China’s military in a statement late on Monday accused India of “outrageously firing warning shots” in a new confrontation on September 7 on the south bank of Pangong Lake in the Chushul sector, which has seen escalating tensions for the past week.

While the Indian Army was yet to confirm the events as of Monday night, China’s military described Monday’s confrontation as “a serious military provocation”.

Anyone else notice that India did not start to have a rapid increase in Covid-19 cases until they started pushing back on China?

China is long due for an @ss whoopin’. They haven’t had one in the modern era and until that happens they won’t change course.

Definitely. It’s happening already. Trump also said in one of his rallies that he is going to make China “pay” for Covid 19. A lot of interesting things will happen over the next few years if Trump is re elected.

Seems like so many countries are “provoking” China these days. India, Australia, the United States.

China is looking for a short, high intensity war to bleed off excess population and to distract their populace from their problems (and from holding their leaders responsible.)

The Sikhs are Indian but they are an offshoot of Hinduism. They EAT MEAT, which Hindus won't touch. SO, the Sikhs have big, hefty men and are India's Army and police.

Meat is the source of ANIMAL protein so all you vegetarians LET IT GO.

Also, the Sikh men also DON'T cut their--ever, so hair has to be WRAPPED up in a turban. They ARE fierce looking and the Sikh WOMEN would trash the Hindu men if push came to shove. No meat?
The Chinese used to give all their meat to their army since they also know the importance of meat "on the hoof." And when they first entered worldwide Olympic games their people LOST like nobody's business.
Since SAVING FACE is uber important to the Chinese they started feeding meat to their Olympic teams. They CLEANED HOUSE.
I saw one skinny Chinese guy do the IRON CROSS on the still rings. That shrimperooni was awesome.

China and India BOTH claim to be the oldest culture in the world. That means a lot for some reason.
However, as China loathes its females, baby to granny, while the Indians LOVE their children. My husband and I traveled to BOTH countries and my money is on India.

Female infanticide? When amniocentesis became available SO many female fetuses were aborted that poor Chinese men could find NO wives. Those men were called the "BARE BRANCHES."

I repeat: my money is on India.

You're right of course. If they could FIND A WAY to put their females on the battlefield and try to fight with men, they'd do it in a New York minute.
It would get rid of those nasty females and save their precious men for "better things," whatever that is.

Missing the "etc." at the end. ... Vietnam, Korea (both of them), Japan, Taiwan, etc. The only wimps not provoking them are the Philipines (chickens).

Hard to eat mean when there is no meat involved.

Google search
After the fourth century B.C., when the practice of vegetarianism spread throughout India among Buddhists, Jains and Hindus, many Hindus continued to eat beef. In the time of the oldest Hindu sacred text, the Rig Veda (c. 1500 B.C.), cow meat was consumed.

How many is "many"??

It’s actually the other way around in China at the moment. One Child had *huge* negative ramifications - they now have literally millions of men (IIRC, 38 million) who have no hope of ever getting a wife and slim hope of ever getting a girlfriend. That’s because due to traditional culture, couples chose to abort their girls and have a son instead. They had to end One Child once the imbalance became blatantly obvious.

The Taiwanese have women in front line combat roles, but that’s less for any diversity reasons and a lot more because they don’t really have much of a choice. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2018/05/31/2003694021

I believe NOTHING that comes out of the Chinese press. They LIE!

Well, that should demonstrate the Chinese attitude towards women: EXPENDABLE.
On the battlefront??? Wow, great way to slash the female population...put them on the Front Line.

No choice? Pul-eeeze. You CAN'T believe that lie.
They don't have the same Judeo-Christian-Islamic standards that we do. None of those faiths devalue women and put them in COMBAT.
Nor do the Hindus and Mulsims allow abortion.
Israel DOES have female soldiers but they are NOT on the front line expecting to fight against men.

Lord have mercy on those poor women and girls.
