China claims land that is not theirs?
Wow, never seen that before…
It seems so strategically dumb for China to keep provoking India on these meaningless pieces of territory. This pushes India towards US.
It would be in China’s strategic interest to keep completely shut and make no indication that it wants to change the status quo with India. I wonder if these fails are not deliberate on China’s part, but a result of rogue (dumb) functionaries not being able to recognize a difference between internal Kool-Aid and the real China’s position.
Countries aren’t rational actors who make the most logical action.
Removed by mod
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
And now they need a new revolution
(Like almost everyone else)
and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
The ones that survived…
Same with Taiwan if they had just kept their open for business face on from around the Beijing Olympics and hadn’t gone down the wolf warrior diplomacy path they would be well in the way to peacefully integrating by now. It would still require 20 or so years of positive diplomacy but I thought that was supposed to be Chinas strength… taking the long term view.
they would be well in the way to peacefully integrating by now.
I disagree. With the Hong Kong fiasco, any hope for re-integration disappeared.
Yes Hong Kong was the big reveal but they only had to wait there as well. It all could have happened peacefully if they had just been patient.
Yeah, HK was when hope for peace started to die.
Everyone expects Russia to Russia, but as deluded as they were, we still had hopes China could slowly join a peaceful international society.

We will get very angry, and we will send you a letter telling you how angry we are
Will there be some serious foot stomping?
No but we will “Tsk Tsk” very audibly.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Indian media have reported that the map shows the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau as China’s territory.
India’s protest comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on the sidelines of the Brics summit in South Africa.
The source of the tension between the neighbours is a disputed 3,440km (2,100 mile)-long de facto border along the Himalayas - called the Line of Actual Control, or LAC - which is poorly demarcated.
China says it considers the whole of Arunachal Pradesh its territory, calling it “South Tibet” - a claim India firmly rejects.
In April, Delhi reacted sharply to China’s attempts to rename 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh, saying the state would always be "an “integral and inalienable part of India”.
Relations between India and China have worsened since 2020, when their troops were involved in a deadly clash at the Galwan valley in Ladakh - it was the first fatal confrontation between the two sides since 1975.
The original article contains 401 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Taiwan claims it too. China and Taiwan must be unified in their territorial claims, whether that is along the Himalayan border or in the South China Sea. Taiwanese and Chinese land claims move in lockstep
