As a Chinese native, I’ve always believed it’s a misstep by the Beijing government not to have a good enough relationship with India. But I also understand why given the status quo. It’s getting increasingly important for China to keep up its good relationship with Pakistan, and China currently doesn’t have a strong reason to be relying on India strongly, yet. So that makes the paramount importance of controlling Tibet the dominating factor in the Chinese strategic mind. But I think things will take a turn for the better in the next couple of decades as India expands further as a consumer market and continues to sharpen its edge in technological services, to the point where Indian tech leader can start to take up market shares in China. That’s when we’ll have some fun, and lots of money to be made.

NehRU was a brilliant strategist.. Nehru actually invaded china when china was begging for food, taking advantage of weakened china caused by the famine of 59-62 that 30 millions died. Moreover, China had a big fallout with the soviet and India was still in the soviet camp. USA-Soviet was also distracted with the Cuban missile crisis. The Indian army was chased off, and china even manage to retake southern tibet that had been taken over by India.. However, the famine had a toll on china.. Being unable to keep it, they retreated. It was lucky break for India NeHrU was so terribly shocked by the emaciated china army which managed to overcome the strong well fed battle hardened Indian forces-, that he went into deep depression and gave up his conquering ambition after successful annexing nations for past 13 years. . No other Indian did any better. By the way , if china had planned the Invasion, they wouldn't have retreated. They were completely surprise at their victory in warding off the strong Indian forces.

China has made certain assumptions about our so called doctrine and derived counter thought and counter measures.

Post independence, by now we should have been a few notches higher on the power scale. Alas, we'll continue in the same mould, even with the present disposition, as knowledge and ability to foresee and lay out a roadmap for long term development and strength, to project power much beyond our frontiers, is sadly lacking, and neither does anyone want to learn or let professionals do it for them.

The Chinese incursion actually served India well in ways that they did not calculate. Other than the punitive economic retaliation against China, it forced India to quickly start to augment and modernize its air force - including inking the Tejas deals and probably more to come, assess its ground based armed force mobilization, deterrence and modernization efforts, moving towards being self dependent, and, having done these in a short and squeezed timeframe, now given the Indians an impetus to focus on its naval dominance. Something India may not have contemplated doing in a short order. More power to the nation. Jai Hind!

Pardon me, but what is the art of purva paksha?

[@sumitgaikwad8854]

Purva Paksha is ancient vedic technic of debating, in which one studies opponent in intellectually, and then reply.

Dear Mr Gupta, The correct pronunciation of Mahon as in The McMahon Line, is ‘macman’.

If I am not wrong, the Malabar exercises have been going on for a long time before this document came. So predicting Quad, as a grouping of like minded democracies isn't that big an achievement.

[@siddhantkumar1028]

Its no great feat honestly. A few students can prepare such documents about china, how the chinese have slowly been becoming more aggressive especially under xinping.

[@PrashanthSadashivan]

I think the Quad was first envisioned in 2007 or so, but couldn't become real as Australia withdrew, not wanting to impact their relations with China. Covid-19 changed that in 2020.

When Cholas had a strong navy between 9 to 13 ad, they were ruling the Indian ocean and had control over Malacca straight. Modern India should focus on strengthening the Indian navy at any cost.

Look at our coastline. No country can stop us from making our navy superb because it also has great economical value.

Brilliant stuff and thank you for sharing this piece. Appreciate the effort in going thru this longish translated Chinese document. I hope India's leadership and strategic establishment has already gone thru this and if not they must take a business subscription of The Print. This piece is the reason for subscribing this channel and paying for the quality content.

I personally love the strategy kinds of videos and SG provides us the cherry of the cake by bringing written papers, calling US strategist,which are a viable way of seeing ourselves from others perspective.

Why don't we translate these Chinese docs, why do we rely on America to do it for us

How do you know we haven't translated? The Americans made it public, but I can bet my life that India's intelligence has documents of far greater value than this bullshit. Nothing gets out of china without the permission of chinese government. We know this because they want us to know

Does the defense need 300,000 soldiers? This is clearly an offensive state. Indians don't be brainwashed by Modi
