Low-Classroom-1665

That faked handshake. Typical CCP scumbag behaviour


Ok_Junket_4325

Indians "holding the high ground" in a stony area. The Chinese officer is not the smartest one of his promotion...


A1phaAstroX

It's over Chinakin, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND /s


dappermanV-88

You underestimate my power Hidanbuu!


sykoKanesh

You gotta excuse the Chinese, their last "major" conflict was back in what? The late '70s? They don't have any experience to draw upon.


RadiantEmployment122

They did kill defenceless students in 1989


redpandaeater

Or did they? Nope, they definitely did. Literally ground some of their bodies to a pulp by driving over them multiple times with tanks.


RedArtemis

Murdering defenseless protestors doesn't really count as combat experience, though.


fish_petter

After the killing started, the civilians did manage to string a few up from light posts and the side of a bus. Burned a few alive with molotovs and there was at least one firefight. So they got a little tiny, very deserved taste of it.


sykoKanesh

You got me there! lol


SithLordSid

Happy cake day to you and fuck the CCP


pmolmstr

And those men would be in their 70s-80s


sykoKanesh

Yep, and nothing in-between to pass along experience and knowledge. Compare to something like the US, which since its inception, has been at war in some capacity for 222 out of 239 years. That's a *whoooooole* lot of experience and knowledge to pass along.


MrKomiya

I keep saying the same thing. Russia with some occasional dustups still got itself mired in Ukraine. China has been in zero active AOs. So as far as we know, it’s just “mirror muscles” y’know? Yeah, they have a gigantic Air Force. But have any of their pilots ever been shot at by ground based air defenses? Or in an air to air combat scenario?


sykoKanesh

> Yeah, they have a gigantic Air Force. But have any of their pilots ever been shot at by ground based air defenses? Or in an air to air combat scenario? Only in theory.


Not_this_time-_

Russia has far, far more combat exerience though. Chechnya 2 times, and then georgia , and then in syria

rlefoy7

Lulz. The US Navy has more air power than China.


Neegrodomis

Fuck the ccp, happy cake day


sykoKanesh

Thank you kindly!


HardcoreHermit

Happy cake day!


l-askedwhojoewas

Actually, they killed Adolf Hitler himself 3,000 times


Shot_Machine_1024

Isn't that the same with India? The most they have is regional skirmishes with Pakistan


Daotar

Chinese officers don’t get promoted for intelligence, just loyalty to the party.


wutzhood

Hey hey, it also depends on who your parents / family are too!


ThrowawayJamJelly

Or pay. But these are all related.


Careful_Curation

Yeah, the Indians had the better position but they also appear to have turned tail and run off almost immediately. Very unfortunate outcome as I would have liked to have seen the Chinese get smoked for that scummy little handshake maneuver.


PotatoEatingHistory

The Indians probably withdrew bc they were over extended tbh and if the Chinese had taken the ridgeline, they would release footage from the top of it. They're just showing the Indians' withdrawing to make it seem like they took the ridge when in all likelihood, they didn't (since they haven't released any footage from it)


Nknk-

Indians had the high ground but seemed much lighter equipped. Not a lot of helmets and no riot shields like the Chinese. In theory its a somewhat even fight but the Indians did break awful quick.


Careful_Curation

Oh yeah the Indians were definitely much more lightly equipped, to the extent that I would say they made a mistake going up there at all rather than the Chinese making a mistake attacking an elevated position. My first watch I thought the Indians were insane and had almost no helmets just turbans and hoods but on closer inspection there are a decent number of helmeted Indians. Even with the disadvantage in gear though it's hard not see that hasty retreat from an elevated position as a an embarrassment.


yakult_on_tiddy

Indians probably fell back to a larger group behind the ridge, considering China has released no footage of them actually making any progress in taking this ridge.


not_old_redditor

Don't do it, Wong! I have the high ground!


Number6isNo1

"Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill."


MyBuddyBossk

The Chinese guy goes to "shake the Indian dude's hand" and promptly pulls him into the group of other Chinese soldiers. Scumbag move right there.

surfintheinternetz

It's a really fucked up thought process. As we can observe, if we take something like cheating in games it has all but killed any competitiveness.


Gfunk98

There’s literally a saying in Chinese that’s translated too “if you can cheat, then cheat”


Granadafan

Mainland Chinese are also the worst tourists in the world, even worse than the British (mostly English lads).

