A China-India border conflict has left 20 Indian soldiers dead and, although China refuses to release details, information from India states that 35 Chinese troops were killed. The border dispute arose as a result of unclear boundries being assigned after the two nuclear powers last major dispute in 1962.
What is the Reason for the Conflict?
The deep reasons for the conflict, appear to be China's long-term goal, which will take a minute to explain.
One reason for the clash, is likely that China may be planning to attempt to take the Democratic island nation of Taiwan back under it's Marxist control. Taiwan is to China, as Cuba (Marxist) is the U.S. (Democratic).
Taiwan has been a free and Democratic country (also of ethnic Chinese people )since the Chinese civil war, which ended in 1949. Unfortunately, the communists won. The marxists therefore kept the mainland and the democratic capitalists who were fighting the communists in the civil war fled to the island of Taiwan, where they created a free and Democratic nation.
China wants Taiwan, because the Marxists have a goal of being the world's sole superpower by 2049, and, essentially, to run the whole world by 2049 (more on this at the bottom). To achieve this goal the Marxists need full, undisputed control of the so-called South "China" sea trade routes, which the rest of the world recognizes as free "international waters," because many countries need to use them. To monopolize control over these waters, China needs control of Taiwan. They also want to reestablish the ancient Chinese land-control, which included Taiwan.
China has stated that they want a war for control of the South China sea (and to achieve other strategic objectives) to begin, and end, at least 20 years before 2049. So according to some sources, China wants war through 2029. They want a war to end by 2029 because they believe it takes 20 years for other nations to "forget" their anger about a previous war, and China wants to achieve Marxist "glory" worldwide by their 100th year anniversary as a communist nation. China is operating according to a playbook, written a few years back by a Chinese general, entitled, "Unrestricted Warfare," which is essentially an a-moral war strategy, in which they feel that can use any tactic that works to win.
Due to Chiner's goal for world domination, which begins with gaining control of the South Sea and taking back Taiwan, China started amassing troops on the *Indian* border recently, because they know that the U.S.A. and our allies, which includes 30 nations ("NATO") as well as Japan, South Korea, and *India,* will help Taiwan and fight against Chinese control of the South Sea, which I also call the, Asian International Sea, and recommend no longer associating it with China due to their Marxist aggression.
Pakistan, Iran, and Venezuela (and maybe Russia but not sure) would likely ally with China, although Russia does not like China either, and would likely come under threat from China, should the Chi-comm get any more powerful.
In any war involving the U.S. and China, war strategists claim the U.S. Navy and Marines would block China's oil and trade shipments on the Pacific side through Privateers (guys who commandeer and take over trading ships) and thereby block oil and other vital economic shipments from coming or going to China.
Further, India and the U.S. Navy and Marines would likely team up to further block oil and other vital economic shipments coming from the Atlantic and through the Indian ocean side. Without oil and trade shipments coming in by sea, China would rapidly go broke, and, even more importantly, they would run out of oil rapidly in any war situation.
So this border dispute is about China essentially threatening India, by amassing troops on the Indian border. China's message, it appears, is something like: "If India helps the US and NATO defend Taiwan through a naval blockade, China will send massive numbers of Chinese troops to the Indian border to gain control of the Himalayas, which would also keep a large number of Indian troops busy with China, while, on the other side, Pakistan would look to expand it's borders, forcing India into a three front war -at sea and on their northeast and northwest borders.
India has a large population, however, and the result of such a conflict is debatable. It would likely be a tie between India and China and a waste of life. Nevertheless,China would like gain greater control over the disputed Ladakh area anyway, to stop potential future attempts for an independent Tibet. China also gets a lot of its water from the rivers that come from the mountain range.
So China wants undisputed control of all new claimed territory, including the South China Sea, Taiwan, and likely parts of India by 2029, to prevent constant conflict after 2029, because that would interfere with China's desire for "world glory" and "Chinese communist supremecy" by 2049. They are also very jealous of the U.S. and Europe, since these nations have essentially held the most powerful world positions for the last 2,000 years, and the Chinese communist leaders apparently have an inferiority complex, and thus, want to be the new number one to stop feeling inferior. The Chinese have no need to feel inferior, however. They ought to simply compete ethically and legally. Chinese life shares the same invoilable value as everybody else. The communist parties inferiority complex, therefore, is really just an effect of hidden-pride, and pride comes, before a fall.
China's initial cold war type tactic of "Unrestricted Warfare," likely has included bio-war under the guise of an "accident," cell tower hacks, possibly funding Antifa and others through dark money, to vandalize the U.S. and turn its citizens against one another, etc. China is also seeking to intimidate the world, so other nations do not interfere with their "Belt and Road Initiative."
