I'm talking about two different points in time. For the past 2-3 decades China and
India have not been particularly friendly -- China and Pakistan were. But there was
a time when China provided technology to India. I remember that they also provided
aid to India after the great Gujarat earthquake l
I had to ask my co-host for the name of the vice-governor of Heilongjiang and he
responded late this afternoon: the visit was just before Labout Day 2000 and there
were four Chinese, plus the vice-consul from Calgary. Madame Ma Shujie, Vice Governor,
Government of Heilongjiang (responsible for Scie

China doesn't like India, so it hasn't done anything for them. However,
they have helped fund N Korea and Pakistan efforts.
I read in one of my "right-wing" sources that China provided Pakistan with
complete nuclear delivery systems in violation

Although we are still technically better and more skilled, their numbers
allow them an advantage we don't have. A war with them would end up in
mass casualties on both sides. And they wouldn't fear using the bomb,
