China and India are reportedly preparing for full-scale war over a Himalayan border dispute

Quote

Chinese and Indian troops are readying themselves for a possible armed conflict in the event they fail in their efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution to their border dispute on the Doklam plateau in the Himalayas, observers said.

On Friday, India’s defence minister Arun Jaitley told parliament that the country’s armed forces are “prepared to take on any eventuality” of the stand-off, Indian Express reported the same day.
Sources close to the Chinese military, meanwhile, said that the People’s Liberation Army is increasingly aware of the possibility of war, but will aim to limit any conflict to the level of skirmishes, such as those contested by India and Pakistan in Kashmir.

I'll believe it when I see it.

A third of the world going to war? This would be scary, especially because they both have nukes and too much pride.

Instant population control. Not only there but around the world as the effects of that nuclear exchange spread.

Nah. China can't afford to lose tech support.

Oh shit. No more Chinese computers and nobody to call when they break down.
