Grow a spine. No country has become a super power without fighting. You think America will not try to destroy china no matter who is the president? America thrives on war. We just have to win.

Well of course they do. It's actually kinda sad for China to lose an ally like India for a tiny bit of land.
Huh jaishankar and even manmohan already tilting to U.S. From nuclear deal until the recent data sharing agreement.
Not gonna happen. Looks more like Americans are on the verge of a revolt.
Also, War is not just bombs and planes and aircraft carrier. Covid is a simple strand of DNA and America is losing to it. Use your imagination, do you really think China will fight a war in the conventional sense? Now they know Americas weakness is a stupid flu.

Don't you mean sad for India to lose an ally in China? India was working against China decades before the 1962 war. India made it choices.
China kind of flew under the radar during the 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s. That's because China is smart and is biding its time. If China were to not do so back then I don't think China will be able to enjoy its major power status nowadays. China in 2020 is too big to ignore but China in the 1990s is similar in power with Russia. Look where Russia is at nowadays. Russia is basically Europe's gas station with a ton of sanctions slapped onto them and little consumer-oriented industry whatsoever. You've never heard of Russian smartphones, Russian tech industry or Russian innovation nowadays because Russia's belligerent attitude never allowed Western companies to invest modern tech into it. China wouldn't be where it is nowadays if it didn't bide its time back then.
Ultimately what I fear from Trump is that his underlings are lunatic and Trump either doesn't realize the severity or thinks their craziness is bargaining chip against China.
Biden won't be the most friendly president but he most likely won't do neither crazy or petty things and he can reined his underlings if he needed to.

Hitler lost. Being evil doesn't mean you will win.
A vast oversimplification. Russia can feed itself and even export food. It has energy security. It has a vast minerals sector and is basically a world leader in all sorts of metals from aluminum to titanium. Because of their somewhat limited population, their semiconductor sector never grew properly. Their market is basically the size of Japan in terms of number of people and we know how that's trending. Also do not expect them to invest in things like solar cells or electric cars. These are basically unthinkable and make no economic sense there. Gas is cheap.
Russia is also a world leader in all applications of nuclear technology. They were using gas centrifuge technology for enrichment before anyone else did back in Soviet times. Today they are a world leader in Generation III+ nuclear reactor construction and offer both turnkey and pay only for generated electricity business models. No one else does this. They have fast breeder reactors like the BN-800. They also have more advanced nuclear fuel reprocessing than anyone else currently. If this is just "a gas station" I think a lot of countries would like to be in this position. Just try reading about the progress of MOX fuel fabrication in Russia vs the US. It is a litany of US failure.
A Biden Presidency might LOOK like it would get China off the hook but they would basically try to reinstate the TPP. Or they would reintroduce sanctions later anyway. They were already doing it to Russia. It might simply happen he would just keep some of the sanctions on China.
