West would never lose Taiwan.
Chip foundries in Taiwan are pivotal to west's survival at this point.

West would just not let China get control of these very precious industries.

China attacking India at LAC is not really feasible.
The US has already pressured Taiwanese government to start a US-based factory for TSMC in case shit hits the fan. This might take time but the Americans are ensuring that the chip-building does fall into the hands of the CCP. I wonder if we can request Taiwan to push for TSMC subsidiaries here since there is a 100% chance that we won't be sending forces across the border and open a new front against the PLA when they strike Taiwan. This sounds heartless but it is a reality that even the Taiwanese know. Unless there is a divine intervention and the CCP crumbles from within (it has is own long-term global economic consequences but that's another story).

Taiwan will be able to resist the PLA assaults for some time, but there would be little they can do if the US is unwilling to step forth and the Europeans refuse to sanction China, twiddling thumbs. Taiwan is too small a price for them to pay versus the billions they make in trade with Chinese companies.

Brahmos ER and pralay has greatly enhensed the capabilities of Indian army against China. Rafale has also arrived. Vajra K9 is configured for Himalayas and deployed. We have M777 positioned on Indo China border and LAC. We have build great infrastructure on LAC and now we are fully capable of deploying T90 on LAC. Akash prime is configured for Himalayan region. S 400 is deployed. MR SAM delivery has begun. India is able to bring in many new Himalaya specific eepons in possible conflict ground. LCH delivery will soon begin. FOC Tejas has started ariving. I think our preparedness has increased by a great deal since April 20. 250 km MBRL will be tested next year. Nirbhay version with Manik engine is under finsl trial. India is now much more equipped to take on China than what it was 2 years back and enjoys superiority in all areas except long range cruise missile , MBRL range. The advantage in this two areas will soon go in a year or two. If war is inevitable like General Narvane has said, India is fully prepared to teach China an unforgettable lesson. A lots of preparation is done in last 2 years and it is the time to put unreasonable conditions for border settlement with China make Indian conditions harsher. From now onwards, we shall talk to China with a position of strength. It is the time to make them realize that this salami slicing gimmicks can sometimes be very costly and counterproductive.
the biggest strength of indian army infront of PLA is Mountain warfare experience , from the icy heights of kargil to the snowy and cold glacier of siachen , our army has never failed in its mission . This is what gives us a healthy edge over them

I feel there is a high probability PLA will strike when war breaks between Ukraine and Russia so as to keep the Americans distracted from interfering.
PLA does not attack unless it finds a nation sleeping offguard . Remember this . Currently we are on the highest level of operational preparedness along our Northern borders

Taiwan obviously, while praying we don't attack them in Tibet.

i have seen pechora . Probably a lot more new ones have been deployed since the standoff started . Plus there is a Manpads AD unit under 5 div
Are you talking about the S-125 Neva/Pechora Soviet surface-to-air missile? And which standoff are you referring to here? You talking about the Galwan Valley Incident?

If someone can please find out the specifications of S-125 Neva/Pechora Soviet surface-to-air missile used by India than please list here , for example the range of These Systems, and by the way, aren't these pretty old systems? These things are From the 1960s-1970s onwards! We need to replace These with something else.
