#3 Not buying it at all. The two countries have too many parallel interests, not enough conflicting ones. No "Lebensraum" justification for the Chinese, and 'pacifist India' strikes me as a cruel joke: Partition wasn't that long ago... |

#2 An excellent analysis, especially the bit about 'Pacifist India'. I read a novel a while back where the upshot was the Chicoms were prepared to use nuclear weapons and gamble the loss of their cities in a nuclear response whereas the democratic Indian government wasn't. Consequently India lost the war with China. |

#1 Not likely, in my opinion. When was the last time you saw Chinese Hindus stirring up trouble? I think it more likely that by 2012 China and India will be allies against muslim extremism and will both be against Pakistan. |
