China has to now!!!!
The Indian retreat will not be considered solution by China. This is a given.
And our Indian friends must realise, that the Concept of Time is very Elastic in the Chinese Mind.
The Dragon is the Master in Creating and Winning Time.
Sun Wukong and 500 years of Humility. Nothing less will do.
Otherwise, it will be a new game of Go. And China has a much bigger fish to fry.
Time is the Revealer of mysteries. Some advance by retreating...others retreat by advancing.
Well first off, your premise that Indians created this puzzle is wrong.
Chinese did.
They were using their SCS strategy here as well.
Indian army surprised them. No need to feel humiliated. Just accept it and move on.
India gave Chinese the way out a lot of times. They did not. They cannot. Again, their assumption was they were coming from a position of power. All India had to do was sit the game out. And she did. Time will tell if this was a master stroke or not. Most prolly not. But Chinese foreign ministry with their daily blunders, ruined the image. India just kept quiet.
As you said china has bigger fish to fry in SCS and NK. But October once the CPC meetings are done, this will die down. No other words about it.
Even a single gun shot will turn this into a war. India china war in 2017 is not a easy pushover.
not sure what Pakistani members are spewing in every thread. This game has nothing to do with them.
Anything Pakistan does this time, India will pull their knickers down and will give a good spanking. And then they will go crying to China. But already china is busy with India. So not sure what are they getting out.
India against all reasons, is winning this game. They have nothing to gain and nothing to loose. Just sit tight.
Thank you China.
