NDTV: India's Faceoff with China A sign of The Future

I agree with you on the later part. Your CPC think tanks are not fools I told you earlier that's why you see no bullets in the border. The war is being fought in online forums and thankfully nobody is getting killed.

Regarding media let us agree to disagree , I am an Indian lived in the Soviet Union and later Russia for few years so I know a bit about how the media/propaganda thing works. Both have their agendas to push forward. The only difference is you take their word as a gospel of truth. How about the point to differ and argue does your media give you that space to a commoner. I can change 20 news channels and choose what to believe or disbelief.



No mate I can't , I am a poor nigger from a poor country without education. We don't have the highly skilled education system like our neighbours to the east and west.
The Wesntern media is control by capital, while for the authority, it is control by the government. So you choose to trust the captial which doesn't represent you benefit at all, funny.
You said we take their word as a gospel of truth, as I just mentioned, you are brainwashed, and lost the ability to think by yourself.
You just insisted that the CPC doesn't want to start the war, but I don't think so. Tell me, do you fell I take theirs word as truth? Please try to be logic self-consistency. First of all, think by you self.
It's very weird, it seems you India all take the same opinion.
 
.
You are hard to understand.
Did Bhutan request India to interfere ?

Why don't you find that out and ask Bhutan if you doubt our claims . Oops you don't have diplomatic relations ? Bad luck !

I am hard to understand because logic is totally tangent for some.
 
.
See your interaction with me has helped you so much that now you understand the difference on who got owned. Anyways meet you later maybe with your original ID on some other post.

My sympathities your original mission of getting me banned by inciting/ provoking failed miserably. Cheers mate hard luck this time, try harder.



You chose to ignore the word -- Substantial
What is substantial for you may not be for us , depends on threat perceptions. But I don't blame you these kind of logical analysis are alien.
"Who got owned?" Damn man... I was being nice to you. So much arrogance.
Be nice for like once in a lifetime.
*chuckles*

Yes we Indians are united and diverse at the same time.

What is your whole point ?
China is preparing for war ? So be it ? Let there be war and no empty threats. As of now it's only empty threats. As per your countrymen the war would have happened and finished by now , dig posts two weeks back.
 
.
Chinese support to terrorist like masood aszhar is well known. Their support terrorists has made it clear that they are not interested in having friendly relations. It leaves us no choice but to fight terrorist & their supporters.

You do realize that one man's terrorist is another man's hero? It is all politics, is it not? Otherwise, why would a well known terrorist be allowed to become Prime Minister of India, by the Indians?

Similarly, the Chinese do not consider Masoor Azhar to be a terrorist so why should they assist India in designating the person as such?
 
.
Why don't you find that out and ask Bhutan if you doubt our claims . Oops you don't have diplomatic relations ? Bad luck !

Ok. that's what I wanted to know. Bhutan did not request help from India.

So India has no reason to send troops to Doklam.
 
.
See mate it's as simple as this - A coin has two sides , I don't know about Chinese coins they most probably have only one.

So when are you tons of mass rolling over to our territory ? Any timeframe your propaganda ministry has given you ? I am also amazed this time you don't have photo ops or satellite imagery to post your propaganda.

Mate I am already shivering in my dhoti seeing all your shiny new toys. So when are you using them ? I need an escape route please send a warning before you shoot .You can resort to your good friend Pakistan they can create some fake news and pictures of attack by Chinese , believe me they are amazing at this work.

Bro, your analogy of a coin is totally out of context. We are not gonna roll over tonnes of equipment to invade India, we are gonna use those equipment to defend our territory. Why are you guys so paranoid? China has no intention of invading India, the dispute is between Bhutan and China, and you are trying to be hero, need to remind you again how painful being kicked in the *** is.

We are going to use it soon, but then came your lil beggar Doval, let's see what concession he is offering. :lol:

Ajit Doval to explore ways to end border standoff ahead of PM Narendra Modi's visit
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com...f-ahead-of-pms-visit/articleshow/59762435.cms

Even Modi is coming for an NSA meeting? LOL:lol: and you tell me they are not begging for a face saving exit? LOL. Really pathetic, if Xi goes to Delhi, the Chinese people would rise up and rebel and overthrow the CCP.

