China could indulge in a "territorial grab"

Figures from Wikipedia:
----------------------

1. Pakistan GDP (PPP)	2011 estimate
 - Total	$482.913 billion
 - Per capita	$2,851

2. China GDP (PPP)	2011 estimate
 - Total	$11.316 trillion
 - Per capita	$8,394

3. India GDP (PPP)	2011 estimate
 - Total	$4.469 trillion
 - Per capita	$3,703


So just from these figures, who would you conclude is the stronger enemy - China or Pakistan?

not only that , china is also indulged in building gigantic , weird structures in the middle of the china desert, including Back in 2006, they built this 1:20 scale model of disputed border region between China and India. That's a terrain model 0.7 kilometer wide by almost 1 kilometer tall. Uncanny. Why would they build such a model of a terrain? To play a 1:20 scale war with 1:20 scale tanks? Mind boggling. 

There is no place for shrill slogans in international dynamics as Shameena said. We got to accept that we cannot just finish Pakisthan and then turn to China. It does not work that way. Anyway I think military strength-wise I think there is not much difference between India and Pakisthan as between India and China. So it a very delicate balance. and I think whole of India should back the government instead of creating internal problems at this crucial juncture as India has to lay its base for next 20+ years of policy in next couple of months. It will define our destiny for minimum a couple of decades. Very crucial period indeed. 

Get of out of the illusions.

I've been thinking a lot on this and I think that in case Pakistan and China attack together, we should just capture Pakistan first. That will take out the irritating bug. Then we focus on China. How's that sound? :)

Good topic Shameena. I tend to agree with Srinivas sir's first comment. China and Pakistan are further strengthening their ties. A good angle on this issue is here --> http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/publication/idr/vol_17(2)/Amrish_Sahgal.htm

What worries me is a pincer movement - by both Pakistan AND China at the same time. That would be a test of our defence readiness. And what a test that would be. It would be a test of the mettle of the ENTIRE NATION. 

We would have to keep our brothers in the Armed Forces supplied with all the necessary items. It also means that it would be India's capacity - martial, financial, logistical, etc - versus China's capacity.   Would we stand?

Shameenaji US dollar might be loosing its place (ofcourse not yet happened), but, whether you accept it or not, US still the uncrowned big brother of the globe.  

If you observe, UN welcomed and endorsed the dethroning and killing of Gadafi.  We must not forget that UN has not send any force to Libiya, but it was only  interference o NATO.  What made the UN to welcome and endorse it. 

Mr. Ban-Ki-Moon was retained for the second consecutive period with the blessings of Big Brother and he shown his loyalty by endorsing the move of the US lead NATO.  What do you say?  

Thanks in advance for correcting me if I am wrong.

thanks for the info sir:)a

ya, might be. china on its way.

Srinivasji how can you make that statement when Big brother is itself loosing relevance. Our foreign policy has to move with the times and it is imperative for us to try to befriend Pakisthan with a 'stick & carrot' policy, align with the western world, keep our influence updated in the post post-spring Arab region and also invest in Sri-lank and South East Asia. Our main threat is China and we should not give them the opportunity to use our neighbors to fish in our waters. It is time time hard logical thinking in this times of changing world scenario that has no place for shrill shrieking and knee-jerk reactions. 

Mr. Sheriff, you said it right.. UN has lost its relevance in the recent past. It became a puppet in the hands of Big Brother.   

We need to be wise to deal the issue diplomatically and win the confidence of other global powers to contain China and its aggression.

It is a possible scenario  and whats out think tanks response will be? Go to the now defunct UN ?

Thank you Murty sir and Shameena ji for the value addition comments. 

We must not forget that China is militarily powerful than us as on date. Their technology is also ahead of us. Their strategy is not to give us enough time to get prepared for such scenario. I believe that this could be resolved only through dialogue and diplomacy at least for the time being.

Yes! After we solve the psuedo-Islamist problem. the next crisis will be to contain China. 

Yes, It appears to be a serious situation. Hope our leaders/military are adequately prepared for this.

China and Pakistan are strengthening their tie-up further. It is a not a good sign as far as India concerned.  China is an ambitious nation particularly on the issues of territories.  It claims for Tiwan, Tibet and now certain parts of India.    Two rogues are becoming together.  We must be cautious enough.
