Here are some key points I picked up
1. Though there are early battle indicators, the real indicator will be when ammunition gets dumped
2. Their mechanisation is not a good strategy for mountain warfare.
3. Tibet and Xinjiang are huge land areas (millions of sq. kms) and will offer ample opportunities for land grab
4. Pakistan has the best army that never fights, the Chinese might give them competition
5. Chushul is the most important gateway (as pointed out by Rohit Vats recently) and India is fortifying that
6. This is the first high altitude winter that Chinese army is in and they will have lots of environmental casualties. Never a good idea to fight a high altitude war without high altitude experience
7. Indian occupation of Kailash range has opened up lots of options
8. Indian mothers will send their sons to war as a matter of honor. One child family Chinese mothers ??
9. This is a defining battle for India. Politicians and babus need to hold their nerve, our soldiers ofcourse will. Let China shed blood to earn the "superpower" status
