NEW DELHI—As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) celebrated its 100 year anniversary on July 1, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke of the “rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” and the “rise of the east.” These agendas that the Chinese are likely to relentlessly pursue will have a direct impact on India, the country next door with whom the PLA has been engaged in a fierce confrontation since last year, said an Indian analyst.
“All the struggle, sacrifice, and creation through which the Party has united and led the Chinese people over the past hundred years has been tied together by one ultimate theme—bringing about the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” boasted Xi in a speech that repeated “rejuvenation” at least 24 times.
Namrata Hasija, a Research Fellow with the New Delhi based Centre for China Analysis and Strategy told The Epoch Times over the phone that India shouldn’t forget that every time Xi gives a speech, particularly since the 19th Party Congress in 2017, he mentions the “Chinese dream which includes the rejuvenation of the great Chinese nation.”
She said this agenda has direct implications for India because it involves the recovery of so-called lost territory some of which today is a part of the Indian nation.
Xi said in his Party centenary speech: “The victory of the new democratic revolution put an end to China’s history as a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society, to the state of total disunity that existed in old China, and to all the unequal treaties imposed on our country by foreign powers and all the privileges that imperialist powers enjoyed in China. It created the fundamental social conditions for realizing national rejuvenation.”
Hasija said the Chinese leadership and the party cadres have been repeating their rhetoric about “unequal treaties” again and again,

That’s going to go down well.
I’d like to hear Xi’s speech in the original German.
iNDIA HAS NUKES. They will use them if necessary.
Yep, just like Hitler in the late 1930’s.
Try Afghanistan instead.
RE: Try Afghanistan instead.
I think he will, but Xi will try a different strategy - he will SUPPLY the Taliban with arms and support their terrorists in order to create trouble for India ( he has designs on their territory ) and ultimately, the USA.

I’m just waiting to see what happens the first time a bunch of Chinese get slaughtered in the stan. It’s their turn at the quagmire.
If the Chinese are backing the Taliban, who is left to attack the Chinese?
“ If the Chinese are backing the Taliban, who is left to attack the Chinese?”
The Taliban.

The taliban. Scorpion and frog story - it’s just in their nature.
Big mistake picking a fight with India. They can put as many troops in the field as China can. If they want territory the place to go is Africa. Nobody cares what happens there .
RE: If they want territory the place to go is Africa.
We don’t have to advise the Chicoms about this, they are already there.
I believe that this is a big issue:
Doklam is an area disputed between China and Bhutan located near their tri-junction with India. Unlike China and Bhutan, India does not claim Doklam but supports Bhutan’s claim.
China’s claim on Doklam is based on the 1890 Convention of Calcutta between China and Britain, which states in Article I:
The boundary of Sikkim and Tibet shall be the crest of the mountain range separating the waters flowing into the Sikkim Teesta and its affluents from the waters flowing into the Tibetan Mochu and northwards into other Rivers of Tibet. The line commences at Mount Gipmochi on the Bhutan frontier, and follows the above-mentioned water-parting to the point where it meets Nipal territory.
China asserts that by this convention, the starting point of the Sikkim-Tibet border is “Mount Gipmochi on the Bhutan frontier” and that this clearly defines the tri-junction point. As per Chinese claims, Doklam is located in the Xigaze area of Tibet, bordering the state of Sikkim. However Bhutan was not a party to the convention.

“China has expanded its military footprint in Doklam...China’s new control there precludes India intervening again at Bhutan’s behest.”
This article has a map and more information:

“If China comes in control of the Doklam, it will get the high ground which would enable it to completely crush Bhutan in case of a war.”
“the access to the Tri-junction area (via road from Doklam) would give China easy access to transportation of war machinery such as tanks and vehicles to the border of India.”
“In this case, if a war breaks out between India and China, the latter will have an upper hand at conquering the Chickens Neck of India as well as the whole of the North-Eastern region of the country.”
Look at the map in the article to better understand the military situation:
Bkmk
Perhaps the Taliban and the existing Kashmir separatists will simply slaughter each other.
