Since the other thread has hit the bump limit.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/this-time-it-s-likely-we-will-be-in-a-full-scale-war-with-china-very-soon-meghnad-desai/story-S74VHhbMKI4xqbUJqDcuAP_amp.html

>If a war is to break out in the two theatres, which he predicted will begin very soon, it will see the US and India on one side and China on the other.

>“Even today, nobody is contemplating that the whole Doklam thing could break anytime. We could be in a full scale war with China within a month. At that stage it will not be controllable. It may come as a surprise, but that is when the defence co-operation of India (with various countries) will bear fruit,”

>He said that India and the US have an “implicit defence relationship” and that the two countries can safely rely on each other. When asked specifically on the expected reaction of the United States in case there is a war between India and China and whether Washington would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with India, Desai responded: “Absolutely”.

>“Ultimately, you have to understand that India cannot stand up to China without American help and support. America cannot stand up to China without Indian help. That is the symmetry in this relationship,”

>He said that it is important to understand the Chinese thought process because they are “much more nationalistic, militaristic and aggressive” this time.

>Desai also suggested that India should not make the mistake of equating the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) with the Pakistani Army.

>“I think, from past experience, we always assume that we are well prepared but you will be fighting one of the finest armies in the world. It will be a very tough fight for India.

If goes from a skirmish to a long term war then India is fucked.

How Long Can China and India Avoid War in the Himalayas?

http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/02/how-long-can-china-and-india-avoid-war-in-the-himalayas/

>Despite the challenges, there are several possible resolutions in sight if both sides — and third parties trying to defuse tension — strive to understand what might seem like mutually incompatible perspectives.

>For example, India could find alternative ways to grant Beijing a “win” by softening its position on China’s “One Belt, One Road” project, both sides could pursue international arbitration, or both sides could wait until harsh winter weather conditions force both sides forces to quietly draw down.

>Another “off ramp” to deescalate the crisis is a back-channel agreement with Bhutan appearing as the public arbiter, allowing both sides to save face. The most obvious solution, as many have identified, would be a mutual withdrawal and return to pre-June 16 positions – something which may already be slowly happening, as both draw back troops. For both sides to save face, the public narrative of their back-channel dialogue could rely on Bhutan.

>For example, India could claim Bhutan “thanked” India for its support and commitment to upholding the bilateral friendship treaty, but after deploying its own monitoring force, Bhutan requests that India withdraw its forces. This would allow India to withdraw without appearing to bend to Chinese demands, send a message that China’s salami tactics will be challenged, and buttress its credibility with states concerned with Chinese encroachment. For its part, China can claim India withdrew first and quietly halt road construction until a final settlement is reached between itself and Bhutan. This would give all sides, including Bhutan, a face-saving exit necessary to appease domestic audiences. At the same time, India and China will have exchanged clear signals on just how serious they are about the border — and how dangerous assumptions about the other side can be.

>>34764030

>America cannot stand up to China without Indian help

While this bit of the quote was roundly mocked in the other thread, and it was likely said with a bit of Indian arrogance, there is a little truth in it going forward. There is no other country on China's border that has the potential to act as a partner for the USA to counter China in future. All others are; too small (like Vietnam), too hostile to the USA (like Russia), too friendly to China (like Pakistan), or some combination (like Myanmar). Apart from anything else, it will be a colossal headache for China to secure both its Eastern coast & seas, and mountainous South-Western land border, since the military hardware and infrastructure needed for one area is of limited use in the other, straining Chinese military spending as they are forced to counter both threats.

Truths about Indian troops' illegal entry into Chinese territory

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-08/04/c_136500377.htm

>Does the Dong Lang area belong to China?

>Yes.

>The main focus of the dispute is the Dong Lang area.

>What are the consequences of India's illegally crossing the China-India border?

>According to the United Nations (UN) General Assembly Resolution 3314 adopted on Dec. 14, 1974, no consideration of whatsoever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for the invasion or attack by the armed forces of a State of the territory of another State.

>To cross a delimited boundary and enter the territory of a neighboring country on the grounds of so-called "security concerns," for whatever activities, runs counter to the basic principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations.

>As a third party, India has no right to interfere in or impede the boundary talks between China and Bhutan, nor does it have the right to make territorial claims on Bhutan's behalf. India's intrusion into Chinese territory under the pretext of Bhutan has not only violated China's territorial sovereignty, but also challenged Bhutan's sovereignty and independence.

>The Chinese government urges the Indian government to immediately withdraw its trespassing border troops back to the Indian side of the boundary and conduct a thorough investigation into the illegal trespassing so as to swiftly and appropriately resolve the incident and restore peace and tranquility to the border area between the two countries.

chinese global times quote.jpg
23KB, 531x300px
The more I think on the border issue, the more I think it may end in war. The key reason I think this is because of the way the Indian government has acted throughout. India spotted an opportunity in that China is currently preoccupied with Korea, so really don't want a war with India.

The reason is that while China can handle India in a fight, it cannot do so without committing significant military forces, especially PLAAF assets. India rightly deduced that China is worried that the US might try something in Korea if a significant part of China's best forces were tied down fighting India.

