Good call. It's not because I'm of Asian descent. I don't want Pax Americana to end, and I don't want a new Pax Sinica, but the worst thing I can see for this kind of scenario is to treat the other side as idiots. I see this a lot on social media platforms, where Americans think their technological superiority at war is unsurpassed. The fastest way to lose your edge/advantage is to assume you're the best and the other side are bumbling fools. These little guys will get seriously chopped up if they are ever ordered to fight on the ground in Tibet / Ladakh ! Having personally observed Chinese conscripts living and operating in these areas over an extended period of time I can tell you they are seriously outclassed by the Indian troops stationed there. Really? I would be willing to bet the CCP has quietly thrown a bunch of money at ex-US military/foreign troops to update their military doctrine and provide training to upskill their troops. I wouldn't underestimate the development of the Chinese military. The US government obviously quietly (at least previously quietly) treats China as a rising threat. I don't see why we should not consider them as a threat.

Even the Chinese admit the Indians are better, more experienced fighters at high altitude! www.wionews.com/india-news/indian-army-has-worlds-most-experienced-mountain-troops-says-chinese-military-expert-304844These are Special Frontier Force many with Gurkha / Sherpa / Tibetan Heritage. Versus these which are predominantly poorly educated rural dwellers or young unacclimatized city / urban conscripts:- Interestingly these troops are carrying type QBZ-03 assault rifles which are a fully updated version of the the type 81. The type 81 commenced full production around 1983 and in 1985 I was one of the very first Westerners to actually observe and identify the type 81 in the hands of Chinese frontier troops!

I don't see why we should not consider them as a threat. Erik Prince (formerly head of the Blackwater private security firm) is head of a Hong Kong based company working with government in Xinjiang Province to provide "security" training. Not sure how that sits with the sanctions the US has put in place against various Xinjiang related companies and officials, but maybe his sister being a Trump insider (Secretary of Education) provides protection against the sort of investigations the FBI has been doing against people found to have links to the Chinese regime? I bet the US military aren't particularly happy that ex-US servicemen are providing that kind of training for their erstwhile enemies.

The modern Special Frontier Force
are the descendants of the Khampa Guerillas ambushing the PLA in the video below:-
This video has been taken down many times and it is often quite difficult to find!

Pity those in the second video aren't still active. Tibetan mountain people are seriously tough! That Khampa was 52 years old and walked all the way back alone with a bullet hole through the chest!

If hollywood wasn't so busy licking Beijing's bum, it would make a great movie. The whole story regarding the CIA training and equipping of the Tibetan Guerillas (Chushi Gangdruk) is very interesting. It really is worth seeking out! Here is a good place to start:- Also see this video of Chinese shooting unarmed Tibetan refugees attempting to escape into Nepal and mostly then onto India in 2006:- ne-np.facebook.com/festivaloftibet/videos/2338410303118895/

Folks,
Time to watch out! So I've been smashing on about the Chinese for years in a very negative way! Lately I've had really "weird" shit happening on my computers but if I'm going to play with fire then I guess that's how it rolls! Anyway a few weeks pass and then "weird" shit started happening to my mobile phone, then a few days back got a text message from nobody I know saying "NO WAY CHINA" it had a number attached, being a dickhead I tried calling it back a few times with no answer!! Shortly afterwards phone went troppo like my computers!! I dumped the number and then realised I should've written it down before deleting! Just a warning if you want to play with the China Gang it could cost you!

All the more reason to separate from the CCP. Strengthen relationships with the Republic of China instead.

Primarily due to racism. If it was a western nation doing it to a muslim minority, there'd be blanket sanctions, isolation and threats of 'regime change'.
