I called it.

AIPEC nations and those who depend on the shipping lanes at risk of chinas bogus territorial claims will eventually result in a shooting war with China eventually losing so typically their phony confederation will be ended and seeing 57 distinct ethnic minorities finally freed, China will be reduced to less than 500 million Mandarins.

That is the true and ethnic makeup of the Chinese.

The Tibetans, Urahgryrs, et al will retreat to their ethnic zones never to be bothered by Red China again.

The Indian Navy (IN) may not have numbers on their side, but I do think they do have a slighter edge in training esp with regards to carrier ops. USN and IN regularly have exercises. IN and USN once had exercises with the Singapore, Japanese and Australian navies. I believe this also included exercises with the US Marines and IN Marcos. (Malabar Exercise Link)

IN has operated carriers and knows a few things about it as opposed to PRC-Navy which is learning the ropes now. Now if only the IN gets its 3 carriers in time, but like all things Indian (or Russian in one case) things take their own sweet time.

But gotta hand it to PRC-Navy for pushing their development in numbers and capability off-late.
