One of them is from an Indian media, Observer Research Foundation (ORF). Kind of biased when calling China a bully. They are too embarrassed to mention about India had to withdrawal back to their land and no patrolling finger 3-8. Also nothing about the on going situation in Depsang, Gogra, and Hot springs.

"So why did Beijing ultimately agree to a reinstatement of the status quo? To alter Beijing’s cost-benefit matrix, India needed not military deterrence but to change the tactical military reality on the border. Its increased military presence provided options for employing limited but innovative force to buy leverage at the negotiating table. In the mountains, that meant occupying the higher ground. For example, in a late August preemptive move, the Indian Army captured the dominant features of the Kailash mountain range overseeing China’s positions in both the north and the south bank of the Pangong Tso lake. Indian forces also captured the dominant heights on the north bank of the lake. This tactical maneuver surprised the Chinese troops that remained ensconced on the lower ridges. India’s military actions had increased the costs for China to hold on to the territory it had grabbed. That gave India the tactical advantage so long as the conflict remained limited to the LAC."
Yea, coming from 2 morons that has no background in modern military applications nor operations.
That's the kind of innovation back in the 13th century before black powered artillery.
I'll you what is innovation:
1. Fly UAVs 24/7 in the region.
2. If you go over the line by so much as 100m, I will fire non lethal munitions (Colored smoke & CS Gas for daytime engagements, magnesium illuminators for night time ) about 150-200m in front of the intruders,
3. The implied message is that the next volley would be lethal DPICMs. Fire For Effect Mofos.
I don't care if you are in the high ground of in the low ground, that shit will rock your world and tare you a new asshole.

"India is now facing a hostile great power that not only eyes its territory but also detests its rise in the global order."
No body is eyeing your shit. That rocky, low oxygen territory is useless. The rest of India is full of angry illiterate mouths to feed. Who da fuck needs that headache, especially since China just barely achieved its poverty elimination goals.
Also, India is on the rise, it is sinking fast.
I think he is saying the issue lies that both sides are afraid of MAE (Mutually assured escalation) the whole point is to keep it non weapons... Just like in the nuclear age superpowers purposefully choose not to resort to nukes, and suffer conventional fighting, in this context both sides have choosen not to use real modern weapons and basically keep it stone age fights...
India and China are like two Go masters both have access to AI supercomputers to help them play Go but intentionally choose to keep it on the goban and not resort to computers.
Also, India is NOT on the rise, it is sinking fast.

Dude, orienting from a smaller adversary to what is essentially the regional super power is a retarded move. It will eat up any funding and modernization that India needs to move out of its current level of development, which is lower than sub-Saharan Africa. BTW, air and sea system are significantly more expensive than land systems.
Decoupling? From the world's largest market and economic free trade block with the ONLY growing middle class?
I have no more words for these morons. I hope they didn't get paid for this piece of shit fantasy article.
Good luck with that quad shit. Check back in another 20 years on that Supa-Dupa Powa right over the corner.......
In that case, you can either make it like a puggle stick match
Or play Mortal Kombat
After watching the recent engagements, I think playing Mortal Kombat would work as deterrence better than medieval Kombat.
If India is indeed the aggressor, and China has significantly more assets and capability, then it should work better for both side than the current stalemate.

I don't believe in hocus pocus or bronze age superstition. There is science and logic. You are not even comparing apples to apples.
Spirituality is not the opposite to nationalism, globalism is.
Someone can be religious and still believe in nationalism, just ask any Republican American. And antheists can be nationalist as well.

Confucianism is not a religion, it's more of a moral code/governance method. Yinyang is daoism, which is kinda of a religion. And neither of which is related to how China deals with military matters. The only philosophy that matters to China in war is Sun Tze

You talk was if you believe the Indian fake news media version of events.
The PLA only killed 4-5 Indians in actual combat, and even then it would have been through actual combat rather than cowardly executions as they Indians did.
Most of the Indian fatalities came from fleeing too hard.
No one on the Indian side did a mag dump for very simple reasons, firstly the PLA never backed them into such a corner where they believed they would be killed for certain (surrender was always an option), so there was no real need; the second reason would be that it wasn’t only the Indian troops who were armed with firearms. If you were Indian troops who where getting your butts beat black and blue in melee, you would literally need to be suicidal to want to escalate that to firearms; and thirdly but maybe most importantly, then Indians who could were all too busy fleeing as hard as they could to think about shooting.

The maximum number of nukes held by a country was Russia with 39,197 nukes in 1985.
1/2 of the U.S. population is concentrated in just 75 cities. Just 75 nukes would put 1/2 of U.S. population at risk.
China successfully tested a weaponized H-bomb with a yield of 3 MT (equal to 150 Hiroshima bombs) in 1967.
India's most powerful nuke(not weaponized) tested had yield of 45kt (equal to about 2 Hiroshima bomb). It was a partial success, because it did not complete its fusion burn.
I don't think China has just 300 nukes. Probably more like 3,000 nukes. China acquired 6th generation gas centrifuges from Russia some years back. Assuming China reversed engineered those centrifuges, it will boost China nuke inventory greatly.

Maybe surrender is not an option because they were afraid of what they might get after they litually cowardly murdered the Chinese troops like they do back home to Muslims for delivering cows.
So they rather takectheur chances with the cold water than surrender.
