Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
Why does India have any dealings with these basta*ds? Indians should show some pride, and boycott everything Chinese. Ban everyone Chinese from entering India. Okay, pay a little more for an Indian or non-Chinese alternative.

The map should include that section of the lake, which is entirely within India. And preferably depict the 'finger' areas which are under contention.

Even if there is disengagement or even withdrawal, India must not let down its guard, or cease its infrastructure efforts in Ladakh et al.
And the economic disengagement with China must continue apace. China has been allowed to obtain far too much influence in the Indian economy.
