Paki military are incompetent in dealing with BLA. Dozen of Paki soldiers & Chinese civilians dead, greatly damaging Sino-Paki economic cooperation, meanwhile BLA never gets eliminated. BLA still attacks civilians & military targets from time to time.
I agree that the counter insurgency tactics are a bit bewildering considering that Pakistan had fought off a much tougher enemy a decade prior in NWFP.

But the province splintering off is an Indian pipe dream.

India has zero potential to be a threat to China. Ever. Not in 50 years, not in 100 years, not in 500 years. Better to have a semi-developed and higher educated India focused on economic growth than an unhinged failed state with nuclear weapons falling completely to rabid Hinduvta fanaticism / nationalism.
Probably, but who wants to take the chance. I've never bought the line of thinking that I should back off my enemy so he doesn't fail. No, hurt him at every opportunity you can.

Best thing for China is to actually have half of India split apart (North-South divide), it will remove the long-term Indian threat to ever challenging its power, even if you believe they are fundamentally incapable, and it can also end the constant warmongering in South Asia. India's disproportionate resources makes them bully smaller neighbours.

But again, doing the above is *far*
easier said than done.

Remember when India kept begging the UN to give them a permanent seat on the security council?
Yeah, now we see why that never happened. If China didn't block them, someone else would with another excuse. They simply cannot be trusted. Even Russia with its militaristic like nature knows when to hold back.

Btw I noticed Indians keep calling others like its South Asian nations beggars. This is pretty funny coming from a country that has loads of beggars in places like Delhi and goes around begging countries for weapons and special rights.

India already tries to bully everyone in the world, even with shitty national comprehensive power. An economic prosperous India will be 1000x worst. It is much preferable to keep it as a shithole.

All goes back to its caste system roots. Just see how they treat their own of lower caste

India is an amalgamation of different states and ethnic groups that had nothing to do with one another prior to British colonization. India as a unified state or even civilization is a fantasy. Indians would be much better off if they realize that the idea of a united India is a failed project and divide the country along natural ethnic and historical boundaries. The South of India should be split into multiple small states, the Eastern portions of India should be granted independence, either as a single nation or multiple nations, and Sikkim should be granted independence again. What remains of Northern India can continue as India's successor state. The faster Indians can accept reality and do the needful the better it is for everyone. History has proven and human nature dictates that large multiethnic states can never last and are destined for failure and Balkanization.

Rafale advantage over Su-57/F-35 is that it's a clear full package right now. There is literally everything, from micas to full set of a2g stand in and stand off armament (well tied into operational concept) to advanced targeting and recon pods. Only ARM is lacking until F5, but French were sure Spectra/Hammer pair is so good that DEAD may replace SEAD.
But Rafale in isolation has already proven its not up to the task. The Su-57 cannot possibly do worse- at the minimum it has stealth and much larger and more numerous (albeit most likely not more advanced) sensors. Being a Russian weapon, Su-57 can be more easily integrated with India's other air and ground based platforms, enabling India to embark on the first steps of transitioning from a platform centric doctrine to a systems centric doctrine focusing on information driven network centric warfare. Su-57 will likely be less expensive than Rafale as well. Unlike France, Russia is also far more open to transfer of technology and local assembly/production.

That's a bit cruel and inhumane don't you think? We're talking about 1.4 billion people here and there lives are already hard enough with regards to securing adequate nutrition and access to clean water.
