In today's time, war was the last option on table but China takes it!
WHY NOW?
Lack of global interference today due to,
1. Upcoming elections and internal strife in USA, making joining a war the last priority for their political leadership.
2. Supportive leadership in Russia to both countries whose goals would be lucrative weapons sale deals with the 2nd and 4th highest defence budgeted nations, especially since in current times their primary source of income of oil sales have taken a hit from lack of demand and competition with USA and OPEC. Wartime also ensures weapon trade of Russia being not bothered by sanction threats or inflated prices.
3. Devasted European nations from Covid19 making them focus on their own issues leading to diplomatic vacuum in global support.
4. India's neighbour nation/s like Pakistan waiting to slave in a war to get a waiver on debts taken from China. This would make the war appear as a more regional issue of territory claims to the global nations and hide the real goals of China.
HISTORICAL INDICATOR:
Cuban missile crisis of USA and USSR buffered global support for India in the 1962 war with China and the above 4 reasons buffer it today.
GOALS OF CHINA LEADING TO TODAY:
1. Establish regional hegemony
2. Get PLA some war training for times ahead.
3. Showcase their war muscle to global nations and get them to note China as a major military power.
4. Scare the south china sea neighbouring countries and Taiwan to fall inline on territorial claims.
5. Keep their long term agenda to have India as an economically weaker neighbour since war reduces investor confidence, depletes forex reserves and increase debts to secure weapons which will trouble India more than China.
6. Change India's defence equations with USA which has become more closer and strategic recently.
7. Encourage Russia and other communist and dictatorial nations to collobrate and change the world order currently dominated by democracies and NATO by getting an influencial democracy of India in control.
8. Avenge India's support for Dalai Lama and Tibetian refugees.
9. Annex Indian regions of Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh with war as an excuse.
10. Deflect common Chinese people's concerns on global animosities, reducing GDP, dissent from religious persecutions, their government's mishandling of COVID19.
PROPAGANDA:
Territorial claim of 1950's in Galwan valley of Ladakh, India is just the "excuse" after 70 years! Its just a deflecting propaganda using media.
DOUBT:
Seems Chinese are exploiting the current times, making me doubt if the covid19 is a purposeful Chinese spead virus for global dominance as an economic weakening strategy before ground wars could be done.
EXPECTATION:
Hope the Indian political leadership take this attack by China causing the matyrdom of 20 Indian soldiers few hours back as a hit on the nation's face and should go all guns blazing to put this arrogant country in place rather than waiting for other attacks to happen. Wish our weapons fire when needed on PLA of China.
And for Indians, hope they awake and get sensible moving forward to pocket their material needs like electronics, home accessories, toys, industrial components, machineries, tools, pharma chemicals, cars from one made in India or a friendly nation and not make their wallet fund an enemy nation! China preys other global nations by material dumping and the nations which have fell for it are subject to economic colonisation by China, almost all nations having deficits in trade with China just factually proves this notion.
The karmic cycle of 2020 moves on.. hope people ensure inner peace since external peace doesn't seem to happen anytime soon.