So you drew your own conclusions after asking questions yourself , its not rare for a Chinese tough.By your Chinese logic you own half the world because some whoooooo whooooo made a map 2000 years ago and your CPC just found it 2 years ago and now want to claim their land back.

Do you have any proof that Bhutan did not request for help from India , since you made that absolute statement ?

Stop beating around the bush and show us proof that Bhutan requested India to interfere. Simple as that.

On the other hand, China's ambassor to India wife met with the king of Bhutan. The king confirmed that Bhutan did not request India to interfere.

China's stand became more stronger after that. Now there are news coming out that Bhutan has requested India to withdraw their troops.

So who is lying and who is telling the truth.

So who is lying and who is telling the truth.

So your proof is a hypothetical meeting and who is believing this truth of yours , Pakistan and NK ?

China has alleged that India is fighting on behalf of Bhutan, which had opposed the construction of a motorable road by the Chinese military from Dokala in the Doklam area towards the Bhutan Army camp at Zornpelri on June 16. Doklam is claimed by both China and Bhutan so its disputed and any permanent structure on a disputed land denotes to unilateral action of aggression.

Bhutan’s envoy to India had issued a demarche to the Chinese embassy in Delhi asking the Chinese side to stop the construction. Post this event India has acted on behalf and request of the government of Bhutan.

The onus is on you to prove it otherwise , prove it if you can with non CPC propaganda.
Deny that Bhutan did not contact Chinese embassy in New Delhi via Indias help on June 16th 2017 regarding Chinese road construction in bhutanese territory, deny that if you can , deny that India acted unilaterally and much before the Bhutan envoy issued a demarcate to the Chinese. Deny that Indian soldiers entered the area from Bhutanese territory and not Indian territory which they could have ? why did Bhutan allow Indian soldiers free passage to disputed region if they did not wish to ?

Go drown yourself in CPC lies.

China in a package deal in 1996 ‘offered’ to ‘give up’ its claims to 495 sq km of land in the Pasamlung and Jakarlung valleys in Bhutan’s north-central sector of Bumthang in return for giving up the 269 sq km in Doklam to China, China is vulnerable in the Doklam region they have been eyeing this bhutanese territory since long.
Go read up first before spreading the lies.

Now there are news coming out that Bhutan has requested India to withdraw their troops.

Show me the official Bhutan response and not some news coming out from CPC controlled mouthpiece.
I will believe it when you show it rather than claiming abstract news.

So who is holding onto the last straw of lies with some hypothetical news.

Bhutan reportedly never asked India for any military intervention in Doklam. On the contrary, Indian media has reported that Bhutan has requested India to withdraw its troops from there.


Dr. Jiang Yili Visits Bhutan
2017/05/29
From May 9th to 11th, 2017, Dr. Jiang Yili, wife of Chinese Ambassador to India, visited Bhutan and called on Her Majesty Tshering Pem Wangchuck and Her Majesty Sangay Choden Wangchuck, the Queen Mothers of Bhutan. Both sides exchanged views on Mahayana Buddhism and other topics of interest. Dr. Jiang also visited the Bhutan Nuns Foundation and the Bhutan Textile Museum.

So these photos you posted shows that Bhutan king has asked India to move the troops away from Doklam in the month of MAY2017 its another point that the standoff happened in June 2017
Well done !

Secondly an opinion by a former diplomat is that all you have where is the official Indian or Bhutanese response link ? You know why various media in India have various viewpoints because its not controlled by a single party state like our eastern neighbour.

See my friend unlike in China some news paper editorial or opinion is not an official mouthpiece of GOI or the armed forces or any other authority. I can understand you are short of options but its not my fault.

On the other hand, China's ambassor to India wife met with the king of Bhutan. The king confirmed that Bhutan did not request India to interfere.

