LOL... I would say that is the best reason why US would not support China. You win over them and destroy them and you don't have to pay your debt. EasY!! Don't believe the US would respect the Traditions of the trade in this case!
Not sure if you've read this history, source: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/25/world/asia/25iht-india.html Edit: Just to clarify - I'm not supporting war in any way. I'm just saying between India and China, we would probably support India again.
That was History, yesterdays administrations and that would never happen even if the president and his advisers would recommend it, first it would have to go to Congress and the approval of the US Citizen, and the primary reason as to why the US would not strike a nuclear arsenal is because of the Soviet's concern which could have triggered a World War 3. U.S using a nuclear when it feels like it would be a threat to the Soviet, since the Soviet is an allied of China and it is one of it's strongest ally and supporter it would not be allowed at that time and the Japanese would have objected in the UN counsel (because it was first use/last on them) and many other nations. So if the second attack to India would have happen at that time, India would be eating with chopstick by now. Diplomacy prevented China from doing so. Today China is too powerful to be challenge, not to say it can't be defeated, but the mass casualty would prevent the US from ever engaging war with China and no way US would ever put it's citizen in great harm unless it really needs to and China would rather not challenge the US since the US help China from the Japanese occupation by entering the war and defeating the Japanese and made the communists much stronger after that. I really don't think China would attack India, this would lead to protest from around the world that China relies on for selling it's goods and this includes the US. I really don't hear much conflict if none at all between the two nations, you guys know something we don't?
China & India are not super power my friend( Will be one day). I think you getting mix up with power & super power. 1000% agreed. Why not let both countries destroy themselves. That would be the first thing on US politicians mind..
If US go all in without worries about the innocents people. A war with China can be done with less casualties from US side. US would bomb China back to stone age( I wouldn't want that to happen). The war would likely cost US maybe few F-22 Raptor and pilots. One thing thou, China can not bring a war to US. You would ask why, one answer, they don't have the manpower to do so. Not many aircraft carriers and the one they have somehow not fully functional.
My friend you been playing too much XBOX.

You can help China grow and grow, just keep shopping at Walmart and Costco and buy Made in China. The real weapon to fear is the Kungfu Fan. (I hate this one)
You meant helping US big cooperations grow. Also my friend Made in China doesn't mean The product is made for China profits or by China companies. Most of them stuff are greedy companies from western countries running away for high taxes and chasing cheap labor. Chinese workers works 16 hours a day for about $1, while a US factory worker would get at least $100 for the day.
They are called Capitalist (you can add greed into it, but that is what a capitalist are). If they cannot make money, there would be no deal with China, so yes (the obvious) that there are people that do make money besides China. Wages: http://www.johnchow.com/how-much-do-workers-make-in-china/
I was doing some research, and came across an interesting article. For anyone that would like to read it, it's a 4 page article on the Atlantic, that covers different scenarios if the US ever went to war with China. Not sure why I got on this morbid topic tonight...
Hey, don't be so crazy. Russia is a long lasting friend of India and I don't find any reason, he will come against India. In my opinion, Russia would be neutral in that case.
How do you define super power? India has 2nd largest army of the world, 4th largest air force, navy with nuclear submarines and advanced missiles system to counter any threat. Don't you still find India as Super Power.
Russia has no long standing friends, never has and never will. The only friends to Russia is Russia...don't be so naive. India use to Lease submarines from Russia back in the late 90's till 2001. I'm sure it has a few now on it's own. That's another thing about India, it keeps buying weapons from Russia, US took notes, and wont forget for quite a while. Oh, here's a link to an audio on how to speak Chinese, you'll need it some day.(lol)
once a great person said (don't know who was that), it is better to keep your mouth shut, if you do not have facts to support your words. For your info, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_India#Russia_and_Central_Asia
What's the link for? Does it say Russia and India signed an agreement to be buddies for life? I will say this again --Russia has no long standing friends except for Russia. Your so gullible.
Did any other country sign the such kind of agreement of being buddies for life. I do not find any country who has such agreement with other country. And if I go with your words, US is also a long standing friend of himself, so might be some time, US will attack on UK as well?
Am talking about India and China War.....Hope lots of answers are posted....Good support for India.... INDIA ROCKS........
Yeah Scaders, your kind of mentality is dangerous to India. When it comes to war, India will have to fight it on its own. Rest will betray. So called support is nothing. Even some religious groups/idiots will betray India. Betrayal within the spoil should be punished severely, charged as treason against the Republic. They know who they are
Isn't the US an ally of India? Methinks that the war would be far larger than people are assuming. Both parties are nuclear powers, it could get very ugly.
