China doesn't view India as the enemy, to India this is offensive.
The prospect that "you're not even worthy enough to be my opponent" can be...insulting.
The Indians instead of reinforcing their frontline with material put some photoshopped Indian flags into Zhiruhe exercise photos from China.
Which is yet another reason why Chinese has such difficulty to take India seriously.
Like "What? Is
that the best they can do?"
Because China took in over four dozen prisoners in just this night.
Again, a losing side won't take that many POWs, "been taken" is the norm, thus India's flying against common sense and simple logic is perplexing at best, laughable at worse.
I am sure they would be welcomed as migrant workers at Chinese farms during harvest season
Such scenario would give the Chinese authorities headaches as now he/she has to figure out where to shelter those lot for 2 weeks (quarantine, duh), getting vaccinations for them lot, and it'll be days before the Central Government come take this nonsense off his/her small plate of a local official in what supposedly a god-forsaken border region...
Luckily for him/her though, the PLA / PAP border patrol would block the horde off at those very few viable crossing points to begin with. The harsh climate would be lethal to those farmers not acclimatized for highlands, and the humanitarian crisis would be of India's own anyway.
