This guy is a loose cannon. rajrang, Maj Gen Luo Yuan cannot be dismissed as such because he is one of their chief strategists. Good point - in which case his comments are orchestrated and are aligned with the top leadership. However, his nonsense about recovering territory from Russia with which C...

The mainland Chinese govt are being stupid beyond measure. Is this what their Sun Tzu teaches them? To constantly provoke their otherwise lethargic neighbours, who will then become actual threats. This guy is a loose cannon. Still, China's arrogance is probably driven by their meteoric economic ris...

It is very clear that the Chinese aggression on the LAC has this important component: Chinese pique at growing Indian relationship with all of China's neighbours with whom China has border disputes.

The ball is now in the court of the armed forces,the IA in particular ,to list out to the GOI the urgent requirements which are essential for them to defend the country.If the GOI prevaricates,then they should publicly enlighten the nation as to who is endangering its security from within.

Did the US play a behind the scenes role - for the simple reason that they cannot accept China to become the dominant power in the Himalayas (even if India is willing to accept that status)?

The logic is as follows. China is stronger than India, so they can capture Indian territory. This will be a permanent loss. Alternatively India in a stronger embrace of US, with a loss of some Indian independence. This will be a temporary loss. Here is a possible analogy. The British rule of India ...

First of all,as I have been saying and doing for aeons,stop calling the Indo-China Sea the South China Sea!

Rajrang garu, Few years ago I started developing a small model to quantify India's foreign relations and how different nation-states can be scored/ranked based on their actions/inactions. The model goes like this. Each country's initial strength is an weighted sum of its area, people, natural resou...

Rohitvats, As you have mentioned already, Bhutan remains the weak link in the whole Eastern sector.

If they have made claims over Western Bhutanese territory since 1989, its basic...

If PRC decides to move several (?) divisions to the Indian border, they can take weeks/months to do so. What should India's response be? Move soldiers from the plains to the mountains? The way I see it, China seems happy to put diplomatic pressure on India. They seem to have rightly calculated that...

Here is my wild guess - the rulers of TSP (military et al) have come to the conclusion that by becoming a friend of India they have a lot to GAIN PERSONALLY. This is due to India's open economy and fast growth rate and most importantly India tolerates corruption on a mega scale (tens of thousands of...

Playing around with Google Maps, it turns out that the distance from Trivandrum to the North East corner of China is 6500km.
