No this can't be right. As I already said, China needs to know how to stand ground against salami slicing, or better yet, do reverse slicing, instead of initial constraint then big clash. The mentality have to change.
These soldiers from both sides didn't have to die. Hong Kong didn't have to descend into this huge pot, Cai Yingwen didn't have to go unchallenged in Taiwan. It's decades old failure of Chinese security apparatus. China is being pushed all over the place. The fact that 5 eyes use blatant lies to accuse China of doing genocide shows how the West look down on China's response, and how incompetent China has been in terms of psychological war and soft power.
What happened in ladakh is a direct result of what happened in Donglang. China behaved like a pushover at that time and this is the price you have to pay later on.
This just won't work. Stop saying this is not your priority. Stop rewarding your opponent. The moment you do it, you lost the psychological war and invite more attack. If you have a backyard and a neighbor infringed on it, are you going to say I show constraint to this neighbor but not that neighbor? It doesn't make any sense.
You have to stand your ground, each and every time. If you do that, you'll be able to minimize the total cost and avoid big conflict.
That's the only way. You are the bigger power, ultimately you are responsible for controlling the situation, calling your opponent stupid is useless, it only makes youself look stupid. always show your strength, show your big dick, show your best weapon, don't do stupid things to reward your opponent. You are not in a war to win them over for unification like in romance of three kingdoms, what the heck you are doing like trying to have a love affair, it doesn't make any sense.
Now, you can say, all this is part of China's plan to hide it's strength. Fine, but it's over now, you can't hide anymore. you are directly targeted now , don't behave like a pussy.
You have to change the doctrine. Stop show how much constraint you have, it only invite more push, until one day you are fed up. This is so so stupid.
On Xinjiang, you have to have friends speak for you. You have to be on the offensive. Right now asians are experiencing hate crimes unprecedented in recent history, why the heck you don't speak up for them.
