India-China Border conflict

[prasadr14]

Folks a thought as China coming too close to Russia
They can get their oil and gas requirements from them and that too in unlimited quantity through pipelines
Their reliance on Malacca strait will decrease exponentially
So don't we have to reformulate our strategy I mean our Navy is much focused on blocking the sea routes and all but after this move there will be no use of this

It's not just oil that slows through Malacca.

During war oil and gas are the major requirements other things can be kept quite for some period
Other things will not affect them much

It's not just their requirements that we need to watch out for, we need to consider our requirements too in such a calculation. We get almost 90% of our oil from our Western flank, and with Chinese bases teeming in the region- Djibouti, Gwadar (possibly being readied) and whatever surprise China is going to pull in the region next, and also their holdouts in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, we need to be cautious of their activities. Their supplies to these bases will have to pass through Malacca (unless CPEC ever gets realized). Formulation of a plan by the IN as such is a necessity, regardless of where the Chinks get their oil, or trade even for that matter ( with the Northern Sea Route over the Artic expected to open up, given the rate of warming there, global trade in and out of China is expected to shift significantly further to the North).

You are right on Oil & gas and other major requirements.
but, it does not rule the fact that their Navy would not be participating in the war when we siege Malacca.

Good luck to their army and airforce fighting us in Himalayas.
it would be hilariously tragic - for chinese.

U r basically naming strings of pearls set for us
I understand
But there us time for them to cause problems in IOR but they will surely some and maybe in 10-51 deploy 1 cbg in IOR
It's necessary for us to induct capital ships order more p-17a and ngd seems far away better go for further p-15 variants and importantly timely order second Vikrant class which they have decided

Allright.

Can deduce some things from the headlines itself.

Does that mean the snowfall was considerably weaker than expected? If so, rather alarming news for our water supply up in the Himalayas.

No bhai sahab snow melted early due to high heat this year
It's not first time there has been snow melting early this year anyway there will be tremendous heat waves in India.

Winter was short this year. Arrived a month late and a lot less severe.

Folks in Leh/Ladakh were saying average temperature though in the negative was higher by almost 15-20 degrees towards Feb end this year.

Not good news from a water supply perspective. We could be facing drought and severe water supply issues.

In Doklam Standoff, Bhutan PM's China Comment Raises Concern In India

In Doklam Standoff, Bhutan PM's China Comment Raises Concern In India

Six years after Indian and Chinese soldiers faced off in Doklam, Bhutan's Prime Minister has said Beijing has an equal say in finding a resolution to the dispute over the high-altitude plateau which Delhi believes has been illegally occupied by China

There is a 2012 agreement to this effect -

In this context, the Indian side has underlined that the two Governments had in 2012 reached agreement that the tri-junction boundary points between India, China and third countries will be finalized in consultation with the concerned countries. Any attempt, therefore, to unilaterally determine tri-junction points is in violation of this understanding.

Though some people are concerned, the statement made by the Bhutan PM might not cause that much concern in MEA.

another admirable aspect of china is, they are playing with U.S from within U.S, playing with europe from within europe.

south america, africa and asia were anyways there.
