These are great points.
And let's also not forget that the huge east wind that aided China's ascent as an industrial power house, which was the fastest and largest ever in human history, was the US centric globalization which ended 10 years after the Great Financial Crisis.
The world is evolving from globalization of economies to regionalization with China, US, and EU centric trade blocks.
And India is not a part in any one of the three, while its economy and market is too small to be a pole by itself.

Yes, and we should be eternally grateful to Indian leadership for f*cking itself before and during those crucial years of growth, allowing China to cement undisputed status as the world's factory, instead of fighting with India for manufacturing, exports and investment. In fact, India is kind enough to continue f*cking itself to this day and shows zero signs of stopping. Which is why there is no need for China to do anymore than what it is already doing to 'contain' India. This is nothing like the US - China situation in the late 90s to early 00s, where the champion failed to stop and by in large facilitated the ascension of a hungry challenger. Here, India is the one stopping itself.

Word is there is 50k Russian and allies troops fighting in Mauripol. That’s a lot of fighters that once it’s over maybe half will be sent to the Donbas region. Also the clashes in the Donbas that occurred the past few days are small but intense clashes. The Ukrainians have repelled some Russian advancement but it’s minor. Russia is still mobilizing forces. Ukraine is said to be sending reinforcements to further strengthen the second line of defense outside the Donbas region. Both sides are mobilizing their forces for this battle. This reminds me of the follow up to the Aleppo offensives in the summer and fall of 2016.
I’m hearing 250k Russian and allies will take part in this offensive. I don’t know if that’s true. Sounds like a stretch in my mind. Could be 100-120k forces will take part. If the reports are true that there is 50k Russian and allies in the city of Mauripol then it makes sense.
It would make sense for the Russians to mobilize 250k in my opinion. The reports are that Sumy, Khariv and Mykolaiv are also targets. Sounds very ambitious but they will need to have a large force to accomplish all this. So maybe 250k is likely what’s being mobilized right now. Mauripol is taking really slow and my prediction of it falling this weekend hasn’t happened. Urban warfare is hell. Can’t imagine what the battles of Khariv is going to be like. Also this week is gonna have shitty weather in east Ukraine. I would say this offensive is going to start in two weeks the way things are going. Likely be another week for Mauripol to be cleared and to redeploy the force from Mauripol to the Donbass front.

The India front will remain a non issue as long as India doesn't have a 5th gen fighter that can challenge the J20 for dominance.

China can easily inflict much more pain on India by striking deep into their country than India can in return.

Indians can design weapons but manufacturing them on mass production basis is lacking.

American military and non-military sources still report that even older longer-range missiles like the Agni III is only in limited deployment even thought it was first time succesfully tested 2007, maybe their next gen fully composite missiles are easier to manufacture, but even extremely important weapons like that are very slowly manufactured.

Example of slow pace of weapon development: India test launched their first all composite missiles last year.

If those problems aren't fixed India will always be behind China in any war scenario.

This thread is so unnecessary. Both India/China will never have land war except some border skirmishes. And noone will be able to hold land due to Himalayas & cold inhospitable mountains. No nuclear war since there will be no large scale invasuon by either party. May be a naval conflict but Indian Navy is pathetic. If somehow land disput is resolved India/China can co exist harmoniously as distinct economical block.

A large scale invasion is possible. China could do what Russia did with Belarus and base soldiers out of Pakistan, Myanmar, Bengladesh.
