I read from comments somewhere that it was about loans from AIIB. Choosing the Chinese one will give them loans with reduces interests ir something like that.
Just as the Ladakh confrontation was happening, China as a gesture of good faith approved AIIB loans to India, only for the Indians to stab China in the back by signing onto Quad and inflaming the border conflict.
I think India can kiss goodbye to any foreign loans where China is at the head- and there are plenty. However, i am sure China will approve loans at usurious rates just to fuck with the ever tightarse and ungrateful, dishonest indians.

Well, if this is considered India shooting themselves in the foot.

Then missing out on BRI and RCEP, joining QUAD, waging a Cold War with China, and antagonizing neighbours is like India shooting themselves in the head. I don't think you can really comeback from a shot to the head.
From a backwater sector to a major hot spot, now India had to contend with 2 enemy instead of one such genius only exist in India hahaha...The Chinese sure know how to move the enemy to his liking :cool: , they also did that with Vietnam in 1979 war, forcing Vietnam to increase it's defense expenditure , exhausting its financial resources instead of developing its economy.

Must be political pressure back in india prompting the government to act; great concessions must be extracted from india to ensure it behaves.

Overall, a good piece by Kishore but i fear his ethnic sentiments colour his analysis; the indians who did well in the west and singapore were those who were already predisposed to work and success ie higher IQs, but no less tightarse and annoying.

Allowing the free market in india is simply code for allowing american and british products and banning Chinese products under 'national security', it would merely create a captive market for american products like Faceberg especially since the Indian gov. has purposefully excluded Chinese competitors.

@hashtagpls,

The Chinese had no illusion were the loyalty of Indian lies, centuries under British colonialism the Brahmin elite is grateful for the British for giving them the present India, they don't have to work, dirty their hands and die for it.

This is the 2nd time a Chinese soldier has been held by India in the past few months

This has to be Psy-ops on part of PLA . I mean how else can 1 PLA solider get lost and enter Indian territory despite all the best tech available to him. Where were the rest of his unit?


China and India are working on the situation of a Chinese soldier who lost his way in the China-India border area, with him later being held by the Indian side, sources close to the matter told the Global Times.

Indian media reported that a Chinese soldier was apprehended by Indian troops near the south bank of Pangong Tso Lake in Ladakh on Friday.

Sources close to the matter told the Global Times that the soldier lost his way and was captured by the Indian side. China and India are negotiating the situation.

There were previously occasions when soldiers from both sides lost their way and crossed the border.

In October, a PLA soldier went missing while helping a herdsman find his yak along the China-India border. After China urged India to help in the search, India later notified China that a missing person from China had been found and would be returned to China after a medical exam.

You’d be surprised at how easy it is to get lost in that terrain when the borders are not clearly demarcated.

Alone by himself? Scouting/spying probably and got caught. Looks like drones aren't all that available around the clock either or maybe planting devices inside Indian side.

One lone soldier could only mean one or a combination of the following.

1. Guys positioned there are very unprofessional and unbelievably disorganised - unlikely a single person gets sent out for any "conventional" task.

2. The soldier was captured by Indians on PLA side - unlikely since that would require them to have ambushed a small group or caught one guy alone somehow which is just not going to happen unless he went awol. Also would have become a pretty big mess if that's happened.

3. Scout observing Indian positions and activities but there are so many cheap drones that can do that job cheaper and more effectively. Literally a $50 drone with a $100 camera can do it better, faster, and for longer.

4. Defector - actually more believable than the first three.

5. Guy was sent into the Indian side, maybe with one other person. Reasons could be observation since small drones flying into the other's side would be easily detected and recognised as escalation. HALE/MALE drones might be considered too expensive to have running around the clock or for trivial observation tasks which the Indians are doing to China as well no doubt since they knew how unguarded the south of lake was half a year ago. Maybe they went in not just to spy on Indian positions but to drop some monitoring devices?

Just wondering alone innocently into the Indian side is the official BS story. Expect the guy to get tortured if not a defector. They'll want to know what he was doing :confused: PLA should be learning lessons! Second time it's happened?

This Ladakh situation is actually pretty perfect for playing around with drones and learning tactics, adapting the technology to real life problems.

Real question is what was he doing out there alone at night?
