2. An India which is at peace with China is more useful for them than an antagonist one. I may be wrong and China may restore status quo ante - provided they get major forms of concessions from GoI. That could happen, but that is remote. They want to secure/insure against Indian actions in general area GB and what they perceive, and in no less enabled by our fanboys and OSINTs, is an 'Indian interference in Baluchi struggle'.
Now with this statement, if you visualize the current situation at LAC.
Who from IA said, if political mandate is to retake GB, so be it?
Which political personality said, a war with Pakistan will be max 7 days affair?
And who said he has received a lot of greetings from Baluchi brothers and sisters?
Who leaked that a top Baluchi nationalist wanted asylum in India?
And mind you none of this statements were made to bolster up falling political approval.
So, with respect to above questions, what kind of reaction were we expecting and what kind of actions were we prepared for?
So, if you see, we aren't the innocent kid who got trapped.
And about the statement that we are ready for 2.5 front war?
So, who is testing whose appetite?
And lastly,
India-Mongolia-Dalai Lama-China, if you remember? (2015)
Was Mongolia not expecting any retribution from China when she invited Dalai Lama?
Knowing very well how sensitive China is with Dalai Lama?
