Your Hindustanis Times paper came up with the (fake) allegation that China is retreating to finger 8 and now that the truth slapped you in the face,you accuse China of not indulging your fantasies?
Erm...are you a clone account ?
Thanks. I was about to post this article here.
As I said before, the best strategy for China is NOT to reach a withdraw agreement with India for now. Instead, it is to keep the pressure on India at the border. India would be put into a box: it dares not initiate military attacks against China for fear of devastating retaliation, yet it could also not afford a costly arm race with China. So far, it has made a lot of empty posturing: rushing order expensive western gears, FedEx'ing luxury western winter clothing (possibly made in China), joint military exercises, QUAD meetings, signing various agreements with the US. It's not difficult for China to raise the game and escalate with its much stronger infrastructure, MIC, and simply much larger economy. It would be like China is toying with India.
Sometimes, I found people from India's neighbors in South Asia have a much better understanding of India's psyche and quandary, as the author of the above article demonstrates, than the Westerners, Chinese or indeed Indian themselves.
India needs to come to its senses and reality, not to live in a fantasy world of its own creation. India was not, is not, and will not be for the foreseeable future a superpower of any kind except population. The US and China will not treat India as equal. If China could adopt a strategy of "hide and bid," there is no reason why India could not. Swallow your pride, be humble and pragmatic, who knows, India might indeed become a superpower in the 22nd century.
By the way, the following is an article from an Indian author at the same AsiaTmes. Clearly, India is still pinning its hope almost entirely on the US.

Any leader who proposes the hide and bid policy can’t get elected in India.
"According to the projections of various international organizations, China’s rivalry will not be with the US but with India by 2050 or beyond. For example, the World Economic Forum that the Indian economy will surpass that of the US by 2030. However, Standard Chartered Bank recently revised its that India would become the world’s second-largest economy by 2050."
India superpower 2050. Folks there has only been a 30 year delay. India will almost certainly become a hyperpower by 2050.
I used to half joke about India's superpower dream. The western and Indian analysts like to predict India's superpower prospect: India is projected to be a superpower in 25 years.
That same projection gets constantly updated. It can never be proved wrong.
All these talks about being superpower are actually distractions and big ego booster for the Indians. Naturally being a country with super large population, it will soon outpace UK, Germany and Japan. Problem is without industrialization, India can never escape its destiny of being confined as a third world nation. There have no concrete plans to mobilize the large population other than sweet dreams.
China had the 4 modernizations goals (agriculture, industry, science and defense) in Deng era that were build on the basis of the land reform, gender equality and eradicating illiteracy. India hasn't even settled with these basics yet.
