Under border agreements, China and India can’t use guns near their frontier, so they fight with rocks, clubs, rods, and fists.

      Also in existence are the Chinese and Indian oligarchies currently oppressing over a billion people. Not to mention fighting over a meaningless dumb border.

        China seems to have found a solution to the oligarchy problem, but our politicians are too weak to follow it. Agreed about it being time to settle our differences and plan a joint invasion of England, though.

          China has more billionaires than we do and complete dictatorial control over a population that has zero civil rights.

            It’s the richest country in the world. Also, this is anecdotal, but I felt freer and safer in China than in the handful of other countries I’ve been to, and even certain parts of my own country. If there is dictatorial control, it must be very subtle.
