Not a big deal. Does having one more or one less mountain peak really threaten Beijing that much? Any territorial disputes are likely played up or down depending on domestic Chinese politics, with little to do with a hypothetical Indian threat.
This is what Nehru was thinking but your Govt. back stabbed him. Your PLA do not think like that, they will feel threatened and would mount an attack even from POK if we will encroach an inch at that border. You are not backed by your own PLA. Go figure it out.
Actually, when you referenced the Indo-Russian pact, I said that
1) It was the Russians doing the threatening, not India
2) That pact is essentially over, at least relative to China. Russia wouldn't take India's side over China in a conflict unless China invaded Russia too.
No, this is what you said,
Sure, India may have threatened China in the past via the Indo-Russian pact, but with Russia now playing a much more neutral role between China and India, what other threat does India pose to China?
You got carried away and lost the credibility in my view.
The pact was a necessity, It helped us keeping Americans away. There is thread on this forum on American support of Pakistan in 1971 war. Chinese posturing on our border was a threat, but we were aware of your bad experiences of 1962 & 1967 (Indian compromised LAC, and beaten back your offences in 1967). Up to many years back we were confident about border with China, that is what prompted China to outsource its military ambitions to Pakistan. Now things are changing fast in China's favour again but we have our own contingencies for the same.
That's history and it doesn't show why India threatens China today
.
We know your reactions on Agni 5 launch.
You guys should stop day dreaming. We will hit your rice belts, all the industrial complexes including your military installations one by one. It is just a matter of time we mass produce these missiles and MIRV platform which is couple of moons away.
Capability is not intent; intent is not capability; what can India do if China votes against it in the UN from time to time? And what's more, China has voted with India in the UN far more than it has voted against India...
We are talking about strategic strikes done by Pakistani terrorists inside India not green house gas emissions.
You insensitive vote in favour of terrorists adds on to our collective frustration which we will vent out at your PLA, It lower our threshold of tolerating your pin pricks and gives us propaganda points when justifying our raids on you fences and beyond.
Inaction by our part is not our weakness.
It just take a switch on and off being Capable, to have the intent, Intent without capability is fool's traits not ours.
As I recall, China passed warhead designs to Pakistan when India went ahead with Smiling Buddha in 1974. That test threatened Pakistan's existence as an independent state, so naturally China passes technology to protect its ally. I fail to see how this means China wants to contain India, unless you believe that unless China accedes to permanent Indian dominance over Pakistan, it is trying to contain India.
What a pile of bull crap your OP has become now. Thanks for admitting that Pakistan is your military ally whom you can give designs of nuclear bomb.
Also China can detonate a bomb on their short call to massage their national ego.
It means China's nuclear weapon program is an extension of Pakistan's nuclear weapon program and vice a verse. Pakistan is our mortal enemy with notoriously India specific lower threshold of nuclear war and battlefield doctrine. A+B= B+A.
In 1962, China mounted an offensive after the Indian side after India did the following:
I stand correct that India can threaten China.
I know what your answer is going to be for my next assertion.
Then China defeated India, forced India back to the the LOC, and withdrew to its own line of control afterwards. The 1967 conflicts didn't do anything to alter that status quo--please provide maps if you believe otherwise.
I was right you would use this opportunity to mention China defeated India.
That is debatable and another discussion, the bold bit doesn't sound like China defeated India. 1967 skirmishes made sure that you ally with Pakistan otherwise you have no chance against us.
What's more, you seem to believe that wresting control of a few rocks in an inhospitable plateau constitutes a threat to a nation whose major population centres are thousands of kms away. It's not.
Why don't you make Tibet independent then, like I said you are not backed by your PLA. Their Govt. in exile is fully groomed to take the charge.
I am glad there are few admirer of Nehruvian philosophy in China, you will rarely find anyone admiring him on 1962 in India, we all curse him for not punishing Chinese they way we could have and had liked him to do after your army ran back seeing angry battalions mounting your way. No use of air force was another blunder he did.
I never said that Indian operations in the IOR would pose a threat to Chinese shipping; you are the one strenuously denying it.
So you are saying we think alike ?
IOR is India's.
We can pose threat to any smart ass who will threaten our territory. I believe talking about threatening China in IOR is useless as long as they do not have capability to threaten us. Like is said posing threat is two way lane we are aware of your String of pearls and all other intents.
"Lhasa or Beijing we will be there" is found on no Googled pages except this one. You must have made up that motto.
