| #7 I would assume that means Malaysia, Vietnam, and maybe the functioning parts of Indonesia as well. South Korea strikes me as aging too fast to successfully indulge in large-scale unrest, and Taiwan will be too busy sweating their inevitable Obama-assisted digestion by the newly, rabidly nationalistic mainlanders to freak out in the streets. |

| #6 If China's growth slows down from 12-15% to even 5-6% they are going to have a real donnybrook on their hands. |

| #3 WORLD MIL FORUM > INDIAN THINK TANK: FUTURE SINO-INDIAN ARMS RACE, CONFRONTATION AND CONFLICT CANNOT BE RULED OUT. India has begun deploying "AGNI" IRBMS vee CHINA in underground tunnel fortifications, wid more planned. PAKISTAN despite its nuke arsenal is NOT considered a REAL/TRUE THREAT TO INDIA as its economy is only 1/4 that of India's, as measured per India's pan-econ assets listed on its BOMBAY Stock Exchange. India's anti-China "AGNI" undergound missle deployment may induce China to dev a SECOND STRIKE MISSLE CAPABILITY TO PREVAIL AGZ INDIA'S MISSLES, WHICH IN TURN WILL INDUCE INDIA TO COUNTER. |
