RM has already said what Chinese say and do are different. In that case why dont we just have the principle of saying "No" to anything the Chinese ask and see where they will go. Winter is anyways setting in. By now we would have figured out that any proposal from their side is only to im...

^^ there is a general hatred towards Chinese nowadays throughout the world... even clips that may be from North Korea are getting passed as Chinese - even in US. So given the objective everything is fair and square. But I agree - we should not let our guard down based on these clips..

I think the Chinis want us to announce first that we are withdrawing.. and chinis will say, their troops will move out for winter but will continue to patrol or something like that... probably dragging it towards winter to find the right excuse.

As expected, Chinis have been brushing up old runways in Tibet and Xinjang and modernise it. Their lack of PLAAF jets, can be easily rectified with building more runways and ALG, with field support setup. This means PLAAF will not be restricted by low fighter numbers. They add five more ALG type ai...

Ok... just checked... Dalai Lama's tweet was to state that he has sent a letter wishing Modi on his birthday. And he has shared the link to his letter and Modi was not tagged. So it is not a wish tweet - technically. I sincerely hope Modi responds to his letter and publicizes it.

What is SCS value to the Chini? I look at the map and the only thing I can think off is the access to IOR.
