The Chinese military has deployed long-range bomber planes to its border with India in a move to deter conflict between the two nations.
During the celebration of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force's 72nd anniversary last Thursday, state-run news channel China Central Television (CCTV) reportedly aired footage of H-6K bombers flying near the Himalayas. While typically based closer to Beijing, the jets were moved to Xinjiang province sometime last year, close to a region contested by China and India, the South China Morning Post reported.
These particular bombers are usually outfitted with CJ-20 long-range missiles for land and sea encounters. Speaking to the Post, military analyst Anthony Wong Tong said that positioning such bomber planes near the border is "definitely a warning to India."

India has likely moved their most modern jet fighters to near the China/India border. Any Chinese aircraft crossing the India border will not last very long.

India may have relocated some fighters a year ago when the PLAAF deployed the H-6Ks to the Xinjiang province.

India should hire some Vietnamese. They’ll take care of the Chinese. They have been doing so for centuries.

If Japan hadn’t been dumb enough to attack Perl Harbor, China would still be Japan’s “comfort girl”.

No matter how bad this might become don’t underestimate slow joe’s magic curse that worsens everything by orders of magnitude.
