name/link a single credible US report that doesnt quote an indian source that states 40 chinese dead.
you "consider" consider your self knowledgable on chinese matters?? lolol your statements are pulled striaght out of your ***, or the indian media, equally smelly either way.
So which "us intelligence" thinks the chinese movements are because of a rouge general? link it.
The J-20 test was planned for sometime, china tests its jets all the time, just because some head of state comes to visit does not mean china will put its R&D on hold, in addition to the J-20 being defensive, china is not the one with massive overseas military bases near other countries.
Only an indian would think Doklam was somehow "embarrassing" for the Chinese. india's blatant undiplomatic behavior surprised china, that is all, India stopped nothing, even now satellite pics show the construction was delayed but not stopped, in addition it showed china that india is not to be trusted hence india's ***-whopping recently because the PLA was ready for their adventures.
Also, guaranteed you are a delusional Indian because you clearly think India has some kind of (none-existent) upper hand in a trade war with china. China literally has zero need for trade with india, nothing Indians offer is critical, its merely a nice to have, while china is india's top trade partner, india isn't even in china's top 5.
I guaranteed there isn't going to be a indian military action unless its by a rouge indian general. because Modi and the indian brass knows they would get they asses-whopped so hard, Brahma himself is gonna feel it. This is why despite 80% of indians, for some reason, thinking they can win and howling for revenge, the leadership hasn't dared.
