India is not 100% hostile, only 90% hostile.I mean what is China's military defence forum suppose to discuss besides USA? Martians? Ghosts? Why would you ignore the nuclear armed fascist hostile neighbour which is the elephant in the room. Think to your self, which country on China's borders can actually threaten China's security and has the motives to do so. Which country is designing and procuring weapons explicitly aimed towards a conflict with China? Which of China's neighbours has extended hostilities towards China since the founding of the PRC. Which of China's neighbours still have a unmarked land borders with China. In the long term, China only has one giant threat on its doorstep and its not Japan or Russia. Just because India is relative poor, doesn't mean they are automatically China's friend.
Wishing for an Indian collapse is a foolish strategy, the USSR collapsed due to internal and external factors. Historically, great empires which bordered China didn't collapse by themselves. China should be proactive and apply the same lesson.
They can still be useful due to their own interests, such as promoting BRICS payment systems shown at Kazan.
