"The movement of Indian troops, done in consultation with the Government of Bhutan and with the principal objective to maintain status quo, was probably not anticipated by China."

Maybe China should have had some of those 25,000 spies they have in the U.S. deployed to India and Bhutan instead.

China's strategic situation is interesting:

a) it's very difficult to attack its main area do to its geographical location and population size;

b) but its geographical position, hemmed in by mountains, desert, Siberia and island nations who are opponents makes it very difficult for it to project power.

Right now, it seems to be making the same rookie mistake Germany made in its rise by antagonizing everyone around it: even the Russians sent to missile batteries to the Russian Far East.

I have read that there are many in Bhutan that are concerned with India’s intervention here, as they consider the action may affect Bhutan’s sovereignty in that small province.

We’ll see what transpires over the next few weeks and months.

Interesting times indeed.

The Chinese have no respect for international waters and international boundaries. They are thugs. Anyone thinking we should cooperate with them doing anything strategic is a traitor inviting them in.

Thisis a winning Bismarkian move by India to crush China’s Napoleonic ambitions.

We should fully support this Indian peace initiative of Bismarkian method lest we end up in a situation like WWI but in Asia.

Fools whoever supports Chinese beligerence and hypocritical insult od the International order in any way.

China ... you think you’re hot egg drop soup, doncha?”

"EU Vice President..."

Isn't that, like, "Third Undersecretary to the Hall Monitor in Charge of Closet Space on Alternate Wednesdays"?

[Nifster]

Then Chinese leaders are stupid
