Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
It's great to see the way we have responded to Chinese posturing on the border, as it's well known that they only respect power. Though, it's still not clear why they are acting out in this manner, the resolve that we have shown in the form to ability to mobilize and push ahead with projects will su...

Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
We can't place an ad hoc and blanket ban on Chinese imports of exports as it'll cause an economic shock that we can do without right now.