Now see the fun who is lying to whom.
When did the Chinese ambassador's wife visit Bhutan , MAY 2017 as per your post above. ( Check dates )

When did Bhutan call on your embassy in Delhi June 16th 2017

Now how did the ambassadors wife or who so ever discuss Doklam before the incident has actually happened ?
the king confirmed that in may about an incident which happened in June

MAN you are lying through your teeth and have no route to escape.



I tell you people blame Indians for being thugs and astrologers but the expat Chinese will beat us any-day with their prediction , don't tell me in China May comes after June

Will Bhutan exert its independent stand in the Doklam conflict?
Farah Masum, July 23, 2017

Five weeks have passed since the confrontation between China and India at Doklam, but the crisis remains unresolved. It has become an issue of pride, with no one willing to step down first and lose face.

In the meantime, China’s is gaining legal clout for its stance, while India is getting a cold shoulder from Bhutan. Bhutan reportedly never asked India for any military intervention in Doklam. On the contrary, Indian media has reported that Bhutan has requested India to withdraw its troops from there.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s high commissioner in Delhi, Abdul Basit, has met with the ambassadors of both China and Bhutan there. Delhi is rather perturbed at Thimpu’s annoyance with India for involving it in the tensions.

Well-known Indian international relations expert Bhadrakumar has said that the wife of the Chinese ambassador it Delhi met with the king of Bhutan after the crisis began. The king clearly informed the diplomat’s wife that Bhutan did not ask India to deploy troops in Doklam. Since then, China has adopted a firmer stand, according to sources.

China has taken a cautious stand since the Doklam crisis, avoiding direct military conflict, but the country’s media has taken up a hard line and have been issuing threats towards India. Initially India had made attacking statements, but now had adopted a more defensive stand. It now says that the problem can be resolved through talks.

Speaking in parliament, India’s foreign minister Sushma Swaraj has said that the international community will be with Delhi on the Doklam issue and hat both countries should withdraw their troops. Global Times, the mouth piece of China’s Communist Party, reacted sharply to her statement and published an editorial in this regard.

The editorial stated: “She was lying to the parliament. First, India’s invasion of Chinese territory is a plain fact. New Delhi’s impetuous action stuns the international community. No other country will support India’s aggression. Second, India’s military strength is far behind that of China. If the conflict between China and India escalates to the intensity where they row has to be resolved through military means, India will surely lose.

“India should abandon the fantasy of a long-term standoff at Doklam. China will by no means agree to the withdrawal of troops from both sides in order for talks to be held. Doklam is Chinese territory. The withdrawal of Indian troops must be a precondition for talks and China will not compromise on this stance.”

Many Indian analysts contend that Delhi has taken its Big Brother attitude with Bhutan a little too far, leading up to the prevailing crisis from which it is difficult to retract. Jayanta Ghosal writes in Kolkata’s Anandabazar Patrika, “Bhutan has asked India through diplomatic channels to withdraw those extra 2500 troops from Doklam. They have asked China the same. India’s diplomats could not imagine that Bhutan would take such a stance at this juncture of confrontation with China. Delhi had taken it for granted that this little Himalayan nation was entirely in its camp. Jawaharlal Nehru had signed a peace treaty with Bhutan in 1949. It was laid down there that Bhutan would follow India’s guidance in its foreign policy matters. Then in 2007 when Bhutan changed from monarchy to democratic rule, this clause was dropped from the treaty. In reality, Delhi hadn’t really lost any clout with Thimpu. Under Indian pressure, Bhutan even issued a demarche to China. But this latest request has perturbed India’s South Block.”

Indian security analyst and international relations expert Bhadrakumar revealed India’s motives behind the Doklam operation. In Asia Times he wrote that India is playing a new trick with the Doklam issue to influence Bhutan’s elections to take place in the middle of next year. In 2008 the country transformed from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy and the first election ushered in the Bhutan Peace and Prosperity Party, perceived to be pro-Chinese. In the next elections, through various means, the pro-Indian People’s Democratic Party president Tshering Tobgay was brought to power. With the party losing popularity, there is all possibility that Jigme Thinley’s party will once again will the election. Under such circumstances, the conflict with China was picked up in order to generate anti-Chinese nationalist emotions before the election.

