https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7rNOHc6h1U Interesting views from Subramanian Swamy. This was posted on the 18th. Many may not like or share his views, but gives a perspective. Some good questions at the end. Unable to agree on some of his views, but he has made some very astute observations in th...

Ravi_B I hope you will write up your 2-part post as an article for publication. Your credentials as a Chinese language speaker make yours a specially valuable perspective. I would be happy to but the publication venue makes a big difference. I am an academic and there's a requirement for me to be n...

Thank you for your kindness Vadivel ji

RaviB, brilliant analysis of the Chinese mind. An eye-opener and very perceptive. Wish India had China study centers which were generating these kind of reports and advising the government and publishing papers, writing in the media. All major powers have such study centers studying countries of in...

It prevents at least one axis for an Indian push into Aksai Chin and the G-219 . It does allow China to build a road linking G-219 to POK. There will be no trade via this route just as there is virtually no trade on the KKH. This is purely a road for rapid movement of military equipment, logistics ...

Makes sense Ravi ji. But I think they are grossly underestimating the capacity of US to unite and fight. US is the most jingo nation on the planet. How do you think the see Russia - a long term ally of India - in this equation ? I suppose Europe is seen by them as irrelevant. They see Russia as bei...

Raviji - XiPing is the direct supreme commander of PLA and him sending his trusted General I am assuming means that from Chinese perspective there is a plan that XiPing is personally overseeing. Xi Jinping is the head of the Central Military Commission, which means he is certainly aware of this and...

Part 2 and conclusion of previous post Sir, you are a genius. You have left out no point, yet have made it clear what/whom we are dealing with, with the least verbiage. It is amazing. It's too bad BRF marks you as "Trainee" when you are more than a "Trainer". You are a "Gur...

RaviB, Thank you for the insights. I had posted a similar analysis a few pages ago, with the following options for India: There are 3 things that will make China reconsider its attitude and approach towards India: 1. India is able to bring along powerful allies willing to fight -> changes the power...

Fantastic posts RaviBji. My pranams

Thank you, it is your large-heartedness Mukeshji.

The first military conflict between Indians and Chinese was in 7th Century AD, when a Chinese governor of Tibet & Nepal invaded Bihar in support of one of the successor-claimants of Harshavadana in a civil war (after Harsha's death and crumbling of his short-lived empire). And the Indian claim ...

Part 2 and conclusion of previous post How China sees itself China is not a Communist country: It is a country ruled by a communist party, that's the extent of its communism. In some ways it is like Post-Soviet republics of the USSR with a hyper-capitalist, robber baron, crony capitalist oligarchy....

I have been following the discussion closely and I think it would be useful to see the Chinese side of this. What are they up to in Ladakh? What are they fighting for? Why now? [This became rather long so I'll add the rest in a second post] PART 1 My post goes a bit in the understanding China direct...

How credible is this given that disinformation is flying left and right https://twitter.com/UndergroundSilk/status/1273500492652519425 Add to it the insane and unconnected tweets from Global Times and ilk. Conflicting messages classic. He's a Baba Banaras level character. A lot of videos and news h...

This is very much necessary. Posts of grieving families of soldiers are circulating everywhere on Chinese social media and as you can imagine are being misused. What are they saying? I know it wouldn't be any good but we need to know the enemy. How is their public is reacting to this? I posted some...

I've seen Major Gaurav Arya's latest report on the events at LAC. It was disappointing on 2 counts: 1. Nothing new was said, analyses by India Today were ahead of the curve compared to what R-TV came up with. 2. Images of grieving families of our soldiers killed in action in loop used as a public s...

People on Chinese social media are relying on DrAPR psyops account

Chinese social media is abuzz with the talk of 90 casualties on their side.

I checked Weibo. Nobody there seems to have a clue of the numbers. The information has probably been censored.

Rakeshji, I'll do that from now on. I just thought it might be useful to look into the Chinese public mood as reflected on their SM.

Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I know some Chinese and was giving a first hand account of what I read. I wasn't quoting someone else.

^^^ Twitter has some weibo trending stuff translated but it's mostly about pop stars and starlets (not that I mind looking at those.) The mil stuff is pretty much useless. Someone who can read that stuff first hand would be quite useful! My Chinese is extremely rusty but with a dictionary + google ...

abhik wrote:I think RaviB's post was hes reading from chinese SM, and not twitter.

Abhikji, yes that's right.

After the speech of PM Modi, there is some fresh anger, also allegations that Trump is behind the incident. Where did you read this? Also on Weibo. I spent some more time looking around. There is plenty of racist stuff and talking about 3D printing, which is a pun referring to bashing up Indians. G...

I hope it's ok to post this here, it's intended to give a peek into Chinese SM. I decided to look at weibo to see what the Chinese are saying. Currently the 2nd most popular trend is about China and India agreeing to resolve the situation peacefully. Many of the posters are angry that the government...
