They need to start replacing everything with 100% indigenous ASAP. Apps and software is a little easier. When it comes to businesses that run on capital and investments which Chinese previously supplied, these guys are in a world of hurt now and the overall multiplier effect of a trade war would be absolutely devastating. India is not the USA and has even less of a trade deficit with plenty to lose and even more lined up. Will the CCP eventually respond? The Indians aren't backing down. Having lost the military option, they seem to be doubling down on economic warfare. The CCP moves like a snail sometimes but often for the right reasons.

Then again to be fair to Indian decisions, they don't have any decent options and need to take this crisis of relations in any way that can eventually go somewhere positive for India. Having peace with Pakistan and China isn't an option to them for irrational reasons and maybe many are convinced such a thing is impossible and not in India's interest anyway. It's obviously always China and Pakistan's fault. India doesn't want to exist in an Asia dominated by China so they may as well make their animosity abundantly clear now if their actions from 2013 onwards wasn't obvious enough.
The problem here is that they are hurting themselves more than they are the Chinese side. CCP should just not respond and let them figure it out on their own.
The $6 billion calculation was also echoed by cntechpost which sourced it from a chinese website. It would make me feel better if it was only made up by Indian analysts but this appears to be form chinese analyst as well. Overall Tik Tok Will survivor but I hope other countries won’t start banning it as well on flimsy reasoning.
Interestingly here it says Google and Facebook each got $1 billion each in revenue.
I guess we'll see what happens.
That is what happened in 1962. As per the Brooks-Henderson report, India started the war and then lost.
So the Indian media went with the India as a victim and is justified in seeking vengeance.
But in 2020, that narrative won't work in Kashmir because the Kashmiri people will publicly celebrate the defeat of the oppressive Indian Army occupying Kashmir.
I usually agree with what you write, but I have to disagree vehemently with your analysis here. COVID-19 is indeed a freak, once-in-a-century event, but it's not geopolitically usable in the sense you think. The obvious objection is this: what happens once the vaccines are delivered? The West would just defer its retaliation to China invading Taiwan until after the COVID crisis passes. There's no way to cut off all avenues of American retaliation at present and there won't be for at least a decade.
And yes, it is certain that by the middle of the century China's economy will be multiple times the size of America's and its military more than a match for it not just in the western Pacific, but around the world.
It's disgusting, they've made Youtube unusable. Searching for any good content on China there is like wading in the Ganges.
I am more interested to know what china is going to do regarding South China Sea as it holds the key to China's own natural gas & reserves. I take it would be top on China's priority list rather than Taiwan. If west comes in bulk tomorrow in SCS , will China go to war for SCS?
