china;s prime growth phase is past and now its going to struggle to come out of middile income trap.. just hope that it does not become another bigger Japan, your demographics is not going to support you in the same. you guys are picking up fights with the west (which is very much on decline), along with the 2nd largest economy in Asia; i.e India .. I absolutly agree that we are behind you, but we will catch up during our lifetimes. and having an enemy like India on its boarder is never going to be usefull for china, given that you guys want to focus on South China and Pacific. with India as your enemy, you will always have to watch your back in any conflict with the US over Taiwan..Well, we were trying to save Modi's face. Peace negotiations were underway and Modi will face huge public backlash if they knew the extent of the humiliation. We only released the full video years after that incident. Our soldiers were practically herding the Indian POWs. It was that MANY. Imagine if that video went viral earlier. Judging from Modi's reaction, we can practically tell who lost that debacle. lolol.
india is nothing but a willing sepoy for the Anglos, nothing more, nothing less. Yes, you may develop economically, but first you have to settle the pollution, starvation and caste issues at hand. Your population is young and rising, but you will face the wrath of automation. Climate change will affect India, Africa and Mid East the most, droughts and water shortages will be more severe. What is your government doing? I know what mine is doing. That's the difference between China and India. We do things because we planned for it not because we are reacting to our rival.
Having said that, I really hope India and China can live in peace but judging from the Indian ego, I don't think this can happen. 1962 which was not even mentioned much in China is that stigma. You guys need to let go, it was like 60 years ago, wasn't even a real war, more like skirmish. I see US acting more and more like India, they do things as a reaction to China. China is planning for the moon, they want to return to the Moon, India did the same for Chandrayan 1, it was a reaction for Chinese Chang'e program. Same with Mars, your Chandrayaan-1 failed and since China did so well on the moon, you needed to go to Mars to save face. what did we do? We just stuck with our plan, we took our time and went to Mars all in one go and achieved orbiting, landing and roving all at once. Our space plan were all announced in advanced and proceeded as per our plan, we do things step by step, we build the foundation stone by stone first. That's the Chinese way of thinking. Look at the Artemis program, they are rushing it to prevent us to reach the moon first (before their return). Btw, the US has lost their moon landing capabilty, it has been 50 years afterall.
it does not help India either to have the largest economy on its boarder as its enemy.. but none in India will compromise on national soverreignty ..
regarding your point on giving Modi a face saver .. thats just a joke, Modi is India's PM not China's .. why would you guys care about his reputation ? but you guys reputation was serioulsy questioned with all the secrecy about the casualties
