No and Vietnam wasnt comparable either.

Your so full of it that its coming out of your ears.

China hasnt the ability to fight a protracted war with any country around the Pacific rim without using their Nuclear weapons at this time.

Because first, they are incapable within their ranks, and second they do not know how to fight a tactical or strategic war.

Now if you want to compare their ability to use unconventional war methods, like what they just did to the USA and the rest of the world? Then you have a point. Since they have no issue with being charged with crimes against humanity...

What aspect of Vietnam are you talking about?

When you adjust for salary differences, they’ve been spending almost as much on their military as the US for the better part of a decade.

If they’re unable to fight any kind of protracted war, then India is likely less so. Re not knowing how to fight wars - they fought the US to a standstill in Korea, and that was when they basically had leg infantry and some artillery pieces. And in North Vietnam, while US forces were engaged in defending the South, the Chinese were present in the hundreds of thousands, providing a credible enough threat of direct intervention that both Nixon and LBJ held back from invading the North to deliver a coup de grace against Communist Vietnam. In 1979, they invaded Vietnam and wiped out Vietnam’s Gold Division in Lang Son, along with 100,000 hostile civilians in the time span of 4 weeks.

The Vietnamese certainly thought they were credible enough a military force to avoid moving more divisions into their area of operations. Since that time, they’ve mounted additional operations that evicted Vietnamese forces from disputed border positions.

And that was in the initial stages of China’s economic reforms, when the Chinese economy was roughly the same size as the Indian one. Today, that ratio is 5:1.