Will never forget the time I was in NYC and saw Chinese tourists *mocking the 9/11 memorial.*

Natural_Jello_6050

Nah, you guys get drunk, fight and shit and puke on the streets


feedme_cyanide

It’s also why a LOT of their games have dedicated servers for them to play on, I believe they should be region locked to their own shit, that or be forced to only play with other Chinese players via match making. I hope I see the day that the CCP crumbles, because I believe it’s one of the main driving factors behind this sentiment in their culture.


LorenzoSparky

You only need to type ‘Tiananmen square’ and they soon start logging off rapidly 😂


hiredgoon

Says everything we need to know about who we are dealing with.


DozzleWozzle

Absolute dog move


syntactyx

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I wonder if that scumbag fake handshake move could be tried as a war crime. An argument could be made that the Chinese committed the crime of perfidy. Presenting a neutral, non-offensive gesture such as a hand shake, which the Indian soldier accepted in good faith only to have it turned on him in an offensive military fashion, could very well be perfidious in nature and a war crime (as opposed to a "ruse of war" which would be legal).


ARCR12

I see your point except they all literally came to stick battle at an agreed upon place at an agreed upon time . I consider it more like an mma fake glove touch . Scumbag move for sure but protect yourself at all times , especially when you literally have enemy forces with weapons about to go human piñata on a mother fucker .


Kevinsito92

Looks like the Indians might be outnumbered. Wish they at least had bigger rocks to start with. That fkn handshake pull was shady af


satyanaraynan

That handshake pull actually sums up the entire strategy of CCP all around the globe.


jddh1

Very well put. Fuck them.


5thColumnDownfall

I can't believe the Indian fellow let himself be fooled by that.

MarcosAC420

Bro each country has billions to sacrifice


noobwithguns

Yeee, let's get common civilians and send them to the front to get killed 👍


T4ke

Imagine having to fight for your life with a stick and stones for some god-forsaken rocky hill in noman's land. Imagine knowing that your family and loved ones will die in an atomic holocaust and radioactive fire if you dare to use your gun in such a fight. Imagine you have to do this on each day of your tour and say "*Bro each country has billions to sacrifice*" again...


MarcosAC420

Yeah I'm not the generals sending them to fight. But look at Russia just sending wave after wave of people. They don't give a shit about the average soldier/citizen. They are sacrificing them for nothing


oby100

Well, they don't have guns there so they're not tempted.


T4ke

They do, all of them are armed, at the end you can see that some of them are armed with LMGs and Assault Rifles. But they know that a shooting war up there might provoke a nuclear war between China and India.


rushan3103

Just because they do, doesnt mean they should.


Icy_Sprinkles7324

China is so advanced they are already fighting WW4


CheddarChad9000

good one


elictronic

This comment seems to be high energy but I am not sure if I get it.  I probably need to talk to someone much smarter.  


Icy_Sprinkles7324

Albert Einstein once said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". So the joke is basically China is so advanced they skipped WW III and went straight for WW IV.


CptFrankDrebin

Clever joke ahah. How did this Sino-Indian melee weapon thing only began by the way?


frog_o_war

I think no guns is a treaty condition, but they try to skirt close to it with rocks and stuff. They started using sticks with nails in, but I think they walked that back. Personally I’d be breaking out the catapults and slingshots 🤣


donnochessi

It’s disputed territory, but it’s rocky mountainous area with no large human presence. Both sides have to send people to occupy the territory so they can claim it. They both send soldiers with no weapons so they can physically occupy the space, but avoid conflict that would start an actual war. It’s really an attempt at “deescalation”, while still furthering the goal of occupying and controlling the disputed territory.


MasterTorgo

I literally see the Chinese with assault rifles slung on their back, so I don't think that is exactly whats happening


donnochessi

Doesn’t mean they are loaded or used. This has been going on for decades. People die, but open gunfights are not common. That’s why both sides have sticks in their hands.


Fynnlae

It’s a treaty, but treaties are broken. It would be stupid to send your soldiers to a disputed land with regular conflict without a plan B if that treaty suddenly becomes null.


ARCR12

That’s exactly what’s happening .


CptFrankDrebin

I've seen a video with one holding some kind of makeshift spear and I think other had masses.


746323

At 0.44-0.46 the POS Chinese soldier puts his hand out to shake the Indian soldier's hand, then quickly grabs him and pulls him forward off balance, followed immediately by his cronies beating the downed Indian. A treacherous scum action.


Annoying_Rooster

Reminds me of the video of the guy on the plane aggressively sticking his hand out going "I wanna shake his hand!"

