I just pray that when the Chinese decide to switch to hot war we get the first drop, not them, the chamgadar-khor followers of Sun Tchu are very good and maximizing gains from surprise attacks, we need to get first mover's benefit.
That Jaishankar should have had somebody from the Indian Army advising him in his meetings with Wang Yi in Moscow. So that he does not commit to something which is detrimental to the IA tactical positioning on the ground.
Chinese mantris whom EAM talks with also promise something else to him, while their PLA goons do the exact opposite on the ground.
GoI including PMO, EAM, armed forces, all have changed their playbook accordingly.
EAM will continue to oblige their chai-biscoot talks while telling them diplomatically to pull back without committing to anything.
It's a stalemate now unless Chinese want hot war or we retake all the fingers by some miracle( unlikely ), so the good EAM can have all the chai-biscoot talks with them they ask for.
Sir i would like you to have a rebuttal for the article. Becoz as far as it goes for a novice like me, the article and its assertions seems the actual playbook that is being played right now. And it being published in 2015 the chances of it being retrofitting goes for a toss. I too want to have a second view but right now it makes me wonder "akhir yahi to ho raha hai".
It's not the actual playbook my dude, that is some top secret sht only for Xi and his inner circle's eyes lmao.
This is probably a Chinese civilians predictions about what their government will do, unlike our cursed system of democrazy the chong sarkar plans things well, well in advance and does propaganda messaging to it's plebeans accordingly.
Certain smart plebeans especially in their universities can then write articles like this based on their own predictions from the govt's sayings and actions.
Unlike us in 5 years things don't change there, so their predictions can be accurate.
Their govt practically advertizes Re-Unification with Taiwan and full integration of HK with PRC before 2047.
Russian's for obvious reasons do not root for China in Indi-China conflict, its different in US-China for them but even then they probably do not wish for China as they are on their border and know that they are not trustworthy.
The day China feels it can take on the West & the Rest itself( like say after whacking us in a war ), you can be sure Vladivostok and siberia are next on the menu.
All that Siberian oil, those Minerals, that Timber.
