Yawn. Really simple minded. Everything has to be spoon fed. Aksai Chin, Kashmir and Tibet are part of China - they are all South Asian land illegally occupied by China. Did you grasp it now?
Now do vote - don't be scared. And let us know how China can ever catch up with Somalia

Good job trying to derail the thread. Feel free to open multiple threads about 1962 and India's loss.
On this thread stick to the topic - will China ever catch up with Somalia?

On October 20, the Chinese launched a pre-emptive offensive all along the borders, overwhelming the feeble -- but, in this first instance, determined -- resistance of the Indian troops and advancing some distance in the eastern sector. On October 24, Beijing offered a ceasefire and Chinese withdrawal on the condition that India agree to open negotiations: Nehru refused the offer even before the text was officially received. Both sides built up over the next three weeks, and the Indians launched a local counterattack on November 15, arousing in India fresh expectations of total victory.

The Chinese then renewed their offensive. Now many units of the once crack Indian 4th Division dissolved into rout without giving battle and, by November 20, there was no organised Indian resistance anywhere in the disputed territories. On that day, Beijing announced a unilateral ceasefire and intention to withdraw its forces: Nehru, this time, tacitly accepted.

Naturally the Indian political public demanded to know what had brought about the shameful debacle suffered by their Army. On December 14, a new Army commander, Lieutenant General J N Chaudhuri, instituted an Operations Review for that purpose, assigning the task of enquiry to Lieutenant-General Henderson Brooks and Brigadier P S Bhagat.

Looks like over 90% believe it is next to impossible for China to catch up with Somalia. Gotta feel bad for the Chinese.

actually I am, because if this so-called "free press" benchmark does not produce logical out-come then its a hoax just like the SP12 India```as free flow of quality info produces conscious and prudent people, but for example Indian are the most deluded and ignorant on earth```so the fact speaks itself that this "list" is a hoax```unless you have other explaination of why under "free press" India is still a miserable place, less developed than Somalia with extemely ignorant and deluded people`?

This thread is about Somalia and China and everyone in between including Djibouti and Rwanda. Stick to the topic and vote.

 

[Jackdaws]

The polling is over. Surprisingly over 90% believe that China can never catch up with Somalia. Given the number of Chinese people on this forum, this is a surprisingly high number.

 

[Jackdaws]

I wonder if the Somali people would be offended at being compared to a country like China.
