China warns India against 'forced decoupling' of their economies

China warned on Thursday that a “forced decoupling” of its economy with India, following a Himalayan border clash last month that killed 20 Indian soldiers, would hurt both countries.

The statement came after New Delhi’s recent moves to ban or sideline Chinese business interests in one of the world’s biggest markets, even as the border remains tense with many more troops on the ground than usual.

“China advocates win-win cooperation and opposes a zero-sum game,” Ambassador Sun Weidong wrote on Twitter. “Our economies are highly complementary, interwoven and interdependent. Forced decoupling is against the trend and will only lead to a ‘lose-lose’ outcome.”

Officials of the nuclear-armed neighbours have been talking regularly to de-escalate the border standoff after the June 15 clash in the Galwan Valley of India’s Ladakh region when the Indian officials said soldiers were beaten to death with rocks and clubs.

China needs to become humble and stop sending “warnings” to other nations.

The terms ‘zero sum’ and ‘non-zero sum games’ are western ideas here again like so much else stolen by the communist and used against us.

Probably not the best plan when your country is experiencing unprecedented flooding you have the world’s largest dam that may or may not be about ready to fail.

Commies doing what commies do. Lie. Bully. Threaten. Try to take as much as they can steal. Blame the victims. Lie some more. Steal some more. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Indication China is scared.

Indication that China's economy is more fragile than they want to admit.

All democratic nations of the world should “decouple” from China economically until they abandon communism and extend individual freedoms and rights to their people.

The nations of the world should never have “coupled” with Red China in the first place. Monumental mistake.

Could we send them our Democrats and their insurrectionist foot soldiers?

“Forced decoupling”. That sounds like when the neighbor used the spraying garden hose to separate two dogs
caught en flagrante delicto.

CCP needs to shut their mouth, abandon their effort to dominate the Himalayas, and get back to their own virus-ridden affairs of a population on the verge of starvation.

But CCP needs a distraction for their people from all the floods, hail storms, destruction of crops and meat industries, the failure of dams, their inability to control multiple viruses running rampant, the catastrophic drop off of exports and production. Not to mention their inability to provide even basic assistance to the hundreds of millions displaced and unemployed.
