DNA Edit: China's warmongery
Not an ambassador of peace
The dogs of war are growling and if the India-China-Bhutan standoff in the Doklam plateau escalates, they would soon be upon us. However, even before things come to such a pass, the Chinese media, it seems, is egging on its government to flex its military muscles against India and teach New Delhi "a bitter lesson". It isn't only the Chinese media that is so eagerly, and so brusquely, baiting war.
Even the Chinese ambassador to India Luo Zhaohui has jumped into the fray saying that there is no possibility of a compromise and that the Indian government must unconditionally step back to the Indian side of the border. This is a specious statement from the Chinese ambassador and is largely in line with China's stratagem of playing the victim. By his statements, the ambassador seeks to present the picture that Chinese territorial sovereignty has been violated when the actual case is anything but that.
China's unwarranted aggrandisation under the garb of road construction has put paid to the bilateral talks between Bhutan and China over the control of the disputed 89 sq km region. India has little option but to stymie China's road construction as its communist government intends to connect the road all the way to Yadong, situated right in the heart of the strategically important Chumbi Valley. Control over the Doklam plateau is key to exercising influence in the entire region, and in times of war, the plateau will serve as an important station from which to deploy soldiers and capture 'chicken's neck' -- a military sobriquet for a caved-in strip of land that connects the Indian mainland to its northeastern regions.
Meanwhile, the Chinese media is stepping up the rhetoric and how. Retorting to Jaitley's comment that the India today is not the India of 1962, one establishment has said that Jaitley is right, in so far as India will suffer greater losses now compared to what it suffered in 1962 if it opts for a war. An aggressive projection of its strength is a small but essential element of Chinese psy-ops. One can safely rely upon the Chinese media and its government functionaries to dredge up memories of 1962, time and again.
However, this is no time to allow patriotic sentimentality to prevail over cold, hard calculations. Indian mandarins must pursue a two-fold policy. One the one hand, there must be strong, effective diplomatic steps that de-escalate tension between the two nations, while on the other hand, armed forces must be mobilised on a massive scale to strengthen our presence in Doklam plateau. This requires a steely diplomatic prowess that is also able to capture the world's attention and bring pressure to bear on China from the global community.

I'm glad President Trump received PM Modi with open arms.
Doggone China. Seems tyrants everywhere are getting chips on their shoulders.
Might be time that India will serve up some karma curry to China.
“...India will serve up some karma curry to China.”
I can see that by my Third Eye.
Last time China attacked someone to “teach them a lesson” was Vietnam in 1979. That didn’t work out so well for them. They lost a lot of men and all they accomplished was showing their military was bloated and outdated.
Gotta give the Chicoms credit for effort...
Since Mao they went into Siberia and Ivan handed them their azz. Then the Chicoms invaded Vietnam and had their azz handed to them.
Then they invaded India, and guess what?
An A for effort.

“able to capture the world’s attention and bring pressure to bear on China from the global community.”
This is going to be impossible.
The media throughout the world makes its living from the marketing of goods produced in China.
The media, everywhere, belongs to China.
So, whatever China does is ‘right’- or at least excusable.
They have to have a distraction from Trump pushing China to do something about their bastard province North Korea.

Your history lesson conveniently overlooks when Mao sent his army across the Yalu river. I guess when dissing the Chicoms its important to not credit them for kicking MacArthur's ass back across the 38th...

Since it appears that military action is not in the works I am beginning to
think that we should do a grand bargain with China. Give them part of the South China Sea in exchange for them effecting regime change in
NK and turning the territory over to the South Koreans. Give them whatever it takes. Make a deal.
It’s been suggested that Deng Xiao Peng wanted the PLA knocked down a peg or 2. If he did, it was sheer genius to let them off the leash to get mauled by Vietnam. I’m not so sure that was the original ‘play’ however. More likely an after-the-fact distancing from the warmongers when things didn’t go so well.
But what would we give them the next week?
Seriously, they’re very clumsy and crude in their diplomacy. They need to use the ‘velvet glove’ once in a while.
