This week on Newsbud’s China Watch: Bumrushing China Containment in India and Australia.  What’s really going on between the Indian Army and the PLA in Bhutan?  Spoiler: it’s not a threat south to the Siliguri Corridor.  It’s competition between China and India east west along the Himalayan tier.  We’ll also take a look at Australia’s 50 billion dollar submarine screw-up, and find out who’s blocking Australia’s promotion to a full-fledged member of the China containment quadrilateral…and why.  And Is Liu Xiaobo’s death a case of medical murder?
