    If China invades India at least 300-500 miillion people can be wiped out who are mostly useless and a huge liability on the free world.

    All the core problems of the world come from the west... destroying that would be an even better move, but probably not necessary as it is destroying itself.
    If the West is destroyed third world states like India and Bangladesh will also be doomed. Neither Bangladesh nor India will receive any investment from West in manufacturing because the West has largely automated manufacturing.

    Anyways, my point was Russia & China teaming up militarily against failed states like India is a commendable development that we all should support. I would encourage Kremlin & Beijing to break India up into smaller states that are more manageable and a number of these states will be pro Russia.

    The Free World™? So you want China to kill 500 million Indians for the benefit of the West?

    Anyways, my point was Russia & China teaming up militarily against failed states like India is a commendable development that we all should support.
    Who's we? You and the cockroach under your desk?

    Maybe you should sell this sales pitch to the United States & the UK, whom have a long, sordid history of genocide, regime change and breaking up countries, kingdoms and empires into dysfunctional statelets instead of begging Russia and China to literally kill millions of their consumers and trading partners.

    Western investment in China has made her rich and powerful but it was totally unintentional and not the sort of thing they like to do normally.

    The game is to build factories in poor countries with cheap expendable labour... anyone is killed in the factory disappears and is replaced... no court cases... maybe $50 for the family in compensation... that is why they "invest" there it is essentially using slave labour to make lots of money on cheap crap.

    The west has rigged the world economy to penalise poor countries and limit their ability to grow and develop and be independent... getting rid of the west would be the best possible thing for all independent countries of the world...

    Anyways, my point was Russia & China teaming up militarily against failed states like India is a commendable development that we all should support.

    Breaking India up into little pieces would only create a whole lot of weak shitholes that could each turn into Afghanistan over night and would not benefit Russia or China in any way or form.

    Amusing you think Russia and China should act like the US in a regime change mission to fix the world...

    I would encourage Kremlin & Beijing to break India up into smaller states that are more manageable and a number of these states will be pro Russia.

    Start with the US and EU and I would agree, but there is no need... they seem to be doing it for themselves.

    Russia has no need to make an enemy out of India. India is free to flirt with the US. It will eventually realize that there are
    few benefits.

    70% of their military stuff is Soviet or Russian, so they are still a very important customer even if idiots on both sides do like to run off at the mouth a bit.

    There is only one country seeking conflict between China and India and that is the US because they probably fear them both and want each to weaken the other in some pointless conflict...

    The US ordered Canada to arrest a CEO of Huawei... that was all it took to turn Canada against China, but now everything is Chinas fault in China Canada relations... the US isn't that smart... why are Canada and India so stupid?

    Do you even realize that India is a nuclear power? For China (or Russia) to invade India would be a very costly affair...on both sides. Fortunately neither the Chinese nor the Russians would be that stupid - giving the West a front seat row in witnessing the total destruction of these countries. They would love that! Laughing

    Market economy is prohibited under communism.

    Private ownership of productive assets like factories, educational institutions, financial institutions is not allowed under communism. However, ownership of such assets by individuals is allowed in China.

    China maybe ruled by a party that defines itself as Communist but even members of this politburo owns private assets described above.

    You cannot violate the basic tenants of an ideology and yet describe yourself as an adherent of that same ideology.

    India was a friend/client but now China is Russia's friend and ally and also a client. Russia need not have to fight India directly but should support China when it invades India.

    You contradict yourself here but never the less here is a quote from Wikipedia on the "Economy of China" >> first paragraph reads:

    "The economy of the People's Republic of China is a developing market-oriented economy that incorporates economic planning through industrial policies and strategic five-year plans. Dominated by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and mixed-ownership enterprises, the economy also consists of a large domestic private sector and openness to foreign businesses in a system described as a socialist market economy."

    Had no doubt in my mind that you are not a Serb but rather one of those low life, low IQ people of color. Explains your fondness for Pakis.

    You misunderstand... he thinks you are a pakistani because you support a Chinese and Russian invasion to destroy India, he does not realise you are Russian.

    BTW if you take a DNA test you will find there are very few people with no colour in them... pink and white are colours too.

    First, China is NOT communist.

    Communism is a system of government and it is the system of government China uses.

    Just this year itself the European members of G7 chose not to accept the US dictum of imposing sanctions on China.

    For financial reasons, not ideological ones.

    They don't want to save China, they have a lot of money invested there and don't want to lose those, and see 1.5 billion customers for their products which is a market they don't want to cut themselves out of either.

