But there are plenty of people in between those who are convinced either way. Those swing votes matter. It's always important to cultivate your image as unfortunate a reality as that is. The people who hate China and Chinese may change.

The only people who are in between are those who don't concern themselves with politics; they won't care what happens with China vs. India. Those who care about politics have a strong opinion on China that will not change. Those who hate China hate China because it is strong, and it defies Western "wisdom" in its growth. They dislike being challenged by a rival superpower, being proven wrong and shown that their way is not the only way or even the best way. The only way to make these people like China is to disarm and become weak and then come to them seeking guidance.
What is your infatuation with being "liked"? It is not befitting for a citizen of an upcoming superpower (if you are Chinese). You need to understand that your rivals/enemies will not like you unless you surrender; rivals/enemies are for beating, not for liking each other. I'd dread to be liked by these people; I'd rather they accumulate so much hate, envy, and frustration that their skulls crack open LOL

PLA holds drills amid Doklam tensions

Western Theater: Group 77 Army Army West Plateau artillery group day and night live fire shooting
The People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Western Theater Command has conducted military exercises amid tensions in Doklam from a standoff with trespassing Indian troops.
The Western Theater Command covers Tibet, , Ningxia, Qinghai, Sichuan and Chongqing.
China Central Television reported on Friday that more than 10 PLA units, including aviation units and armored forces, participated in the drills.
The five-minute-long video showed tanks firing at targets on hills, followed by helicopters firing missiles at ground targets.
The report did not mention the location of the exercises, only saying the drills "lay the ground for plateau warfare."
The Lianhe Zaobao newspaper on Friday quoted analysts as saying such Chinese PLA military exercises are meant to "strike awe in India," as the two sides have been engaged in a standoff in Doklam for more than two months, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is closest to India, is where the Western Theater Command is most prominent.
In July, one of PLA's two plateau mountain brigades conducted live-fire drills in Tibet. The drills included the quick arrival of troops and different military units working together on joint attacks.
The brigade has long been stationed around the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and is responsible for frontline combat missions.

I just watched Trump's major speech on Afghanistan, the part that strike me the most is when he mention that US cannot send blank check to Pakistan anymore, and Pakistan needs to do more.
And building strategic partnership with India, and India's help on Afghanistan. This will make India very happy, but I don't know who is playing who, knowing India's past I think India is playing US, in the past India never trusted Americans but they will pay lip service to take as much advantage as possible while do as little as possible... when you think about it, that is kinda of what Pakistan have done.
I don't know what this strategic partnership is going to be, but I know India won't get what it want, here is my analysis
1. America is broke right now, so they cannot give India what India is expecting
2. Knowing the traits of Indians, they will take as much advantage as possible, while do as little as possible, this is not something American culture values.
3. Fully shift to US camp is not going to make Russia happy, half of Indian current inventory are Russians, so India is either not going to fully commit or piss off Russia, both have bad outcome.
4. This just give more excuse for China to build up relationships with all of India's neighbor to contain India, as well as carry more overt anti-India policies and India cannot complain, because they know they brought it on themselves.
5. Just what the hell can India do in Afghanistan anyway? Its located on the other side of Pakistan, there is literally nothing India can do, only thing I can think of is India picking more fight with Pakistan... but that still won't help the Americans.
I think both side is going to be very disappointed with this new relationships, I like China's chances.

What I heard:
- India needs to somehow help Afghanistan develop, otherwise India's trade surplus is at stake
- Will send mines and rocks from Afghanistan to India by air
- Neutral to Taliban, fight ISIS and Al Qaeda (bad news for some people in Syria, Al Qaeda is officially not Resistance any more)
- Push Pakistan closer to Iran (Pak, Iran, Qatar) away from Saudi
LOL
"We appreciate India's important contributions to stability in Afghanistan, but India makes billions of dollars in trade with the United States, and we want them to help us more with Afghanistan, especially in the area of economic assistance and development."
Is he directly asking India to pay more funding or somehow invest in Afghanistan? And will start a trade war with India if nothing happens?

Damn, Trump is so damn good, when he mentions you name, you don't know whatever he is praising you or threatening you.... now that is the Art of the Deal
