In China, "another brutal purge" is coming.
Ruler Xi Jinping, already roiling the Communist Party with a "rectification" campaign and mass persecution of foes, has risked his future with recent high-profile incursions into Indian-controlled territory.
Unfortunately for Xi, he is the "architect" of these aggressive moves into India and his People's Liberation Army (PLA) has unexpectedly flopped.
....
Beginning in early May, Chinese forces advanced south of the Line of Actual Control, the temporary border between the two giants, principally in three separate areas in Ladakh, high in the Himalayas....
The May incursions took New Delhi by surprise. As Cleo Paskal of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies tells Newsweek, Moscow in April had assured India that large-scale Chinese maneuvers in its Tibet Autonomous Region were not preparations for a move below the Line.
China also took India by surprise on June 15 in the Galwan Valley, the northernmost of the three areas of incursion. In a premediated move, Chinese troops killed 20 Indian soldiers. It was the first deadly confrontation between the two giants in 45 years.
Beijing is accustomed to getting its way in disputed territory, especially because Indian leaders and soldiers, "psychologically paralyzed" by their loss in the 1962 border war with China, played only defense.
Paralyzed no more. China is thought to have suffered at least 43 deaths in the Galwan clash. Paskal says the number of Chinese killed could exceed 60. Indian troops fought back ferociously. Beijing won't admit the extent of the debacle.
Then, beginning late last month, for the first time in a half-century, India carried out an offensive against China, taking back high ground the Chinese recently grabbed. China's forces were surprised when Indian troops mounted their attempt to retake strategic high points. Stunned Chinese soldiers retreated. .....

Also the more Xi purges the PLA officer corp, the more political the corp becomes which makes the PLA more ineffective
Hahahaha nice try gaslighting.
“The fact is US began as a racist country with practice of slavery of the negro race. There were no white slaves. “
Yeah, except for the millions of white slaves taken by the Muslims and the indentured servitude of the Irish.
If you are so smart, why you are not the owner of those corporations hiring cheap & terrible coders? You could drive them out of business with your superior coding skills! Lets face it you are just an ordinary disgruntled employee without any power to make hiring decisions. Please stay there.
“Please explain why Trump was welcomed in India more enthusiastically more than in any other country? Last time I checked, Trump is white.”
Because they were hoping for more immigration to the US and our help if they went to war?
What the Muslims did is outside of history of USA. The USA history is practice of slavery and a fierce civil war to abolish slavery.
It was the same welcome accorded to IKE & JFK, but not to Obama or LBJ. The real fact is certain individuals are more charismatic than others and therefore loved more by the masses. Since Europeans immigrated to America starting with Columbus, why should other people be barred from immigrating here? Did the native Americans gave Europeans exclusive rights?
The Brookings Institute had a good article about China’s hollow military. More recently I read a blog by a guy who lived in China for awhile and was able to observe Chinese culture first hand and had some interaction with enlisted personnel.
When you read that China is the third most powerful military in the world it doesn’t Necessarily mean they are great. After the US military there is a steep drop off to Russia and China. China’s annual defense budget is about 5% of ours. There is only one real super power in the world and it’s the United States.
One of the main weaknesses if the Chinese military is their leadership. They do not have a non commissioned officer corp like we do.
The Brookings Institute be wary of the long-time leftist ‘think’ tank. Their China piece could well be disinformation
It’s just one of many sources on the weakness of the Chinese military.
They have their political officers which are in communist military theory supposed to act as NCOs, but which act more like brakes and impose fear as they did in the old Soviet mil
Agreed. But they don't do innovation, aggression, occupation, courage, fury, or imagination. Those are essential to the continuing development and use of the tech, which is just an extension of human wills at work.
The number of minds and spirits at work in your culture does count--if they are at liberty to exercise their powers. That number is itself a raw material--except it isn't raw.
Because that is not what I want to do for a living.
You are clearly not in the business so you are just talking out of your a$$.

Says the guy who thinks owning a Chromebook makes him a computer expert.
I have been doing this longer than you have been alive, Sonny boy. I know exactly of what I speak. My example was exactly on point which an IT professional would know.
Thanks for posting.
Do not fall for the leftist narrative that holds the enslavement of blacks as unique.
And they work at NASA, Tesla, Worldbank, MS, Apple, Oracle, Spacex, everywhere...only freepets can save is from the scourge of Indian programmers.
The Highland Clearances produced much material for the colonies.