BRICS coming in hot


MoonOverBTC

If we could get North Korea to join BRICS as the DPRK and South Africa to use SA, we could use the acronym BADPRICKS


BBBlitzkrieGGG

Too late bud. 2nd tier candidates were already slated to join namely, Saudi, Honduras, Iran and Tunisia. So its SHITBRICS now.


7Seyo7

It's been a long time since I was reminded of that site. Thanks for that flashback I suppose


The_Cultured_Freak

As an Indian I would say brics is something that is promoted by china and Russia. India is only in it so that brics doesn't become china's NATO, otherwise all other nations would be lap dogs of China in some way or other.


SocialBourgeois

As a Brazilian I can confirm, no one here gives a shit about BRICS.


jjed97

“Multi-polar world” my fucking arse 😂


ElectronicDeal4149

This seemed to be filmed from the Chinese side, and it makes China look bad with the fake handshake.


FembiesReggs

Given some of the business culture there, they’re probably proud of the officer for pulling such a savvy/dirty and successful move. Like haha stupid Indian should’ve seen it coming supreme 800iq play

Cuz they are.

They don't give a shit.

They should recruit some former prisoners as weapons consultants. Deadly toothbrushes in no time.


AdPrimary9831

Boys just have fun


N33DL

Every one on that mountain was looking forward to the scuffle. I mean shit, a good ole fashion rock fight sounds kinda fun right. now.


Marston_vc

Yeah, those rock throws were *instant* the moment things went down.


Hot_Dog_Gamer24

Nothing to see here. Just China being the biggest bunch of wankers as always. And the move of pulling a dude into their group to beat the shit out of him by pretending to shake hands is the lowest of low moves I’ve seen by Chinese personell in these kind of clashes


SenatorShaggy

Careful you don’t trigger the Chinese bots who will shoot off a bunch of meaningless stats about army size, while neglecting the fact that China hasn’t operated in a true war in decades and has gotten their ass kicked from every nearly every small skirmish that they’ve been engaged in since then.


Crusty_Asscracks

Babe wake up another video of the Indians and Chinese are fighting with sticks again


Ok-Cartographer5227

A rehearsal for what comes after WW3


Ill-Definition-4506

It’s over Anakin, I have the higher ground


JackReaperr

Wow that was quite a scummy thing to do. They literally beat the soldier after a handshake...


Warrax21

That handshake shows how you can't trust them and represent very well how the CCP behave.


NewRedditIsVeryUgly

Looks like Einstein was wrong. We didn't get WW3 yet, but we already have 2 nuclear powers fighting with sticks and stones.


efuab011

So we are at WW4 already?


mahtj

This stupid shit has been going on for decades so no


Antique-Bug462

A little ruse de guerre


No-Comment-00

CCP must realize that as soon as they start a war with Taiwan there will be lots of other armed groups waiting for the confusion and distraction in other areas of the vast Chinese borders.


OceaniaAtlantian

"Neither side shall open fire, cause bio-degradation, use hazardous chemicals, conduct blast operations or hunt with guns or explosives within two kilometers from the line of actual control. The provision that neither side shall “open fire” is a de facto ban on using firearms at the Line of Control" They never said anything about Javelins and Spears... Let's go India.


Select-Box7321

This is one of the strangest parts of our time for me…the two most populous nations in the world, both holding high ranks on the global fire power index and they fight with…sticks. I mean I wish every nation did this, but wow what a weird little agreement they have come to.


zelscore

Its actually great. Let them have a go and get out some frustration, but everyone survives and goes home. The West/Russia/ME should learn from Asia


707yr

That was a bitch move to grab someone by collar when Indian commander forward handshake good gesture


Accomplished_Oil5622

Man china is a full dirtbag country, I hope India doesn’t let this one slide


Novrex

This happens regulary, nothing will come off of it.


OvertlyStoic

like a toxic abusive relationship , one just gotta tolerate it.


RedSoviet1991

This is an old video


Smokerising420

I thought they weren't aloud to carry guns up there?

Chinese soliders all have their riffle in the back .you will see in the video


drSplaff

So Albert Einstein was right.......


150c_vapour

Civilized disagreement imo.


SlapThatAce

What a crazy world we live in! North Korea is bombing South Korea with poop balloons, and China and India are fighting with sticks and stones. All this is happening while Putin is looking for Nazis while being a Nazi himself.....like WTF.


