no thanks
its a china india territorial dispute
not ours
know what things NOT to get involved with
Maybe we could supply India with the weaponry to deter or defeat the Chinese (at reasonable prices).
We could thereby gain one of the world’s biggest arms markets, and take it from Russia (which is increasingly in bed with China).
As the article points out, just an economic decoupling of India from China, will weaken the Chinese strategically over time.
Its kind of a big deal, with many factors, many variables shifting over time. But the Chinese killing a bunch of Indian soldiers, and seizing some Indian land, seems to be a making a pretty big shift in India - driving them toward the US and its allies, on many fronts.
If India plays its cards right, it could pick up a lot of the business that is getting pulled out from China - a once in a generation opportunity, perhaps the only one of this magnitude that could ever be available to a country as big as India. There is that strong incentive, at the same time that the strong stick of Chinese aggression is driving them in the same direction.
Flipping India into active competition/opposition to China, would be a major geostrategic shift.
