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.

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)
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.
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.
