Well you know, how the West always criticize China on violating International Law bla bla bla, and yet, what India doing here is absolute clear cut, no dispute whatsoever the violation of international law, and now the whole West is as silent as crickets on a moonless night.

That only means, there is no such thing as International law, the so call International Law only applies when it suits the West's interest, if this is the case, if the West does not criticize India, I don't ever want to hear the West speech on China regarding International law.

And I hope China takes full advantage of this precedent that India have provided for China, I hope China breaks all the international laws for its own interest when China gets even stronger, and each time that China do, they need to always bring up the West's silence right here right now to shut up whoever is using International law to criticize China.
