This just isn't China's style. China has a steady policy of noninterference in a sovereign country's internal affair. They see things like arming insurgent groups as the kind of thing American and Western powers do and have an aversion to doing the same thing. If China really wanted to put pressure on India, they have far more direct and pointed methods

I know it’s not their style, at least officially but it’s not like China has never done something on that front. Plus they don’t necessarily need to arm the groups, ‘causing problems’ have many dimensions.

Despite what India likes to claim, the various group are basically put down with force, supporting their goals and bringing their plight to the international stage and hammering on it would already cause a headache for India. Further it doesn’t need to be done officially, just having a means to bypass the Indians usual tactics of shutting down the internet is already good enough.

Wasn't this dude pretty much the most ineffectual US ambassador to China in decades and frozen out of meeting any Chinese government, business or institutional parties of importance? I remember reading an article that he was so excited to meet and host a US delegation that was visiting China a year or so into his posting because otherwise he had nothing to do and was just staring at the walls all day basically. So we are supposed to listen to this loser's opinion on anything China related? Right...

It's ridiculous, of course, and it will be the next shoe to fall.

Burns is further ahead on the "conventional thinking" ladder than most talking heads in the US. But he's still not up to date. The reality is that the US's domestic situation is increasingly dysfunctional, and the Trump administration has only accelerated the trend towards lower living standards, infrastructural decay, and rising inequality.

But the elites of the empire will always be the last to find out that they are without clothes; that the impression more & more visitors to the US get is not of wonder and awe, but of disappointment and alarm.

One thing Burns does have right is that the US's alliance system is one of the last real vestiges of US power (the other being its financial markets). If Trump hadn't pissed them off, they indeed could have done more damage together vs. China.

As it is, though, Trump is learning the important lesson that there's a reason things are the way they are. You can't just dictate to the world what you want to happen; this isn't 2000 any more.

You are just repeating the same US lines as "Because China does not send artillery shells to Russia, China must have been conceeded to US pressure in exchange for US doing less in trade war or Taiwan" or "Because China spent time to replace USD payment in trade with Russia and Iran, China must have been collabrating with the west's sanction of the two countries."

It is really "amuzing" that after so many years and so many times there are still some people repeating these lines of cheap western propaganda.
