No, because India does not claim control over Tibet, only over Arunachal Pradesh. China that claims all of Tibet.
So India has 100% control over its claim in this region. This means India is winning by your logic.
Taiwan's "thriving democracy" in a nutshell.
The so-called "Blue faction" of the KMT and TPP command a parliamentary majority. They are able to pass laws without the DPP and wanted to pass a new law that would require ID verification to sponsor recall votes.
You can see how "Green/DPP" reframes the definition of democracy by suggesting that the DPP is protecting democracy by violating the parliamentary process and this is a new "social movement"
I agree here. ROC lost. PRC won.
Here there is already another conflict. Sovereignty of Taiwan and the Strait.
Is it a stalemate or a defeat for China?
If territory lost is more important, then it is a defeat for China.
Not at all. One of the objectives is to keep Ukraine independent against Russia and he is achieving this, keeping most of the Ukrainian territory. Therefore it is more than 0% achievement.
Ukraine is also keeping 40% of Donetsk, 35% of Zaporizhye, 18% of Kherson and 3% of Lugansk.
Here, in the battle for Donbass, Russia is actually winning!
But the war in Ukraine is more than the control of Donbass.
At the moment, both Russia and Ukraine are claiming partial victories.

So you are changing Russia's goals to cope a partial victory here.
Russia is acting like Taiwan.
@Bellum_Romanum, so if Ukraine continues to exist, Ukrainians can do the same as China and claim that Crimea and Donbass continue to be theirs but only administered by the Russians.

I see someone else did a lot of the writing for me today... I'll just have to add on then.
You also don't understand that the splitting of an outcome is on a spectrum in terms of whom it favors, rather than a trinomial result. But actually, war is almost never black and white in terms of resolution. Victory is sold by the gram, not by half or one.
It seems your thinking is very ridged. It's just the stated goals, exactly that, nothing more, total honesty (no hiding more sinister goals) and it's either total victory, total defeat, or stalemate. You think it's a loss to let a drug leader escape even if you annexed his country. If you consider that a defeat, you're debating in a different language than anyone else. We'd all like to take the land; after that, we've forgotten about the escaped drug lord/warlord, terrorist or whatever the hell was cus it doesn't matter anymore compared the magnanimity of territorial expansion!

This is funny, though. These 2 lines, one written above other contradict. In the Chinese Civil War, neither side got all of their objectives or we would not have a separately governed Taiwan today. Both Mao and Chiang wanted control of all Chinese territories; Mao to the lion's share and Chiang held onto a sliver. By your definition, that is partial on both sides and it would be a stalemate, but then you acknowledge that it was a PRC victory.
The evidence and logic is in the text you just read.
Europeans have shown nothing that deserves more credit. They dare do nothing unless led by others or the pack. You, one the other hand, make the gross error of underestimating Russia, a country that is historically known for war-time stamina. You think Russia's economy won't hold much longer or that he has a Trump timeline for negotiation but actually, the Russia economy is adapting and accelerating to a new norm and Russia's military is just getting warmed up. Trump may want this to end because he wants to focus on China, but Putin's having a great time so if you wanna cash him out early, you're gonna have to give him an incentive that's way better than just whatever chips he has in his hand at that time.
Let's see the examples. Keep in mind I said after they created the EU and NATO, they resigned themselves to pack rat mentality so ancient history isn't gonna do.
What? Are you just making random stuff up? Like "who guarantees that the poor won't eat the rich in the West by next year? Who guarantees aliens won't invade and unite the human race? Who guarantees that the earth won't explode tomorrow?" ...Like this?
Stalemate is based on power balance, not action.
Having power overmatch means you can achieve victory without fighting, being power overmatched means can become dead man walking.
Mainland China has power overmatch over Taiwan, Ukraine/NATO is power overmatched by Russia/China, and China has power overmatch against India.
Western culture never seem to be able to comprehend this basic Art of War concept, barbarian brains just never evolved that far.
This incident I have no details about, as only see it here.
Then a quick search got some more details here.
Apparently there is this American company that does drone shows, SKY ELEMENTS.
I looked into that in the past, and this American SKY ELEMENTS is using Chinese tech to do these drone shows.
These drones are made in China, but not sure who drones are they, forget if they bought from DJI or they made those drones themselves.
There is more to this story, we will find out the details, maybe.
You can't be ACTUALLY SERIOUS about the comparison between Crimea and Taiwan now are you?
Could be a false flag to ban DJI
First the airport shutdowns, now kids getting killed during xmas...
Seems like its prelude to full drone ban