    The US on the other hand think they can swap from 1.5 billion Chinese buying buying their crap, to 1.2 billion Indians buying their crap... it is a sacrifice they are prepared to go with. Perhaps they have worked out that Indias population is going to keep growing while the population of China might stabilise and level out.

    Corporate America itself is the biggest supporter that China has in the West, as Nike's CEO states here in this interview how important China is for Nike

    In ten years time Chinese workers are going to demand more rights and more money for the work they do and Corporate America will run to India or Bangledesh for cheap expendable labour sources... hell if the ruble is low enough they might look at shifting production to Russia... but more likely the Ukraine if they can get guarantees their money wont just disappear.

    Lessons for Russia and India - if we were large enough ( US$ 10 trillion economy), human rights, military misadventure and all the other issues for which we are chided by the West, will be a 10th order variable..

    They also sold out to those western companies and effectively screwed there own people and their own environment... western companies build factories in China because there is no red tape... ironically... you want to build a big factory on this river and pump filth directly into it... go ahead as long as lots of money comes our way we don't care... the workers will work at slave labour levels...

    China has been very clever to encourage investment and even more so those Nike factories making shoes 8 hours a day... the manager that runs the factory trains up two more shifts so the factory is running 24/7, but for the other 16 hours it makes Nukee shoes with the same materials and design but different labels which he sells to other markets for $20 a pair. It means very little mark up price but he will sell millions of shoes, and most customers wont bother to bring back shoes they paid $40 for if they only last 2 years, while with Nikes when they wear out after 2 years but cost you $300 a pair you ask for replacements and get a pair for free... which means you are still paying $150 a pair anyway.

    Pretty soon that manager has made enough money to build his own factories for making shoes and he starts getting orders and modifying the designs... and his shoes are not worse than western shit we already buy but much cheaper... though as the quality and design get better the price creeps up as wages increase...

    Market economy is prohibited under communism.

    Rubbish. Market economies have nothing to do with politics.

    China is a one party state which is a loose definition of Communism in the west. Technically you might claim they are a socialist state, but to most westerners it is the same thing.

    China maybe ruled by a party that defines itself as Communist but even members of this politburo owns private assets described above.

    My understanding of the system is that you can go for money or politics but not both, you can be rich or you can be powerful but not both.

    Sounds like a good idea to me... look at what has happened in the west... you have companies telling the US drug and food administration to make laws to allow foods made mostly of sugar to be called sugar free... how can that be in the interests of the public?

    If I find a brain I'll buy it for you. India friend/client of Russia for a century Razz Razz India did not even exist till 1947.

    Russia didn't exist between about 1918 and 1991 either and like India has been artificially fragmented assisted by those white europeans you love so much.

    India was a friend/client but now China is Russia's friend and ally and also a client. Russia need not have to fight India directly but should support China when it invades India.

    You seem sure China will not invade Russia, yet think they might invade India?

    I realise that is what the US wants, but are you really so weak willed to just believe it might be true because the US wants it to happen?

    The US also wanted Assad out and Putin out for that matter... two obvious things they have failed miserably in trying to make happen.

    The real irony is throwing white power around the place when most western europeans consider Russians to be half asian...

    It is white people in the US and UK and EU that stir up chaos and death because they make a lot of money that way... they are nothing to follow or revere.

    Nothing is for free. So what did Thailand have to actually give up?

    If they are for free, damn, they got lucky. We paid lots for 3 submarines that caught on fire in the water and torpedo's to fit.

    Very likely they opened their market to chinese companies through secret contracts. I've been in Thailand for 6 months few years ago and I can tell you US dominance there is well seen in everyday life. Biggest markets there are US 7/11.

    Most likely they will try to put a step inside Thailand to counter US positions in Asia.

    Thailand is buying all sorts of Chinese weapons systems like the Type 071 LPD, or the VT-4 tank. They used to be 100% aligned with US interests in the region but ever since the new King got into power they have stepped up a realignment towards China.

    China is probably getting rid of all the old Ming-class subs, giving them away to make new allies a good deal. Also the Ming sub isnt a really threat today. More like an modifed Romeo class.

    Russian Telegram is now and then posting how the Chinese feel about what is going on right now with Ukraine.

    Also there is artwork created, supposedly on commission of the Chinese state.
    Portraying the military's invasion of Taiwan.

    Chinese social media users are reacting positively on this.

    I can not find direct sources confirming this.
    It just comes back every now and then what makes me feel that there might be something here.

    Has anybody heard/seen similar signals?.

    Its all speculation from me now, but there might be something been put in motion in China.
    This feels like gaging the response of the Chinese people to an Taiwan Operation.

    They seem to be made before the Ukraine operation as well.
