The immortal fear of China and what for?
Since 1962, India, suffers the mortal fear of Chinese invasion. Deng Xiaping cooled this fear temporarily, but the current crop of Chinese leaders has revived this fear. They want to take back all the Indian lands they were unable to take in 1962. They'd already taken most of what they wanted in Ladakh in 1962. Only a little remained there, but their real intention was to divert India's intention to Ladakh and seize Tawang and Arunachal Pradesh. I dare say that Mao Tse Tung is reborn in Xi Jinping except Xi met an Indian iron fist.
What was their purpose at Ladakh? ….. They wished to reach the 1959 farthest claim line in Ladakh. Unfortunately, they did not, rather retreated at two places under military pressure from India. Two other small areas will be cleared as quickly as possible. What the Chinese leaders sitting in Beijing did not realize is that the extreme heights and cold of winter (17,000 to 22,000 feet) make it difficult for them to move. Furthermore, the troops sent to capture those places found their military equipment frozen and unable to function. As a result, they stopped dead and began to talk their way out.
Their primary objective was not Ladakh in the West. This was a test case for a fight. Their main object is Tawang in the east. That's where the current Dalai Lama was born and the next Dalai Lama is likely to come from there. They wanted to mitigate the situation early before it became a problem. In their over-confidence, they envisioned a military victory as smooth as in 1962 except this time India showed them an iron will and steel wrist.
Tawang is on this side of the Himalayan mountain line separating Tibet from India in the east. This mountain line runs from about 14,000 feet to 16,000 feet, running along the Arunachal Pradesh. It is difficult to climb and reaching Tawang is 180 miles of difficult mountains and valleys to climb to Sela Pass at 20,000 feet in between. It is here the Chinese overwhelmed the hastily assembled Indian troops in 1962. India lost an Army Brigade at Sela Pass. Roughly 2,000 of its brave sons were either captured or killed by the Chinese including its Commander. That was then, not now. India is well prepared.
After its massive defeat, India's army regained its confidence and rebuilt itself with massive military hardware purchases. It regained itself further with victories in 1965, 1971 and 1999 against Pakistan, but that immortal fear of Chinese still remained. China's paid propaganda in the Indian media is partly to blame. It never stops comparing Chinese military with Indian military in whole numbers not realizing that 80% of their military is stationed in the East next to Taiwan and competing with US fleet in North and South China Sea. A smaller part of their military prowess is stationed in southern Tibetan areas. Their military budget is accordingly is small for Tibet area. The media often in self-destruct mode still envision the invasion, although Chinese capabilities are far less. Of late, they have been suggesting that Chinese copied and duplicated Navy ships coming to the Indian Ocean and wrecking havoc on India. It is difficult for them to realize; first, their ships are copied and duplicated hence of lower quality, second, it is a brand new navy without experience of battle as compared highly trained and modernized Indian Navy. Sill the Chinese psych-warfare goes on and on.
Somehow we must overcome this psychological fear factor. The Chinese have mastered propaganda. Their war strategist, Sun Tzu, taught them how to fight and win through propaganda prior to the start of the battle. This time, on the other hand, they must be defeated in the same manner that Vietnam defeated them in 1979. Only then will this propaganda and all trespassing at the borders cease.