The Doklam incident had, instead, raked up anti-Indian feelings in Bhutan. Renowned lawyer Wangchuk Singe wrote that Bhutan is much more unprotected in front of India than China. Bhutan has no connectivity with any other country other than through India. As a result, Bhutan’s trade and economy depends entire on India. Due to these geographical restrictions, Bhutan simply has to accept whatever is said about the boundary in India’s survey.

He wrote that During China-Bhutan border talks, India has repeatedly urged Bhutan to claim Doklam as its territory. Though India gave this up itself when in talks with China, it has been using Bhutan to make the claim. Bhutan is in a difficult position. Each inch of Bhutan’s land is sacred. It is natural for them to claim territory for themselves. But claiming disputed land from China simply for India’s strategic purposes, is a dangerous matter.

India had intentionally brought the Doklam issue forward as a tool against China. It had also hoped to fan up extremist Hindutva nationalist sentiments before the presidential election as well as to cover up the military operations centred on the Kashmir issue. However, Delhi seems to have been caught in its own trap. On one hand China continues amassing its military strength along the Indian border, with its media taking on increasingly threatening tones. One the other hand, Kashmir too is in a weakened state in the face of China’s threats. China has said that if India can send troops to Doklam at Bhutan’s request, then China can consider sending troops to Kashmir at Pakistan’s request.

Bhadrakumar has said, India is at a disadvantage on the Doklam issue for four reasons and it will be difficult for it to garner international support for this. Firstly, even India’s media does not say that China has entered Indian territory. On the contrary, Indian troops have taken position in the territory claimed by Bhutan, which is under Chinese control. Secondly, India claims that the road being constructed by China in Doklam may be a security threat to India. But there had been a road there before. China is just expanding it. Thirdly, India contends at its strategic Chicken Neck or Siliguri corridor may be China’s target. Yet the hundreds of kilometers between the Chumbi valley near the site and Siliguri is absolutely rough and hard-to-access terrain, unfit for military movement. Fourthly, China is carrying out the construction on its sovereign territory. India has no justification to object.

Delhi cannot be unaware of all this. The question is, why then is India so aggressive in its stance concerning Doklam? Wangchuk Singe says that Doklam doesn’t have any extra strategic significance to Bhutan than other parts of the kingdom. But it does hold significance to India and China. Unfortunately for India, the boundaries of Sikkim, India, Tibet-China in the tri-nation junction have been demarcated a long time ago. The Doklam plateau is very important to India in its strategic military interests. It cannot fulfill that requirement through Sikkim. Without Doklam, the doors of Sikkim may close to India.

This analysis reflects Bhutan’s mindset. Singe says, one thing must be made clear. It is true that Indian forces have kept up their presence in Bhutan, India trains the Bhutanese army and arranges funding for it. But none of this is for Bhutan’s defence. It is for India’s defence. India wants to enhance Bhutan’s capabilities in order to protect its own border with China.

The crisis arising out of the Doklam issue is forcing Bhutan to take a sovereign stand. In the past China has a non-interference policy concerning South Asian nations. That is no longer so. Many in Thimpu feel that India had a secret hand in curtailing the powers of the Bhutanese king, just as it did in Nepal. By forming a parliament of pro-Indian elements, it keeps the king under pressure. By keeping him under pressure over the Doklam issue, Delhi is shutting his mouth. But that is how Sikkim lost its independence at one point of time, under such pressure. Such an unspoken fear prevails in Bhutan too.

No matter how small Bhutan may be, it can exert itself independence with Chinese support. Significant in this regard is Abdul Basit meeting with the Bhutanese and Chinese ambassadors in Delhi, the Chinese ambassador’s wife calling upon the Bhutanese king, and the call through diplomatic channels for India to withdraw its troops. Many Indian analysts apprehend this is the beginning of the end of India’s strong domination over Bhutan.
