India, China border dispute: Is China more powerful than India?
Does a panda bear piss in the woods?
A lot of China’s military is designed to project power into the South china sea or to invade Taiwan or to fight America on the ocean,
```
First two true, third not so much. China has no real blue water navy yet and cannot project naval power much past the SCS. Blue water fight between the run down US navy and China, China loses big time. Just imagine if the US Navy actually trained its people, instead of going 100% into woke social experimentation; if it actually built fighting ships, instead of extremely expensive inoperable toys for Pentagon admirals to brag about.
I’d love to see the Sikhs and Gurkhas kick some Chicom butt.

They lost last time.
I wonder how China could kick India’s ass in 1962, but couldn’t do the same to a smaller Vietnam in 1979 and all throughout the 1980’s...
We didn't beat Vietnam, neither.
One can always hope.
Lots of pessimism/defeatism on these threads — and that’s a general comment, not something I’m saying specific to this India-China mess.
One thing I respect about the Indian Army is that they’ve to a large extent maintained their traditions from the days of the British Raj.
I would never count them out. They may not have done that well against China in 1962 but they rolled over the Pakis a few years later.
Well thanks to Free Traitors China has much of our industrial strength.
So there’s that.
Yes they did roll over the Pakis.
In 1962, probably a combination of being ill-prepared & bad decision making due to socialist leadership - Nehru.
Exactly and we were stronger than China was then.
They may not have done that well against China in 1962 but they rolled over the Pakis a few years later.
The US could roll over Canada ... India rolling over Pak is why they began a huge armament build up and stocked up on nukes
What everybody ignores is that China’s average age is 40-years-old, while India’s average age is 20-years-old.
Demographics is destiny. The ChiComm apes aborted its future. China is an aging country. India is a young country.
China will get its ass kicked in a war with India for the simple reason that India can muster young people to fight, while the ChiComm apes will need to send grandpas onto the battlefield.
LOL, guess you have to use what is available.
RE: We didn’t beat Vietnam, neither.
We were already kicking the asses of the Vietcongs before the Democrat Controlled Congress decided to withdraw funding from our troops. If we had the same Congress in 1974 in 1942,we couldn’t have beaten Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany either.
The Indian Tank total of 600 is grossly understated.
Arjuns are for the desert. They are too heavy for the Himalayas. It will be the T-72 upgraded and the T-90s at higher altitude. And not just 366.
Please read about the 1967 and 1987 armed clashes where an aggressive leadership gave China a headache.
