you are thinking of blocking CPEC as and when .......Hitting CPEC and blocking KKH is a job that can be done in a few minutes by IAF without any international repercussions. Blocking China in IO is near impossible because it will block all the sea trade.
CPEC gives zero military advantage to China. Not to mention India has disputed it officially. Any transgression on India's border by China will result in all the investment gone into the drain. More China invests in CEPC more it makes them nervous about India. By abrogating 370 India has not given a message to Pakistan but shown its intent to China how seriously we take this so-called dispute.
It is not India who is desperate to give access to China, but it is China's script to keep India confused about making an alliance with USA.
The Idea of remaining isolated and blocking this and that shows old and insecure mentality. India won't be able to sustain its growth if remained isolated. The trade deficit in favour of China is not going to stay the same forever. The lowest denominator of any connectivity lead by China is going to serve India vis a vis trade relationship with SE Asian countries. The look east policy is all about connectivity. If China is becoming part of this endevour then let it be.
The security challenges can not become impediments to stop this connectivity. It is better to be rich and handle these challenges than be poor and still endure the same.
You should think of blocking it permanently...Once for ever...
No air assests , no neval asset, no artillary no gun, no bomb can deny ground permanently.
It is only the boots on ground which does that.....That is why Infantry is the queen of the battle....
You have to be on top or around the enemy to screw him......
