Modus Operandi posted:That's assuming that an impoverished minority group within a large hindu/muslim population could gain enough socioeconomic traction and resources to carry on such a campaign. It's highly doubtful. You remember those pics that were circulating around '08 that were purported to be Chinese paramilitaries beating on protesting Tibetans? Yeah, those were actually Indian LEO's putting down Tibetan protests. No way Indians would tolerate that sort of activity within their borders either. Tibetans pretty much have no options. Those were Nepalese officers actually, but you're right, India would not allow a minority population to drag it into a confrontation with China.

Cream_Filling posted:Dunno, it was a different era but civilian airliners getting accidentally shot down by fighters doing routine air patrols is a real thing that has happened before. I read that the airlines are complying with the new air defense zone rules, they clearly don't want to get caught in whatever poo poo's going to happen over those islands. I wouldn't be surprised if there are regular military flights through the area, from the US, Japan, or China. Gotta keep up that saber rattling. I hope nothing more happens, even a small accident could have pretty bad consequences.

I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic, but this actually happened: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_War In fact, I remember reading that India first developed nuclear weapons as a deterrent to China. So yeah, there has been some hostility between the two nations in the past.
