They intimidated Vietnam and the Philippines. and got compliance by olive green dick-waving. I don't think they expected that taking over a little plateau in Bhutan and spouting the bullshit about 1890 agreement etc would lead to India actually preparing for war, And preparations for war - while not advertised were clearly visible to those who were looking for such signs. Further confirmation from reports in the last few days - the Doklam area defences (offensive forces actually?) were beefed up making Chinese military moves untenable. They could see that.

As I pointed out earlier - a link from Prasad
https://warontherocks.com/2017/08/count ... of-doklam/

China used the same playbook in Doklam as it has in other territorial disputes, especially Vietnam and the Philippines. This playbook usually involves four elements. The first step is to develop a larger or more permanent physical presence in areas where China has already has a degree of de facto control — whether that means new islands in the South China Sea or roads in the Himalayas. Using its military to build infrastructure in the Doklam area was likely an attempt to consolidate China’s control along its southwestern border, including this disputed area where it has patrolled for some time.
...
China’s playbook, however, did not go according to plan this time, because it did not account for India’s unexpectedly swift and assertive response to its road-building. India did not simply voice displeasure or threaten to punish China if it continued to pursue its territorial claims as the United States and Southeast Asian countries have done in the South China Sea. In those cases, China used its coercive playbook effectively, forcing its adversaries to either back down or raise the ante. And as China’s uncontested gains have shown, its adversaries have generally lacked the capabilities, and especially the political resolve, to escalate crises.

But in this situation, India thwarted China’s coercion through denial — blocking China’s attempt to seize physical control of the disputed territory.

The moment some country in Asia has a problem with China, others need to start asking China to adhere to international norms and pull back. If Mongolia, or Vietnam or Philippines or India or Japan or Taiwan feel any pressure from China, others need to speak up.

That way, the Chinese people would start feeling that it is China that stands alone in Asia and the world and has no friends.

There is a need for all countries to be outspoken, and not "just mind their business".

Agree. But the biggest problem with this and I wrote about this previously is that all the countries you named: Mongolia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines and even Japan contributes to PRC power by trading with it.

Again, the PRC is not a military power. It is a trading manufacturing nation that builds lots of aircraft, ships and tanks to intimidate not fight wars.

Unless we or someone else can replace Cheen as the center of Asian trade and supply chain the chinis will never feel alone. Just look at Japan's trade and tourism numbers with the PRC compared to us. The prospect of that changing is nil as long as our economy is so much smaller.

Kicking their arse militarily is a far more likely and profitable solution.

Despite all the economic and military power China now wields, one thing they don't want is to be seen as warmongers, as someone who initiated a border war, because that would mean Chinese image as a responsible UNSC member and world's prime export-country would go up in smoke.

It is one thing for China to come down heavy on its minorities and to wage some side-war against Uyghurs, or to even threaten Taiwan because all that is considered internal issues or some trouble under One-China Policy. However waging a border war against Mongolia, Vietnam, India, Philippines, etc. would not just mean China would be considered as some an "evil power", it would have severe economic consequences, as China would be seen as aggressor, warmonger, bully.

So China tries to keep all its conflicts and territory grabs under a certain level of conflagration. But bullying is China's nature and cannot let go of it.

So it pays to stand up to China.

Facing resistance from other members, China aborts bid to enlarge BRICS

BEIJING: China aborted its attempt to create a permanent BRICS Plus feature and invite other countries to join in following resistance from the other members of the five-nation grouping, including India, who apprehend dilution of BRICS's goals if other counties, including Beijing's close allies, are brought in.

The next BRICS summit, scheduled for September 3 and 4 in the Chinese city of Xiamen, will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of host China, and member nations Russia, Brazil and South Africa.

Speaking at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi indicated that Beijing has not been able to convince other members about its BRICS Plus plans.

"We need to have some further explanation about BRICS Plus to help people better understand the rationale of this idea," Wang said. At the same time, Wang defended Beijing's move to expand BRICS's role and influence by inviting other countries, and make it more capable of creating a multi-polar world instead of one dominated by Western countries.

China has invited five non-BRICS countries to attend the Xiamen summit but this will be a temporary arrangement limited to this summit. It's a privilege of the host country. India, which held a summit in Goa last year, had invited several neighbouring countries, Wang said.

Pakistan, regarded as China's closest ally, is not among the five countries Beijing invited. These are Thailand, Egypt, Tajikistan, Mexico and Guinea, representing five different continents, that play a key role in China's One Belt One Road (OBOR) programme that involves construction of transport networks across dozens of countries.

China has been campaigning for the creation of a permanent BRICS Plus arrangement to enable non-BRICS countries to play an active role, sources said. BRICS had started off with four members and Beijing was instrumental in bringing in South Africa at a later stage. Critics say China wants to expand the BRICS mechanism as a means to garner wider influence for itself.

"It's in the interests of all sides to strengthen cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries through BRICS; therefore, China has proposed the BRICS plus concept based on past experiences," Wang said.

