India to strengthen army deployment in Arunachal

[conworldus]

Are you suggesting that India has more war experience than Chinese? Isn't it a PLUS point?

I would actually say yes to that one...

But we fought way tougher foes (U.S and UN in Korea, Vietnam, Soviet Union), so it cancels out.

Got to feel it for Russia, though. Twice as big as China, facing threat from the U.S and its NATO cohorts, and its budget is a pultry 58 billion.

This should be a good reading for you:

Considering the number of adverseries China has, the numbers are bound to be bigger than India which has traditionallly has two adverseries Pakistan and China.

China has bigger army because China has more enemies and more land to defend.

Here is a list of wars faught by china.

Considering the number of wars China has faught. A huge arny is a must.

Just quoting your link:


Chinese occupation of Tibet (This is just an extension of the civil war)
Korean War
Tibetan Rebellion (Very small, much smaller than the Maoist in India)
First Taiwan Straits Crisis (Not a war)
Sino-Burmese border War
Second Taiwan Straits Crisis (Again, no war)
Tibetan Rebellion (Not a war. A small rebellion of less than 1000)
Chinese incursions into Indian territory (This is not a war. Nihal's forward policy ring a bell?)
Sino-Indian War
Cultural Revolution (NOT A WAR)
Sino-Soviet border clash
Sino-Vietnamese War
Tienanmen Massacre (NOT A WAR)
Third Taiwan Straits Crisis (NOT A WAR)

Meanwhile, here is India's list:
