There are no Chinese troops in POK, it was all made up by your over-sensitive media.
You have the history of doing something and denying in public.
The SCS is not controlled by Vietnam, that is why Vietnamness last oil exploration ended up with cable being cut off by Chinese coast guard.
This is just a bullying and a hostile behavior to threatening neighbors with power. You can cut off the cables but in response Indian Navy can cut off all the sea routes from where your trading ships passes. You have got more to lost buddy.
The two blocks offered by Vietnam are claimed by China, and China will do something to stop any country from drilling oil there.
Totally crap! According to UN resolution each country who has its shores in sea has natural owner ship of a limited area of ocean and you can not deny that. If China can do anything then Vietnam also can do anything to stop you and we can do anything to save our interests.
There is no better target than India for China to demonstrate her will to protect her sovereignty over SCS.
Oh really?? That's a great joke of the day!
OK if you think India is better target then go ahead and see what you get.
1>The consequences of targeting India only will be much less significant than targeting an ASEAN country. Targeting an ASEAN country will make countries aound SCS nervous, they may fear they will be the next. Targetting India only won't have that consequences because everyone understands India is not supposed to show up in that region, and India is just trying to contain China while China is just protecting herself. In one word, all India is doing is making herself a good target.
The consequences of targeting India is substantial enough that you can not imagine. What world will understand that China is trying to control whole countries along South China Sea and nobody can do anything in that region including those countries who have natural ownership of that region. You keep dreaming about it what I can say?
2>India is far away from SCS, China can do everything to Indian ships that enters Chinese waters without any immediate response from Indian navy. When India find out what is happening to their ships, it is too late for India to do anything.
Of course SCS is far from India but not for Indian Navy ships and subs. Any attack on Indian ship would alarm whole India within one hour and IN dispatch response ships within few hours. You can hit and run only.
3>Indian navy lacks the ability to retaliate in SCS.
Who lacks in what will be clear during war buddy, better you get your equipment right.
4>No one is gonna rescue Indians if Indian ships are attacked in waters claimed by China, Vietanam didn't even rescue their own ships, I can't expect much of them if something happens to Indian ships.
No one gonna save Chinese ships and subs if Indian ships are attacked in SCS for any reason. If a single Indian ship got hit then Indian navy will dispatch its attack subs along with aircraft carrier and China has not matured in case of aircraft carrier technology. You gonna be sitting duck when we will use our power and technology. Consequences would be higher than your expectations.
5>India is a large country which fits to be taught a lesson and made a good example.
Try to do such mistake and time will take Who teach lesson to whom.
What is very likely to happen will be:
1> India send ships to explore oil in Chinese waters
2>Chinese coast guard find out and cut off the cables
3>India protests and condemns China, while China tells India to calm down.
4>nothing happens except chest beating in DFI.
What is actually gonna happen are:
1> India send ships to explore oil in Chinese water.
2> Chinese ship cut off cables and India laugh at them.
3> Chinese ship attacks on Indian ships.
4> India sends its western fleet along with subs and aircraft carrier to counter Chinese navy. Supported by USA and would get re-fueling facility from US navy.
5> Indian ship sinks some Chinese ships and China withdraw cowardly by saying about peace.
Vietnam is doing very smart by inviting India into the party, but India is making a foolish decision by coming to the party. Vietnamness have seen through India.
Vietnam is doing very smart by making ties with USA and India. Now China can not threatening Vietnam by its navy. If china makes some fooling mistake then India would surely join the party.