The one critical thing the Indians seemed to have overlooked in their haste to exploit this 'opening' is the end game - just how exactly did the Indians think this was going to end?
Just as Korea is currently staying China's hand, ironically, considerations regarding Korea may eventually force China to not only hit India, but hit them hard.

Because if China starts to fear the US is starting to doubt China's resolve to fight, then it doesn't matter if all of China's fighting strength is available to fight in Korea if the US doesn't think China has the balls to use them, as China's top priority is to prevent open war in Korea.

Chinese words and opinions are hardening by the day regarding this matter. One day, probably soon, Beijing will decide the Indians won't move unless they are moved and simply move them back, in body bags if needs be.

In the meantime, it could only take one tweet from from the US president to drastically accelerate that timetable and fundamentally change the nature of the Chinese response from simple eviction to full blown shock and awe.

The only way this doesn't end in bloodshed is if the Indian government sees sense and backs down. But they seem hell bent on burning that bridge with their words and deeds.

Thats what poo in the loos unironically believe and why they need to be rid of their nuclear weapons over long. The only reason they are allowed to keep them is to catch as much nukes from China as possible in a real conflict and minimalize damage to U.S. assets.
These delusional cunts don't even realize what a huge powergap between themself an China has evolved over time. They cant even comprehend the powergap between the U.S.A. and the rest of the world and truely believe India is a player and not just another pawn. They are completely out of touch.

1/3
Was typing this for the other bread but it is kill
China > India
China has more nukes, more delivery systems, including 5-6 SSBNs (and one Nork SSB) to India's 1 (4 planned total), and multi stage weapons. The largest tested Chinese gadget is 4Mt, the largest tested Indian device is 60 kt. Though, famously, Chinese warheads are kept separate from the missiles at the moment.
All this represents a step-change in capability, India could give China a bloody nose, but would be restricted to battlefield or high priority military targets by necessity. China could turn India into a depopulated wasteland.
Taking nukes off the table then, for the sake of a good faith answer, we still see the present Indian armed forces cannot compete with China. India's army is their most substantial branch, with 1,100,000 volunteer soldiers. This is the largest volunteer army on Earth. Indian esprit de corps and institutional experience can be assumed to be superior to those of the PLAN. India has fought in several conventional wars in the last century, and in peacekeeping operations with distinction, and benefits from ties to western militaries who maintain a high standard of training. India's equipment is dated. She still operates T-72Ms and BMP-2s for the most part, which are Soviet era imports and so certainly monkeyed as fuck. India also has few artillery and has stated intent to buy between 3-4000 artillery systems in the next few years. India is in the process of modernisation, hoping to buy 1900 T-90s and 250 indigenous Arihant MBTs (and an undisclosed number of Arihant-2s as yet to enter service).
China has a conscript army of 1,600,000. China does not actually enforce conscription that much, instead only maintaining the numbers it targets. China's army has a lot of very modernized equipment, ~600 2001 vintage ZTZ-99 and 99A and some ~2000 Type 96/96A which entered service in 1997.
>>
2/3
Both of these can be safely expected to be quite superior to T-72s and both are probably marginally inferior to T-90s and the Arihant. It's a similar pattern for IFVs/APCs. This qualitative edge would help compensate for the PLAs lack of exercise partners and exchange training, and experience, especially in mobile armoured warfare.
The main area of conflict on land would initially be the fucking Himalayas. I cannot think of anywhere more difficult to conduct a war. This would place a premium on quality and morale, and make it difficult for China to leverage either it's numerical advantage or advantage in heavy armour. Artillery is also at a premium in this environment, Indias lack of quantity and quality artillery would tell. The Himalayas are too high for most helicopters, and the weather hampers operations too. It's hard to predict an outcome, in a long grind of attrition China has the numbers but offensive operations in that environ would be brutal. Look at the Italian alpine campaign of WW1 for inspiration. India does have doctrinal experience from wars with Pakistan, and is forming a dedicated mountain corps which will presumably be quite elite and properly equipped for this role.
In the air India has 240 Su30MKI's (Gen4.5ish) and 69 heavily upgraded MiG-29's (gen 4.1?), about 20 Tejas (indigenous gen 4.5), and a few older aircraft like MiG-21's that are dead meat in a shooting war. All coordinated by AEWC supported by a few dedicated ELINT, Recce and EW aircraft. Finally India has some 240 gen 3 ground attack aircraft of varying types and the Su30MKIs can also fill this role, so if they have air superiority they could do some work. If.

