For China to get FTA from India, they will need to basically disown Pakistan and start becoming India's Best Friend.
Otherwise, I don't see how it will even be possible for India to begin to even consider it.

Trade should be balanced first. Trade deficit should be reduced.

We should aim at exporting more of finished goods rather than exporting raw materials. It will generate more employment in India. Anti dumping duties should be levied wherever our industry is threatened because of cheap imports.

Arrow is the trijunction aka Doklam, higher ground, a plateau. Circle is the Chinese road inside Indian area. The both countries are in standoff because from trijunction they can easily bring the Indian post under control and vice versa. View attachment 19507

As Doklam Crisis Ends, Chinese Bulldozers Move Out: Government Sources
The standoff began in mid-June after Chinese troops started building a road on the Doklam plateau.
Reported by Nidhi Razdan, Edited by Bhanu Priya Vyas | Updated: Aug 28, 2017 18:47 IST

Doklam issue: The breakthrough comes ahead of PM Narendra Modi's visit to China for BRICS summit.

Story Highlights
  • Both sides withdraw troops from Doklam plateau, says India
  • India objected to China building a new road in Doklam
  • China is removing bulldozers, will continue patrols
New Delhi: China and India have agreed to end a lengthy standoff at the Sikkim border that began in June, with Beijing reportedly abandoning plans to construct a road that had triggered the crisis.

India said both sides are moving to withdraw their troops from the remote Doklam Plateau, a region that both China and Bhutan claim. Beijing said it would continue to patrol the area, but agreed that given Monday's developments, it will make "necessary adjustments and deployments according to the changes."


The standoff began in mid-June after Chinese troops started building a road on the Doklam plateau. Indian soldiers rushed to stop that, triggering the worst military tension in decades with China. Government sources today told NDTV that Chinese bulldozers have been moved out the flashpoint area.

The breakthrough comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trip to China in a few weeks for a summit of the BRICS group of nations.

Announcing a breakthrough on Monday morning, India said the truce was reached by diplomatic talks. "On this basis, expeditious disengagement of border personnel at the face-off site at Doklam has been agreed to and is on-going" said the Foreign Ministry in a statement. In the evening, it said the "disengagement" was near completion for both countries.

China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said "At 1430 or so on August 28, India withdrew its personnel and equipment to the Indian side of the border line." While stating that the Chinese army's patrols in Doklam will continue, she said China would make "necessary adjustments and deployments according to the changes," without elaborating what the adjustments would be.

The conflict, which was the worst in decades, saw 300 soldiers from each side, confronting each other on the remote Doklam plateau in the Eastern Himalayas.

In June, Indian soldiers crossed the Sikkim border to stop China from constructing a road on the Doklam Plateau. Bhutan has no diplomatic relations with China and asked India to intervene. Delhi also stressed that it had forewarned China that the road would be seen as a serious security concern because of the access it opens up to the narrow sliver of land called the "Chicken's Neck" that links India to its northeastern states.

China retorted that it had every right to build a road in a region that is part of its territory. India ignored repeated baiting and aggressive rhetoric by China to insist it would seek diplomatic channels to resolve the tension. India had also urged that both sides withdraw troops to engage in dialogue; Beijing insisted on the unilateral pulling out of India's soldiers.

Two weeks ago, Chinese and Indian soldiers clashed at the picturesque Pangong Lake in Ladakh in the Western Himalayas. On camera, soldiers were seen hurtling stones at each other. Delhi said the two-hour conflict was triggered by China attempting an incursion onto the Indian side of the lake.

Well this thing ended without shots fired.

I hope this opened the eyes of our gormint and generals in the armed forces that china is a much much much bigger conventional as well as hybrid threat(they will fuel NE insurgency as well as naxal insurgency).

We should now prepare for a two front war seriously.

With most of our armour-air power and artillery placed on the paki border,we are not prepared to fight a full fledged two front war.-or a two front war of attrition.

Now is the high time to step up intelligence agencies and we should start planting moles in the CCP and pak military.
Spend on domestic infra for defence,a million plus army can not fight on more than 70% imported maal.

As a stop gap measure we have purchased ULH and SP howitzers,that's really good,we need to do even better-buy lch and lca in numbers(these two will keep chicoms military misadventure in check),buy atags and dhanush guns(our arty equipment is in dire need of upgrades).Work on all weather roads in NE and mountainous terrains.
Chinese will increase military activity in IOR for sure,get some subs and a SOSUS type system.

Now for hybrid threat we should maintain a close watch on chinese military movements from the ground ,hire some Tibetans and Uighurs.


And most importantly-kick corruption out of our military establishment.Ask them to buy Deshi equipment in numbers as we cannot allow nor afford to fund foreign military complex.

:shock::shock::shock:

N Korea just launched a missile that flew over Japan.

S Korea is doing a drill that simulates taking out the leadership of N Korea. :scared2:

Is this a result of China's India frontier getting freed up?
