They usually do their land grab while still claiming to be diplomatic, open to talks, peaceful rise, etc etc.
IA and other armed forces elements should be alert, be prepared for anything.
Jaishankar can do his chai-biscoot in Russia, it won't solve squat.
GoI should also be prepared, leave nothing to chance or "Hindi Cheeni bhai bhai" bs
Jaishankar won't be able to fulfil the strategic requirements of China for they have come to pressurise India in Ladakh.
The time and place, if any indicators speak of a deeper and more profound strategic objectives of China.
Scrapping Article 370 raises the question of the status of GB, it also puts in doubt the status of Shksgam valley and above all jeopardises the CPEC, Jaishankar or Indian can not compromise on those at all. Jaishankar can not go against the historical action of scrapping Article 370 not guarantee that India will not demand GB.
Military issues, LAC, withdrawal, adjustments, BPTA agreements, etc are all secondary issue.
The Chinese aim is to achieve their goals on CPEC if not by agreement then by military means of establishing a link between Aksaichin and GB in Pakistan.
So there is no scope Jaishankar can do anything because Chinese demands are absolutely anti-national and can not be fulfilled in any manner. Anything given on those issues will mean an end of Modi regime... Not achieving anything on those issues would mean loss of face for Xi in October millennial...
The die is cast....
