British India invaded China repeated over 100 years ago, they invaded China longer than the Japs did.

Ie. when India was under foreign domination and its people forced to fight for the occupation government, and even turn their weapons on their own people under pain of death if they refused. By that logic Iraq should be skeptical of joining BRI, since Chinese soldiers were part of Hulegu Khan's army and were the ones responsible for breaching Baghdad's walls.

Since then, there was as you said one border war in 1962 and the recent skirmishes that were now resolved. I don't know how this exactly bodes for a future where Indian soldiers will be sacking Beijing again if China doesn't do what some posters suggest they do, or how it deserves priority over the current BRICS summit.

Your analogy would only make sense if China uses Hulegu's Khan's conquest to claim Baghdad as part of PRC which is absurd. Yet you don't find it absurd that "independent" India take their colonial master's claims to xizang and other Chinese territories. If Indians were truly forced at gunpoint by the British to invade xizang, why do they do the same after their independence?

BRICS summit comes and goes, nothing much changes. The B in BRICS didn't even show up this time, this summit is just hyped up to give face to Putin, I have low expectation for this summit.

Like many here, I find India annoying and I sometimes laugh at the anti-India jokes. Perhaps Indians make similar jokes about Chinese.

Nevertheless, let us assume a situation of forced reunification in Taiwan.

Would India blockade China?
Would India bomb China?
Would India send troops to Taiwan?

Now let us ask - would the USA do all of the following?

The answers to these questions tell us the fundamental difference between India and the USA. One country is annoying and frustrating but ultimately tolerable. The other country is malicious and genocidal.

"Is Five Eyes destabilising India's rise as non-white power？Idea is as old as Cold War era

The Five Eyes, which includes the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, is a well-established intelligence-sharing network among these English-speaking countries. Since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s accusations against India rely on intelligence rather than hard evidence, many speculate that the knowledge came from the Five Eyes. The clandestine nature of Five Eyes’ operations makes it a fertile ground for geopolitical intrigue.

What's India's equivalent damage to China? Palki Sharma's constant wishful thinking about her dear supapowah India and the crashing See See Pee Chinese economy? Who's their main target audience other than their own already propagandized masses. Banning Tiktok and other Chinese apps? Woop woop...What India has done against China is in my opinion more of a nuisance than an actual real tangible damage. Even the Galwan clash, the Indians got severely beaten and 20 of their soldiers lost their lives and a horde of IA prisoners, while the PLA sadly lost 4. Let's put things in perspective and we should try to be more objective with our views on geopolitics.

If India having that ability, it will definitely do it no matter how china do. India still host dalai lama and support separatism in tibet. Also Losing 4 Chinese soldiers is still too much to trade for just sh*ty friendship and BRICS that's just temporary economic gains. If china don't comply what will India do anyways?

I love the fact that they publish the amount of money spent on anti china propaganda! Everytime someone accuses me of being a 'wumao' online, I just throw out that they are trying to get their piece of the 1.6 billion USD. Usually shuts them up good. Lol I hope more and more ppl use the 1.6 billion and make it into a common enough meme or phrase to hit back at those online keyboard warriors.

I think its related to Venzuela. Venzuela may have largest non BRICS delegation in this summit as they came in two planes.

The newspaper "G1" reports this, pointing out that this "possible veto" would represent a further sign of distancing between the Brazilian president and Nicolás Maduro

Censorship and deletion of discussion about the China-India deal in Weibo is normal if you consider the high stakes involved and the potential backroom dealing that will probably never be disclosed in public.

Ultimately, you just have to trust the CPC leadership that it has the good of the country as it's guiding principle and that it will always look after it's national interests. For this deal to be made, it means China has gained something. Now if you believe this or not, that's irrelevant. I believe that CPC is neither a treasonous or an incompetent organisation. As long as both these things don't apply, I am more than willing to trust it's decisions

At most, if someone really wants to make a deep analysis of this deal, they have to holistically see the global geopolitical environment for the next 5 years and try to see if India's behaviour changes

to put it bluntly a million strong Pakistan Armed Forces would seriously curtail Indian decision makers to go full against China
