For decades, India's border strategy was to avoid building infrastructure for fear of provoking China. In 2013, Defence Minister A.K. Antony admitted: India did not develop its border with China because it believed doing so would antagonise China. That was the policy India followed since Independence. Today, the approach... show more

Chaardhaam Yatra Road. For decades, the Indian Army asked for it, but secular governments refused to build it. While China was building highways near the border, Congress Defence Minister AK Antony said India's policy for many years was not to develop border infrastructure, believing an "undeveloped border is more safe than a developed border." When completed by the current government, the new strategic mountain highway will not only serve pilgrims but also the Indian Army which will finally get rapid access to the Himalayas to counter China.

Once Former Defence Minister of India AK Antony admitting before the Indian parliament in 2013 that for years even after Independence, India didn’t develop the border with China. There was no construction of roads or airfields. Says, he has no hesitation in admitting the TRUTH. During Modi Govt👇

#WATCH | | Delhi | China's ambassador to India, Xu Feihong says," This time, during the Chinese FM visit to India, he had a very important talk with Mr Doval on the boundary issue. They reached a consensus on 10 points. Two groups will be set up by our two sides over the border issue. One group will be for border delimitation into appropriate sectors. The second group will focus on proper management of the border and border areas....We should not define the border issue as relationship between our two countries. The border issue is on one side, and cooperation between India and China is on the other side." "The visit of Prime Minister Modi to China will be a very important event not only for the SCO but for the bilateral relationship between the two countries. A working group from China and India are preparing to make this visit a successful one. We attach great importance to this visit."

Can China completely stop the flow of the Brahmaputra into India? Not entirely. A significant share of the river's water is contributed by tributaries and monsoon rainfall after it enters India. However, experts note that China can still influence the timing of water flows through upstream reservoirs and dams, especially during the dry season, and by controlling the sharing of hydrological data. China is also building a massive hydropower project near the Great Bend of the Brahmaputra, close to the Indian border. At the same time, India is accelerating dam and infrastructure projects in the Brahmaputra basin to strengthen its own water security. As rivers become increasingly important in regional strategy, could water management emerge as one of Asia's most significant geopolitical challenges? #China #india #Bangladesh #brahmaputrariver #flood

When an Indian expert accused China of damaging the Indian economy with its trade surplus, Victor Gao responded by saying that in 1978, the economies of China and India were of similar size, but now China is five times larger than India, and India's GDP is less than 20% of China's. So, at least for now, India is not qualified to be a competitor to China. 😅

The Lebanese villages that are right by the border with Israel are empty. An overwhelming majority of their residents have not returned. There is no significant, permanent, and continuous return of #Hezbollah to them. The return of residents who would serve as human shields for Hezbollah's and enable its renewed presence on the border must not be allowed. We must prevent the rehabilitation and renewed construction of a large terror infrastructure strip adjacent to the border with #Israel as it was before the war.

Q & A: Do the US🇺🇸 and Europe🇪🇺 think India🇮🇳 is the best alternative to China🇨🇳? Afshin Rattansi: ‘I don't think India is an alternative to China, specifically because China and India are so interlocked. India's biggest trading partner is China overtaking the United States now, $151 billion. And let alone the fact that NATO needs Chinese rare earths for its missiles and military equipment. So Europe and the United States need China. And arguably, with China comes India. They also need India.’ Have a question for Afshin Rattansi?

Medog County, located in the southeastern part of Xizang, China, sits on the border between China and India. It was once an isolated "plateau island," reachable only on foot by crossing snow-covered mountain passes over 4,000 meters above sea level. Since 2013, China has steadily invested billions of yuan in building roads to Medog. Today, these projects with extraordinary construction difficulties and little prospect of turning a profit, are bringing happy and rosperous life to people on the frontier.

The funniest part of JD Vance’s speech is the ending: “I am angry about the rise of China… but I am most angry that American leadership let it happen.” Let it happen? As if China’s rise was an American clerical error. As if 1.4 billion people industrialized because Washington forgot to lock the door. China was sanctioned, contained, smeared, tariffed, and technologically strangled. And still it became the world’s strongest industrial economy. India had the population. India had English. India had earlier access to the WTO. India had Western approval, “democracy” branding, and decades of geopolitical courtship. Capital still chose China. Factories still chose China. Supply chains still chose China. Why? Because civilization is not built by flattering Washington. It is built by infrastructure, discipline, engineers, workers, logistics, electricity, education, and state capacity. America’s next ten years are not about competing with China. That phase is already over. America is now competing with India for who can disappoint capital less. China’s real opponent was never America. China’s real opponent is its own execution, its own discipline, its own ability to keep building without believing Western noise. Vance is angry because China rose. But what really humiliates him is this: America tried to stop it. And China rose anyway.

Located on China’s southwestern border, Ngari Prefecture in the Xizang Autonomous Region—with an average elevation of more than 4,500 meters—is endowed with unique resources by its exceptional natural environment. From breeding the “soft-gold” white cashmere goats to the rise of vibrant border trade, Xizang is accelerating its opening-up. This momentum is fueled by steadily improving connectivity and infrastructure. With better transportation and increased flows of people and goods, these high-altitude areas are no longer viewed as “forbidden zones for human activity.” In the bustling border markets, a dazzling array of goods connects communities in China and Nepal. Border trade has not only become a vital source of income and prosperity for residents, but also serves as a strong bridge promoting exchanges and cooperation between China and South Asian countries.

Y’all, MULTIPLE TIMES throughout the video the white lady & border patrol mention this is NOT at a border crossing but some point that is within 100 miles of a border crossing. Again, THIS WAS NOT AT A BORDER CROSSING. It was a checkpoint in the US WITHIN 100 miles of the border. So.... Border Patrol can have checkpoints up to 100 miles from our actual border. Drive through west Texas and Southern New Mexico, you'll hit a border patrol checkpoint. They will ask you your citizenship. This has been in place for decades....

The boundary question between China and India is a complex sensitive question left over from history. It concerns the sentiment of our peoples, and requires dialogue and consultation to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution. In recent years, China and India have maintained regular communication on boundary questions through mechanisms such as the Special Representatives (SR) and the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC). Currently, the border situation is generally stable and peaceful. The two countries should put the boundary question at an appropriate position in bilateral relations, not allow the boundary question to define the overall China-India relations, still less let specific differences affect bilateral cooperation.

Kaitlan Collins: "They're sanctioning India because they're buying and importing Russian oil. China is doing way more than that and they have not been tariffed for for bringing in Russian oil."