Modi announced his decision to attend the meeting after the two countries agreed to end the border standoff at Doklam near Sikkim but tensions between the two Himalayan neighbours has not evaporated. There are indications Beijing agreed to settle the dispute because it feared disruption of the conference if Modi decided to stay away.

"What's important is that we put these problems in the appropriate place, and appropriately handle and control them in the spirit of mutual respect and based on the consensus of both countries' leaders," Wang said. "There is huge potential for cooperation between China and India," he said.

Wang also said, "China stands ready to work with other BRICS countries to make BRICS cooperation bigger, stronger and more solid to benefit not only the five BRICS countries, but also the whole world." How about making all UN Members as Members of the U N Security Council?

One doesn't go to war because we have all the shiny weapons required. We go to war because we have to. The shiny new Pattons didn't help the Pakis in 65.
As my Mother in law, retd IA Colonel, just told me, "The man behind the machine matters more than the machine."

The reasons to be happy are:
1) This was a synchronised show between IA, IAF, IN, MEA, MOD, all coordinated and directed by PMO. There was not a misstep. Commendable.

2) The first time Chinese helped the Nation was in 1962, when they stopped the dissolution of IA by the Chief Bandit.
The current generation was being lulled into accepting the "benevolent" ComChins. Here the large hearted Chincoms stepped into arrest that sentiment with "Le Affaire Doklam".

3) We have created a template for other countries to follow. More importantly created a template for us to repeat. Now the Chincoms have to rethink their 3W or whatever warfare strategy they have devised.

4) We have a really good excuse to review our deals with them. Such as the Pharma purchase, telecom contracts, anti-dumping measures.

5) Perception in World Capitals matter and here the Indian diplomats will get a boost.

6) The Indian armed forces definitely got a boost from the backing they received from the Govt and all sections of the society. They stared the Dragon down in front of the eyes of their own countrymen. Izzat matters!

All the above points doesn't mean that we sit on our collective backsides, for now, just enjoy the moment for what it is - a defining moment in India China engagements.

This is only a chapter in the new book, more to be written. I sincerely hope and pray that we write the epilogue as we have written the prologue.

Happy on Jacob's position is on very predictable lines. His sole prescription for the Indian Government in any challenge to the authority of the Indian State is, "engage". Thus, we must engage with China, engage with Pakistan, Kashmiris, Naxals and so on. As if China has no obligations to proactively engage as in don't build a road in what someoneelse regards as his territory. He must have been a diary in his previous birth.

Oh, no.

China offers many such 'package deals' to every country which are loaded entirely in its favour and China violates them in due course. Dai Bingguo, the legendary Special Representative on the border issue said, “If the Indian side takes care of China’s concerns in the eastern sector of their border, the Chinese side will respond accordingly and address India’s concerns elsewhere.". By this they meant Tawang to go to China and then they would offer to India lands that anyway belonged to India but which China claims as its own.

The same is the case in Bhutan. It offers a package by which, it will give up Bhutanese lands in the north for the Bhutanese Dolam Plateau in the south!

It takes away the EEZ of Philippines because it falls under its arbitrary and imaginary nine dashes and in spite of a stern ruling from UNCLOS but then it offers a package deal for joint exploration of oil & gas. It gave a similar 'joint development' package deal to Japan in the disputed East China Sea and then sucked out all the gas from the Japanese side too illegally.

NSG is India's right by way of its technological achievements, its scrupulous adherence to non-proliferation, its status as a potential supplier of nuclear material for peaceful purposes and its status as a nuclear power. China may stand in the way because decisions are arrived at by unanimity in the NSG but India is not looking to gain entry there by the 'benevolence' of the Chinese Emperor. It will happen on India's own right.

I don't know how many read the interesting article posted above. It concludes thus:

Many analysts, convinced by the Chinese rhetoric, assume that the Chinese will ultimately resort to an attack. Hence, India will be better off withdrawing immediately.

India, on the other hand has called for a mutual withdrawal. To achieve this, it needs to convince China that it has ripped out its steering wheel and will not swerve.

When both players are convinced that the other will attack, the game will collapse to the (Stay, Stay) outcome. This means the conflict ends at the original Prisoner’s Dilemma game.

Then the two countries must cooperate to reach the mutually beneficial outcome of mutual withdrawal instead of needlessly expending resources in a futile standoff.

Shielding known terrorists and terror outfits and keeping India out of the NSG membership are also v.serious inimical acts against India.At BRICS we must call a spade a spade.

Fantastic!!!

This is really China's dilemma! Portray India too much as an equal military and economic rival, and the Chinese regime loses all legitimacy in eyes of the people. That is why China will also never allow India to be part of the UNSC Permanent Veto-carrying members. Chinese people would start asking how come India gets to party all night and still passes the exam next day with flying colors, whereas Chinese have no democracy or freedoms and have a military power only equal or even inferior to that of India. So Chinese react with downplaying India, ignoring India or trying to humiliate India.

The day India's governance, political stability, economy, military and technologically prowess surpasses that of China, Chinese regime would be ripe for full scale implosion.

