Is Xin trying to argue that India didn't develop nuclear weapons because of a possible Chinese threat? It would have been pretty idiotic of them to not take the PRC (in addition to other nations in the region) into consideration before deciding to ramp up their bomb project.
EDIT: Building a nuclear bomb isn't simple, there are many prerequisite technologies and developments that have to be completed. For a relatively backwards country like India, building all that up took a long time. They could have stopped along the way (after getting a reactor running, for instance) if the situation called for it. |

The sources I cited included American interference (tried to lock in Atomic research that made India think America was going to corner nuclear tech and thus keep India backwards. And America has stated they suspected an Indian weapon program since the 1950s. Nearly 12 years before the war with China. Also, at the same time, U.S was heavily aiding Pakistan since Pakistan claimed to be anti-Communism. (Kind of like Pakistan now claim to be anti-terrorism.) Heck, one of the sources cited claimed India delve into nuclear weapon research as a matter of national pride. I.E the brown people can build a nuke too! Quote:

Personally I do not care about the details of some disputes over a tiny bit of worthless mountainous land, but not every criticism of the PRC indicates a rabid hatred of China. Quote:

Backup.
You asked me about how did China/India got the mutual disputed border. I said it is because part of it at least was due to India invaded Burma and took Burmese land, causing a mutual border with China. Then you asked what conflicts China started with Burma. Answer: Non within the last 200 years, except ROC troops who decided to use Burma as a base. So when you couldn't find another argument for suspected CCP villainy, you come back to a different topic. |

You were talking of the British colony. I was talking of the invasion of Tibet. If PRC hadn't been going around "liberating" the former empire, there would not even be a Sino-Chinese border. Thus, the entire issue started because one side was so nice to actually go about conquering. But as GenjiChan is saying, we seem to have strayed quite a bit from the original topic. |

I wouldn't lose sleep over it. North Korea know China isn't going to back them up unless America mis-aim their nukes and accidentally bomb a chinese city or something.
The type of fiery propaganda is probably meant for internal consumption only and re-enforce Kim's power. China had them in the 70-80s, then they tune them down once a lot of Chinese visited overseas and became internationalized, this level of messaging are usually reserved for more mundane stuff now days, like anti-female abortion, War on excessive water usage, and destruction of Japan or something. But North Korea is still stuck in a time loop, look at how many times they raised a ruckus in the last decade alone. But that is not saying this is how toothless, as SK/US better be on guard like a attack on Choan, random artillery barrage, or ax murder incidents. |

The are also getting a desperate as well. The old guard in China might still harbor some feelings for their old comrade. But each newer generation of leadership in China and society in general are questioning the country's stance on helping North Korea.
And North Korea knows this, eventually that aid form China is going to be gone.
