I remember a video in BharatShakti youtube channel where Nitin Gokhale had explained that the 3 services had wargamed this scenario, and according to the result the next point of contention is going to be the Eastern borders and a few years from that they also expect the entire Western Theatre Command(WTC) of the PLA to move in a much bigger way, so in some sense these 2 acts could be seen as probing exercises to check the response, maybe after the reply that we gave them this time around their end game is probably being discarded.
But if there's a change of regime in 2024 then it is as good as saying goodbye to important parts of North-East and if there is complete mobilization of WTC then it is really anybody's game.