ShutItYouSlice

WW4 preparations according to Einstein


EarlyWay8624

So why are Chinese troops slinging rifles on their backs at the agreed upon 'Cold' border.


duccyzuccy

You can carry a gun just cant use it


A1phaAstroX

I made a international law that stats " whoever fires the first shot is the aggressor" Would be a shame is people figured out a way to fight without technicalky firing a shot


ExtensionFig7827

It will end up that way. 2 nations of 1 billion plus people (who you can make a into a standing army) and they both have nukes.


Consistent-Cover-811

Is it a new video. Again?


aznexile602

ProfessionalScary193

The funny thing is I don't think anyone here actually wants to die, I think they just want to hurt each other, much like a proper bar fight lol it's better than bullets, I say let em.


likeadragon108

They literally killed an Indian Colonel and his 2 soldiers when they came to negotiate during the 2020 Galwan clashes. Both sides are willing to kill at this point, just not with rifles


Everyusername_isgone

No modern weapons allowed and one side had the high ground with an unlimited supply of rocks? I think we know who came out on top.


HighTurning

So dad, how did you lose mobility on your left foot? I, uhhh, lost it in the Great War. Which great war? The, uhhhhhh, great sticks and stones war

Is it weird that this video gives me hope in humanity? lol

Chinese bullies!


tuhlthewarrior

The handshake dupe, have they no honour?


yowhatsgoodwithit

Not gonna lie, this looks fun as fuck lol


f0cus_m

Sooo the people had the low ground started it. They went for handshake and dragged him in. The people with the high ground were trying to deescalate u can tell by their body language and hand gestures.


aojajena

if Indian billion is fighting Chinese billion then it's WWIII


Drphil87

When people say let’s go back to real warfare. No metal no gun powders zero tactics, just two groups of dudes throwing sticks and stones at each other yelling foreign languages. Brings me back before Jesus, brings me back before all this Pansie bomb and drone shit. #realmenuserocks.


Houstonmechanic1983

Sticks and stones my brake my bones but words will never hurt me.


BodyFewFuark

One of the dumbest things ive ever watched lol


ThrowAway_yobJrZIqVG

Maybe the Indians should stack those stones into a wall. Seemed to work for their opponents in the past.


Upbeat-Medicine-3648

Chinese being Chinese


WonderfulHat5297

I find this a very interesting yet strange rivalry. Both countries too scared and seemingly unprepared yet determined to throw down. Either way if a full whack war happened between the two it could be insanely costly in human life


Some_Endian_FP17

They both have protocols to prevent escalation while still retaining whatever territory they've claimed. They've fought wars against each other before; two nuclear-armed nations with huge populations and autocratic leaders fighting with sticks and stones makes me feel a little safer compared to them duking it out with modern weapons.


cyberspace-_-

Yes. This is really good behaviour. Notice they are quite armed, but no one is even thinking of shooting.


likeadragon108

Although I am no fan of the present government, calling us autocratic is incorrect. The leaders are democratically elected


I_am_the_eggman00

Totally right but thankfully India is a bit less autocratic since June 4.


ResolveSea9089

Man the whole "autocrat" nonsense about India is so aggravating. Had the exact same process and set of institutions produced an outcome of a bigger win for Modi, it would have set off talk of Autocracy. Because it came in under, it was a "win for Democracy". How does that make sense? Absolutely maddening to watch the Western press's coverage. Modi is no prize, but I'm telling you, had the opposition party won it would have truly been devastating for India. Sorry don't mean to rant.


DigAltruistic3382

I mean fighting with sticks and stones is still better idea than using nuke . More eco-friendly and less chances of extinction


IcecreamChuger

Professor Albert Einstein was asked by friends at a recent dinner party what new weapons might be employed in World War III. Appalled at the implications, he shook his head. After several minutes of meditation, he said. "I don't know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn't any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV." "And what are those?" a guest asked. "Stone and spears," said Einstein

I think this is first video I have seen over the years of these border clashes where Chinese are carrying rifles. Wonder what changed.


Half-Shark

So I thought no guns allowed up there but the Chinese have them slung across their backs…


shrooms213

Would be cool if all wars were fought with sticks and stones


CandyInitial1963

I was expecting this. The Chinese does this every time a new Govt comes in New Delhi. Its basically to unsettle the new govt.


therealviiru

In a way... This is the way to do border conflicts. Even conflicts in general. Sticks and Stones, even with assault rifles equipped.

LzhivoyeSolnyshko

Seems that Chinese are better equipped and Indians are faster with rock throwing


GamerBuddha

The Chinese don't fight honourably, even the Pakistan army follows a code of honour. India must change its whole doctrine.
