The compulsory military service should also be applicable in India. There are millions of youths who take independence very lightly. Send them on the borders for 4-5 years then only they will realize the price and importance of national security.

Way to go. Not will only it make your military more effective but great educational value. I wish my USA understood that.

Is it known that China's large coastal cities are in range of some missiles from Taiwan? Imagine the large troop carriers headed to Taiwan hear missiles over their heads towards China knowing their destroying their homes?

China should have to negotiate with Taiwan as same. People.with common values and avoid US and Western hypocrisy. No need war between Chineae cells but to end all misunderstanding with bilateral negotiation.
