>>It's not China, it is Chinese VC money. No difference in China. Do what is good for the fatherland or your fiances, you personally and your family will suffer. >>I don't see that the Government can deal with Ambani so easily, or even antagonise him with impunity. So like many he's wayyy to powerful to deal with. But at least he is a local, not jeopardizing India's geopolitics. Just as he can control politicians, they can control him, if/when they want to. They know what he did to become so powerful and can send 500 police officers to his offices to search for evidence if/when...

I think there's a qualitative difference in somebody merely very rich and a person like Ambani who is in the top 10 wealthiest people in the world. He is not quite a 'local' that the Government can just CBI-raid into intimidation like e.g. Prannoy Roy.

  See Russia as to how to deal with people like that. It is nothing that a raid or accident can’t fix. He is also not murdering Indian soldiers on the border which is a bonus. Same men that ordered that escalation are investing PRC money. If they are not same they share the same boss.

    > Same men that ordered that escalation are investing PRC money. If they are not same they share the same boss. This is speculation, unless you have sources in which case please share them. The most detailed and seemingly authentic source [1] I have seen about the Galwan brawl (that resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an undisclosed number of Chinese soldiers) suggests the escalation was not planned but the accidental result of a chain of events starting from a freshly deployed Chinese trooper pushing the Indian party's Commanding Officer.

      Are you really interested in debating the topic, or just perpetual muddying the waters? The question is if Chinese ownership of Indian industries will be bad, and the answer is an obvious yes. As for your claim in this case, it wasn't just a freshly deployed Chinese trooper, but the whole platoon, who had built structures and arranged weapons in violation of prior agreement.

      That has planned provocation written all over it. 1. Bring new troops trained in different area(much easier to bash someone head in with a club when you were not stationed right across from him) 2. Instantly escalate by attacking enemy officer(clearly planned event) 3. Have melee weapons prepared and ready to go(clearly planned) Indian officer and men acquitted themselves well I have to say reacting against completely unforeseen attack with their own initiative and aggression. Shutting down this play and counter attacking.

        Thanks for taking out the ad hominem. As for the rest, I disagree with your interpretation. It can even be argued that the Indians responded disproportionately to one guy being shoved by attacking everyone in the opposing party. Anyway we can't claim both that the Chinese murdered our troops and also that we killed more than twice of theirs than they did ours (but apparently, when we kill them, it is honourable?)