The "Belt and Road Initiative" is China's plan for taking economic control over the world. Some of the trade infrastructure related to the Initiative runs through Pakistan, in areas which India could easily take in a war against Pakistan, which would make it harder for China to reach part of its goal, which is to take over the Middle East and Africa, through their "Belt and Road Initiative." China needs highways and railways and airports to run through Pakistan into the Middle East and Africa for truckers and trains to transport products.
The "Belt and Road Initiative" is a 20 years, $18 trillion dollar plot, that uses "debt-trap diplomacy" to build trade infrastructure in poor countries (airports, railroads, highways, sea ports). They grant a third-world a country as high interest loan, to pay *Chinese workers* (lol) to build the infrastructure. Then, when the third-world country can't pay back their high interest loan, China repos the infrastructure, takes legal control over it, and makes the airport, sea port, railroad, or highway a Chinese military base/transportation system.
Once China gets its military is in place at these infrastructure locations around the world, which includes South America, they want a one world "international law" that will govern and police all the land, air, and sea trade routes, that all nations involved will be forced to comply with, to participate. And nations that don't want to participate, that are caught in the middle of two or more other nations that accepted the deal, will be pressured and politically or militarily attacked through paid-for protests and bribed politicians, etc.
China will develop this 'international trade law" for the countries involved and own all the infrastrucure. In addition, the numerous Chinese workers and their families that build the airports, sea-ports, highways, and railways, and later military members and their families who occupy them, will build houses and towns around these locations. In places where the Chinese have already done this in Asia and Africa, they have treated the locals in the country very badly. They take over areas of the poor foreign country, and leave the locals poor and powerless. Thus, the Belt and Road Initiative has right been deemed "Neo Colonialism," or a plot by China, to take over the world and enslave it through their control and manipulation of the infrastructure, the military bases they become, and the ever-expanding towns that will surround and branch out from them.
China often claims they are "harmless" and they don't try to assimilate others to Marxism through their Belt and Road Initiative, as the West has assimilated other nations to Democratic forms of government (freedom), but this is a lie. All nations will have to assimilate to Chinese communism, their kind of international law, and the Chinese will grandually take control of their country, as they have done in Asian and Africa.
Thus, China actually does worse than "assimilate." They gain control of corrupt politicians through bribes and perks to shut down opposition to their "Belt and Road Initiative," then send their own workers to make all the money off the debt-trap loan, then take over the area with their new towns and military, then consign the population to slavery in all but name, to second class citizenship status and terrible, really really low paying jobs, etc. And China holds the trade routes over the heads of local politicians and manipulates elections so only those in bed with China win elections.
Today, China is a "manufacturing economy," which provides only low paying jobs for the most part. Eventually China wants to be rich. Eventually China wants to consign other nations to these cheap manufacturing jobs and transform it's own economy into a consumer-based, ingenuitive one, like the U.S. and European economies are today. "Ingenuitive economies" invent products and retain ownership over them, that open up wide new economic vistas. For example, the computer led to online shopping, which resulted in an online economy. The invention of the iphone opened another whole new vista up, and led to more ad revenue and apps, like Uber and delivery apps, music apps, and social media apps, etc.So ingenuitive economies invent things that create new markets and products and retain ownership over those products. Manufacturing economies simply get paid a low-wage to put some of those products together. So Chine wants to be ingenuitive and the thrid world nations it is building it's infrastructure in to be the new low-wage manufacturers, with an upper Chinese managerial class, who are subject to the communist party in Beijing.
Overall the infrastructure plan isn't bad in and of itself. What is bad is China's motivation, which is world domination and the future militarized control of all countries that participate and the essential enslavement of their people. This will result in the near total loss of political freedom everywhere for the sake of nothing but "manufacturing jobs" at most, in third-world countries, which results in a "middle-income trap," which leads workers to be unable to ever make enough to be comfortable. And living under communist China's rule, would leave them virtually powerless to ever change or escape their poor conditions. If China were to succeed, I'm sure their rule would last at least a few hundred years. I do not think China will succeed, however.
The world will always need and have low wage jobs, but it is better if they also have political freedom, to eventually fight peaceably through elections and free-market incentives for better wages and working conditions. Freedom also allows those who work manufacturing jobs to self-select, while others pre-maturely develop themselves into inventors, and business owners, etc. So manufacturing economies with freedom tend to become ingenuitive and eventually invent better ways of doing things. Perhaps one day robots and machines will do most low wage manufacturing and people will make more by only needed to work complex manufacturing jobs.
In addition, China robs its own citizens through a communist tax system, and uses their wages to expand their own power over their own people and unjustly around the world. Why give such a beastly system the ability to become more powerful? I'm sure that the more power they get, the more corrupt they'll become. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Further, liberals complain about 19th century "Britsh Colonialism," so liberals should also oppose China's 21st century plot to enslave the world through "Neo-colonialism."
