And that is 1 reason why India isn’t exposing them either. If we do and it seriously causes loss of face for the Chicoms, there is no backing down (because it’s an existential threat for people heading CCP and they will do whatever they can to regain their pride). The calculation from GOI in all of these is that there is still a chance for de-escalation (hence statements such as we don’t want war par we are ready etc.) Even today’s statement by IAF Chief was in similar lines. It’s just to keep the option of de-escalation open.
