I come from india, and even though i hate how india is treating people nowadays, I just can't help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards it when it comes to border conflicts with china/pakistan. A lot of people here, even those who don't identify strictly with the hindu nationalist movement have a sense of enmity towards china then and now because of how they acted regarding the intial conflict at a Himalayan border.

Maybe this goes beyond the scope of the original question. but do maoists see maoist china as totally perfect, as if they have done/can do no wrong? because whenever i look at events like the border conflict between china and india, and how china acted towards tibet, I can only get the feeling that they've been the initial aggressors.

this is my first post on here, so please be gentle

    Borders are a bitch. However China settled its border with Pakistan peacefully which superficially makes it seem as it is India who don't have the ability to solve borders peacefully with its neighbours.

    I see China acting very aggressively as they daily remind themselves of how their land was given by the US to Japan and others after WWII. India's new foreign policy is to ally with the US and join the anti-China regional block that has no interest in solving the current India/China border conflict. But since China control the water flow from the Himalayas downstream, India will have to eventually bend the knee to China or go to war.
