China has vowed retaliation and India has bolstered its defenses amid a new flare-up in border tensions that saw both sides accuse the other of attempting to cross their disputed boundary in the Himalayan highlands.

In the latest episode to emerge from an ongoing standoff that erupted in May and turned deadly the following month, the Chinese People's Liberation Army and Indian Armed Forces charged one other Monday with trying to redraw the contested Line of Actual Control between India-administered Ladakh and China-administered Aksai Chin. The details of the incident remain difficult to discern, but heated rhetoric from the two nuclear-armed Asian powers suggest that attempts to resolve their violent border spat have failed so far.

Zhao Lijian told a press conference in Beijing that his country's frontier forces "have always strictly adhered to the line of actual control and have never crossed the line.

Right. Just like they didn't cross the line when they crossed into Tibet.

War between two nuclear-armed mega-countries. Joy.

When Trump signs a reciprocal trade agreement with Modi, that’s lights out for the Chinese Communist Party.

So if they take each other out, who’s going to make all of our sh*t and fix our computers?

I am sure he is working it, but India is not our friend either.

Did you see the response Trump got when he visited? It was off the charts. They need us. They know it.

[mylife]

Yes, but they are not to be trusted.

I don’t care about that. There’s fall-out, and two ancient civilizations to consider, even though one is under the thumb of low-life thugs at present. I like ancient civilizations. They should be preserved.

Neither should France, UK, or anyone, really.

Reagan— Trust but verify.

India is the largest democracy in the world. I would rather have them on our side as we confront the pure evil of the CCP. With due concern, India is a tactical necessity.

Mexico, Indonesia, Phillipines, etc. Computers will be all the fired white male IT guys that used to do it.
