Why did China Start this Border Fight

 Reasons why China started this fight


Diplomats and strategists have not yet figured out why did China pick this time to start a physical push and shove with India in Sikkim and Ladakh knowing fully well that India is well prepared. They got bloodied in Sikkim but are still face to face in Ladakh. There is Convid-19 pandemic on and China in its industrial heartland of Wuhan suffered the worst effect. It allowed the virus to deliberately escape China with travel and unleash havoc everywhere in the world, - US, Asia & Europe, its main trading partners. Today they are suffering Its worst effects......... Now, since the brand China among its customers is dead, their lifeline of exports is at standstill. Who wants to import anything from them. Even the defective virus prevention safety hardware hastily exported has been returned. ...... Hence my point is why would anybody in his right mind pick up a fight out of all the countries with India. 

Three points come to mind;-

1. The Chinese were helping Pakistan to prevent India grab POK in the coming summer months. For them the best option is to open a second front and help a friend.

2. The Chinese are aware that India is warming up to Taiwan wished to prevent it from happening by starting a fight and then negotiating their way to stop this warming up.

3. Since the Brand China is dead and quite a few companies are thinking of relocating and India is one of their choice, hence start a long fight to sabotage that.

The Ladakh or Sikkim fight is not worth anything on the ground. It is something more sinister than this. 

The Pakistani media silence all directed by their Foreign Minister does indicate that the Pakistanis are overjoyed except that it is a fight of equals unlike the 1962 fight. If India has made up its mind to grab the POK, then it does not matter this year or next. Sooner than latter POK will be in Indian hands.

India warming up to Taiwan has made Chinese in Peking gravely concerned. India establishing a diplomatic relation with Taiwan will upset them a lot. If India opens any office in Taiwan will persuade many other countries who are just thinking about recognizing Taiwan to follow the suite. That will be a suicidal moment for China. This fight, they started with India is a warning to India and others to stay out of it. 

Today Chinese loosing quite a bit of its manufacturing is a major economic loss for them. All those CPEC and One Road One Belt money will be sitting in the waste basket, when half the customer base disappears. I live in North America, I know the consumer feelings here. They are dumping everything Chinese. Even the Amazon is feeling the pinch of it as orders if Chinese made goods are cancelled. India is making a huge beeline to grab a portion of shifting manufacturing. Chinese being unhappy wish to sabotage it very early. It is possible.......

There may be a hundred other reasons but to me it would appear, these are the three main reasons... What do you think.

Great Indian opportunity to kick Chinese lost

  Recent Ladakh Truce Took Away a Great Indian Opportunity India gave away too much to buy peace in Ladakh. In fact, Chinese belligerence needed a big hard kick on their back but Alas! that opportunity is all gone. They attempted another piece of Salami slicing of Indian land and offered India that rare opportunity to kick them in the Himalayas. That opportunity would have laid to rest Chinese expansionist policies in the rest of Asia. India had all the advantages in all of Ladakh to capture back Akas-Chin plateau and severe the road link between Sinking and Tibet. In all probability Tibet would have been free and Pakistan would be at Indian mercy in spite of nuclear threat. Alas! it did not happen. Later we may regret that lost opportunity. This was the time to wash that 1962 blot of Chinese victory, a blot on Indian conscience. Question is that, why did they come and then why did they leave so quickly? Did they think that India is not well prepared and they can redo all that vict...

Start of the end of China’s Domination of the supply Chain

  Start of the end of China's domination of the supply chain. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic with China at its centre, either intentionally or accidentally in 2020, has emerged as a boon to China's trade and economic dominance. Its rapid spread in most parts of the world has provided China a greater outlet for its products. When most of the world was closed to stop the spread of the virus, China was apparently open for business. Then the world started to recover. The vaccines did their part and extraordinary precautions were taken to allow the world to control the pandemic. By July or August of 2021, sufficient progress had been made for the world to recover. What was unknown at the time was the impact of pandemic on China itself. Their vaccines were 50% effective and guess work was that Chinese are as badly impacted by the virus as others. Yet they kept their factories humming for exports. There are two aspects of their exports 1). Merchandise exports. 2). Exports of supp...

We are back to Obama Administration

  We are back to Obama Administration with Joe Biden as president now. Most of his men are ex Obamaites. Does America have to recreate not so smart Administration of the bygone era. Yes, Obama smiled a lot which convinced the people that everything is OK. Not true......... China captured all the South China Sea, hence shipping and security of that region is in doubt. The Chinese overgrew in military might during Obama Administration and America kept importing stuff from China, filling up their pockets. That money went straight into their military and Obama and his men kept watching. Russia was threatened with war if they stepped one step further in Ukraine. As a matter of fact, neutralistic Eastern Europe closer to Russia is good for everybody. it is a buffer for advanced Western Europe, but Obama could not control his advisors not work to grab Ukraine into its own fold. Now there is an unending war with no results. And many more issues like that in Iraq and Pakistan. The latter co...