Basically this same phenomenon is to be seen with Pakistan. Since Pakistan cannot respond to India conventionally, it does so through terror and Islamic Radicalization under the umbrella of nuclear blackmail. The day India and Hindus manage to neutralize and castrate Islamic bombast in the Subcontinent, there would be a flood of Ghar Wapsi applications, because all are in the end ethnically Subcontinentals, irrespective of the four-fathers of Pakistani Elite.

Indian and Hindu Virāṭata and Pracanḍata are extremely dangerous for regimes in China and Pakistan.

The Chins are suffering from a deep inferiority complex vis-a-vis India.Indian philosophy,culture and religion spread throughout Asia even into China, through Buddhism and Hinduism.The rump of the ASEAN region was called Indo-China.Yet despite Buddhism peacefully spreading across China,Japan and Korea too,Hinduism in other parts too,Confucism and Chinese philosophy and its current fervent anti-religion campaign has had ziltch takers in 1.4 billion strong India and in other ASian countries!
Wherever the Chinese go today they are detested for their arrogance and uncouth behaviour. This is not the behaviour of simpletons or village bumpkins,but an inverted superiority complex accompanied by sneers. Have you seen a Chinese smile at another foreigner? I've seen so many of them abroad but they rarely do. Locals are considered inferior.Their press on the Doklam issue displayed a singular lack of civility.Sev. of our ministers were shocked at the level of venom directed against India.

As in that classic comedy "The Party" starring the great Peter Sellers,his epic line.."we Indians don't think who we are,we know who we are" is one for the ages.It completely described "the Indian".He may be materially poor,travel on a camel or cart,live in a thatched-roof hut,eat humble dal and roti,wear khadi,but he is rooted to the land whose culture,religion and traditions span millennia ,which he adores,cherishes and loves with all his heart and soul. He knows who he is and where he came from.India.

As the outcome was as exactly recommended by the game, it means that the assumptions made were correct (reminding that the report was atleast 15 days before the deal was reached)

The basic assumption is that the both sides would be cooperative.

The outcome came only after Eleven replaced the western commander with someone who has no knowledge of mountain warfare.

In that case,
1. There are some elements in PLA who are not cooperating and that was the basic reason the conflict prolonged for unusually longer period.

2. PLA is not rational when it's steering wheel is broken for so long.

3. One more year of standoff could have lead to PLA doing something stupid which would have lead to bloodying it's nose.

4. India was begging Hans to co-operate. (What I mean to say is that India was looking for a diplomatic solution for a very advantageous military manuvre, and we gave up the advantage)

Just realized because of this success of Modi GOI any future attempt by China to influence the Indian public opinion against Modi by trying a similar stunt will not work at least not to the same extent.

Many folks will draw the correct conclusions from this episode.
1. Firm stand and silent diplomacy works.
2. GOI will not back down even if resolution is not pronto.
3. Modi has done it once and can pull it off again. This will enhance Public confidence in him on defense at least.

For most Modi is now a battle hardened General especially the way he made the Chinese back off. It will allow him latitude to peruse resolution as he sees it fit and allow for longer time. The chance of the Chinese trying to upend Indian election by pulling similar stunt is gone.

Also, this standoff was accompanied by *more than the usual* psyops, at least in the Indian context. It was over the top and it almost seemed that war was imminent. One just has to look at the writing of *so called* Indian experts to realize how great an impact that was having. I don't watch TV so can't speak of their content.

It won't work anymore at least not with the Indian public and not to the extent it had this time. Psyops got blunted with their silent withdrawal. A case of the boy who cried wolf too many times. Next time, to make the Indian public this anxious, they will have to start a shooting match.

The gang is really gone bonkers. They want Modi to make peace with the Bakis at *any cost* but when Modi tries Lahore or allows Baki team access to Pathankot they use those backstabbings by Bakis as a stick to beat him with.

In the Indian mind the Chinese loom larger than life since 1962 and Modi has successfully stared them down. His stock on defense couldn't go higher except for a repeat of 1971. So now any misstep on Bakistan will be forgiven as "A sincere man with a good heart trying to make peace with the Bakis". Imagine that! It must be galling to see their only stick on defense and national security being snatched away.

Looks like One child policy is screwing up the lizzies left, right and center. Imagine the furor it will create if they come back in body bags, if these trends continue, then Pe El Yea will have to import soldiers from the neighboring countries/Africa.

More than 55 per cent of the 1,233 youngsters who tried out for the army in one unnamed city in Hubei province failed the test in recent weeks – mainly because of vision and weight issues, the People’s Liberation Army Daily reported on Wednesday.

...Li Xianggui, chief director of a hospital in Jingzhou, told the newspaper he had seen a significant decline in fitness levels in the 20 years he had been involved in the military’s physical exams.

Although living standards were rising, many young people had unhealthy diets and more were overweight, he said.

..“In general, the physical condition of young people wanting to sign up is not ideal, but we can’t lower our standards when it comes to finding troops,” Gao Jindong, a military division commander in Jingzhou, was quoted as saying.
