China should stay on alert for surprise attacks along its disputed Himalayan border with India, a retired Chinese general has warned, claiming that New Delhi has at least doubled its troops in the area.

Retired Chinese lieutenant general Wang Hongguang issued the warning in an article published on Li Jian, a defence-related social media account, on Wednesday.

"India only needs 50,000 soldiers to maintain the Line of Actual Control, but now, instead of withdrawing troops before the winter comes, India has added 100,000 more soldiers in Ladakh," Wang said, referring to the disputed China-India border.

"India has doubled or tripled its troops near the Line of Actual Control; they are mostly stationed within 50km (31 miles) of Chinese territory, and they could easily cross into China in a few hours."

Well, whatever they do I hope they don’t use Gen Custer’s approach. It was not very successful, at all.

Seemsthat the Prez and PM Mori of India are friends. Remember the Cricket stadium

The Indians will crush the chicoms. They’ve already bloodied them several times.

Hard to imagine Pakistan will stay neutral in this.

India should hire Antifa en masse and get this over with.

The difficulty of moving supplies over the mountain means that whoever tries operating in the other’s territory, will lose.

The CCP is setting the stage for their attack and then say that India attacked. They have learnt to play victim successfully. The PLA have far more weapons on the border than India does, and the Indian Army is always reactive in a hot war.

The PLAN prolly has the first week of November in mind because they think Trump will be too busy to bother about them. Mid November onwards it will be too cold for them. Even now, the PLA take away a few on stretchers every day. The thin air at 14000 feet combined with the -20C weather is not for unacclimatised troops. India has troops facing the Pakis at 20K feet and a lot of their troops were born at 10k feet and grew up running up and down the mountains. Another 175 Ladakhi soldiers graduated yesterday and are probably back in Ladakh now.
