Only Indians would consider China their mortal enemy. Frankly, if South Tibet weren't legally Chinese territory, most Chinese wouldn't even bother with it (this might be part of China's strategic plans).
Even if China one day no longer needs Russian resources, it doesn't want Russia to become its enemy. Therefore, maintaining friendly relations with Russia is the wisest choice. You can't try to dismantle Russia just because you think it might be a threat. Doing so will never bring peace; pursuing absolute security in the external environment will only lead to war.

Indians try to claim China as their enemy not because it may or may not be the case, but because it boosts their own self prestige and “Izzat”. It’s like the disease ridden fentanyl addicted bum on the street trying to claim 1980s Mike Tyson is his mortal enemy.

If India can maintain a 7% growth rate for 30 years, then I would willingly accept India's existence as a superpower.
I mean, IF!

India can keep growing at 7 percent but still be stuck in poverty as its currency keeps losing value. Rupee has lost several percent per year long term.

so the 7% growth is in Rupee ... so what is the number in US$ .... Zimbabwe could have growth of >1,000,000% if it was in old Zimbabwe dollar

So, the Japanese think it’s a good idea to make Trump look like he’s NOT in control of Japan? Especially since he has NOT refuted the leaks and rumors of him ordering Japan to knock it off? Especially since he’s clearly trying to engage China with all these announcements lately of upcoming 4 planned meetings with Xi Jinping? Especially since Trump has proven he doesn’t like to be made to look in like he’s not in control with his reaction to India dismissing his claim of pacifying India and Pakistan just earlier this year? Very amateurish. This will backfire. The Japanese government is shoving their entire stash of geopolitical capital into the fire for short term domestic popularity. Burning treasure to heat the home for comfort.

Shanghai may have a lot of cucks. But people can't be perfect. As long as they generate a net benefit to China and not doing stuff like selling Chinese military secrets, they can be accepted. Everyone has their role to play.

As for Japan I apply for the same thing as Korea. For most of history they were nobodies and China was hogging all the spotlight. It's only in the recent century thanks to western tech they are finally somebody. And now they are seeing that go away since not only can China also learn western tech but possible even better than them. Korea is angry their time in the sun is cut short while Japan is angry their glory will be coming to an end soon and they will be going back to that boring island.

When you had something and now you don't or will lose it, of co you will angey

Oh BTW, just a reminder, SeeSeePee was born in Shanghai.

India's threat to China is not immediate, but will materialize in 20 to 30 years. If India maintains its rapid growth rate of 7%, it will become a neighbor that poses significant challenges for China three decades from now.

For those who view India as a current or future threat to China within a certain number of years, please provide a well-articulated timeline detailing when this might occur, how it would unfold, what the tipping points would be, and the specific conditions required for this concern to materialize.

If we're relying solely on arguments like population dividends and growth rates—which are often questionable and suspect—I'm not convinced that India possesses the necessary elements, such as the right culture, scientific acumen, discipline, and perseverance to endure challenging times. This stands in stark contrast to what the Chinese people have demonstrated in modern history, particularly since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

When judging the two countries' efforts in tackling severe air pollution, including their respective strategies and action plans, China dominates the competition effortlessly. India, by comparison, is nowhere near competitive, and its efforts are beyond a joke at this point.

Okay kid, stop being naive and grown up. I know you can make better argument than this

The PH is not a threat to China full stop. It's an irritant nothing more due to its station as the U.S. most loyal vassal and a defense treaty ally. Without the latter, the PH would not even dare to make a hay regarding its dispute in the SCS with China.

Lesson here is that long wars are debilitating as Sun Tzu astutely pointed out. The U.S. wants China to engage in a similar long war so they can profit as they did from the early days of ww1 and ww2, just as China is supposedly benefiting from the Ukraine war much to the chagrin of the west as they are forced to work with China since they depend on China for so much. Nexperia really showed them who’s boss.

since the western puppet, Ukraine is failing and since European leaders are cowards, they are desperately looking for another meat shield nation to be ground down on Russian borders. This explains the massive defence spending amongst EU nations and the return of conscription in Germany.

question is, why don’t these European nations send all those immigrants clamouring to get into Europe, off to the Ukraine war?
