Chinese cowardice? Last I heard it was the Indians who scrammed?
Who bragged about going to war? we threaten a war, two different things. Chinese normally don't brag, this is an infamous Indian trait btw. Again, you seemed to be ignorant of the geography and what is at stake. What just happened was in return for a dignified retreat, Chinese was offered occupation and in return there was a postponement of road construction. India was demanding for mutual withdrawal, but who cares, the Chinese fortified their positions and built bunkers. MEA gave an ambiguous statement as usual, nothing changed, of course nothing changed, the Chinese soldiers are still there. They gave no details of the negotiations with China. I posted a detailed explanation of the geography to let you understand India was bullshitng when they said no road are supposed to be built on Doklam plateau since the road is already COMPLETED on Doklam plateau. They were caught offguard by Chinese reaction of war. The Chinese were caught offguard by India's dumb action of crossing an international border, but in return India never expected China to go for war. They had no choice but to retreat and in return as good gesture, China postponed the construction so Modi can get a face saver, strategically it made no difference, the road on Doklam plateau is complete, soldier are now occupying it.
India created a mess and the ultimate victims were the Bhutanese. China just gained territory.
. Road miles away? it's just 10km away, widening it meant, China was gonna send in more soldiers and equipment, are you so naive? It's like someone sharpening the sword, and you say, it's just a sword, not necessary meant to kill someone.
