And your usual "India is better than Pakistan or China" argument has what exactly to do with the US having problems planning a war in China?

And when Tibet was inavded by China, 95% of the population was not the regular chinese ethnic race. If we extend your logic of race and nationality, chinawhite then how do you explain Tibet being a "part of China".

It was only later that China has put its hand in population displacement methords like Pakistan and has now made the regular Chinese race (Ham or something sounding like that) a sizeable population in Tibet. Infact this has become so extreme that Tibetians are at a risk of being a minority race in tibet !

I found this :

One of the greatest threats to Tibetan people, culture and environment is the massive influx of Chinese civilians and military personnel into Tibet. Today, 6 million Tibetans are outnumbered by 7.5 million Chinese in Tibet. In Lhasa, the ratio between Chinese and Tibetan is 2:1. As a result, Tibetans are marginalised in economic, educational and social spheres and the rich Tibetan culture and tradition is rapidly disappearing and reduce them to second class citizens in their homeland. Thus violating the fundamental rights of the Tibetan people as guaranteed under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Can a moderator close this thread before it degenerates into the usual argument? It's totally lost track of where it should be. As usual.

Well India is inching towards being an american ally but i am not sure if it'll literally get involved in any america-china war. Baybe giving bases for american troops/navy/air force + refuelling might be the maximum India can do.

Check these out : India US 10 year defence pact

India allows US Navy to operate from its naval bases

Getting actually involved like fielding its own airforce/army/navy against china may not happen as it would make india a target for chinese nukes.

Maybe an operation to reclaim Aksai Chin might be the maximum india will do independantly if China is overwhelmed by America. Otherwise that may be unwise as well.

Most likely India will back Russia and will do whatever Russia does..and that would most probably be remain aloof from the amarica+taiwan+japan and china war.

South Korea is an ally of America and IMO will be compelled to join the america+taiwan+japan alliance.

India will not support the US in any pre-emptive move against China..
The US will not make any pre-emptive move on China..
So if everyone keeps their hands in their respective pockets, nobody can hit anyone..

As of now everyone has their hands in theri pockets but they're all watching china's pockets...