3/3
China has 2100 combat aircraft, of which 600 are considered "Modern" by the Pentagon. I'm not listing them here. Suffice to say the PLAAF is bigger than the IAF, and technologically on par with some jets which are more modern than anything in the IAF inventory for now (Rafael should help compensate for this soon, and PAK-FA in a long time).
China also has a big inventory of SAMs, of all sizes, notably including the HQ-9 heavyweight SAM with an estimated range of 200km. India has no dedicated SEAD aircraft, and nothing really designed to perform SEAD at all against this level of threat. India can expect serious attrition to modern Chinese SAMs even in the mountains. India does use some middle-weight SAMs, such as the indigenous Akash (~30km range) and Israeli SPYDER (~35km range), but nothing in the HQ-9's class.
A prolonged air campaign would see China gain air superiority, but pay for it. Nevertheless, a decisive advantage in every war it has been a factor in.
Finally India's Navy is paltry compared to China, and older. China also has a sizeable marine contingent of 18,000 and 63 Landing ships including 32 LSTs, and 5 Amphibious Assault Carriers. China has 8 SSNs to India's sole loaned Akula, 50 SSKs to India's 13, and 85 blue water combatants, a huge contingent of which was put to sea in the last 15 years. And 2 carriers to India's 1, though the second is still in sea trials. China could quite possibly establish a beachhead somewhere
Or more likely, China could conduct anti shipping operations almost with impunity, and strangle Indian sea trade. India is quite reliant on foreign imports for a country of it's size, 80% of Indian oil consumption is imported and demand for oil jumped 11% last year. India struggles with hunger, and gasoline/diesel rations coupled with no way to import food would make a sustained war very politically difficult.

>>34768290
Tunnels are easy targets. But you are right. China has a logistical advantage. I said China would win.
Frontline logistics are very important but they aren't literally 100% everything, as the French in 1940 can attest. The zone of conflict precludes intense, resource-heavy warfare, fuelling and repairing and changing tracks and replacing main gun barrels would not be necessary to keep a mountain infantry corps going. India has enough men and materiel stationed in the immediate area to stall an advance for some time.
A long bloody stalemate favours China for like ten different reasons, including the road/rail networks, but it's moot if India gets BTFO'd out the sky and a Chinese CTF just sank the last slave junker.

It seems likely that India would have a similar problem with Pakistan - while they ought to be unlikely to actually intervene I can figure them trying to help China with intelligence and trying to tie down Indian forces (particularly air assets).

You want to know whether China goes to war or not, here are two easy to spot signs.

1. China starts doing a massive media campaign to isolate India, in doing this India can either withdraw or India will be further isolated further. The first war is the war of public opinion.

2. Once India is isolated, China will have far more options, expect to see massive deployments into Tibet, and of course #1 will still be happening. Then fighting may commence.

Additionally, India's action in sending troops might be the action of a regional commander and Modi might not even know about it, I say this because this situation got into news 2 weeks after it happened, and the Indian government was not coordinated in its response, nor did any Western nation said anything, and still to today no Western nation is taking India's position, this only shows India's initial decision was very well unplanned

However, India is stuck because their media is stirring things up, so Modi who have a strong man image can't back down anymore. If you look at India's official government statements they actually are keeping it a bit low key, and a few weeks back they proposed that both side withdraw together, that only means Indian top leadership knows if this keep goes on it won't end well for them.

India is not getting any support from West whatsoever and if this keep goes on, it might even jeopardize West goal to build up an "Democratic" "Responsible" and "Rule following" India as a counter weight to China. If India has demonstrated that they are not at all "responsible" or "rule following", then it be a bit hypocritical for West to support them. I'm sure they still will get support, but won't be with the excuse of supporting a rightful power to counter a evil power anymore. It be compared to US giving weapons to Syrian rebels, but everyone know those rebels are basically terrorists. I think this long term implication is more important than anything else.

Chakra is an Akula II completed to a spec issued in the 80s.
China's SSN fleet is includes 5 Type 9-3s, put to sea since 2002. It's safe to assume that they are not seriously outmatched by an Akula II even if the Akula is more quiet. Besides, as soon as Chakra fires one tube the launch transient will give her up. Quantity has a certain quality.

you should have ignored to political BS opener, and looked and the disbursement of forces below. Effectively China's supply lines are better, but India has more troops, better, bases, far more airbases, and more material on the ground. SO if the fight was tomorrow China would lose, but if they built up their forces for 6-12 months they'd win.

>>34770495
your strategy requires that all the Type9-3s stick together to fight a single akula. That makes them easy targets for ASW because if one gives away its position, all of their positions are given away.

>Quantity has a certain quality.
only when said quantity can be brought to bear on the enemy. If you cannot bring your superior numbers to bear on the enemy for any reason, such as logistics, lack of trained manpower, one captain got lost, a choke point such as the straits of malaca, mechanical failure, etc. then your quantity is meaningless.

>>34769622
China will not fight India, because the risks are too great, any war lasting linger than say sixty days will lead to economic sanctions against China, which will lead to internal unrest and threaten the control of CCP, and everything the Chinks do is examined and decided through the lens of maintaing the parties grip on power. Since what little legitimaticy the have rests solely on maintaining economic progress and a rising standard of living. With the Chinese economy already in a downturn the will not risk the possible internal strife that foreign conflict would bring about.

Take a look at Russia, there is no chance in hell Russia will get on India's side, I'm sure Russia want China and India to fight each other to weaken each other, so China will be tied down and have less ambition in Siberia.

Russia will NEVER openly support India, if they did that, that means Russia will openly piss off China who's 3 province bordering Russia far east with 110 million while Russia's entire far east with less than 6 million.

part of the problem of straight up comparing aircraft is that it assumes they can fly from anywhere, and have full fuel and weapons in the conflict zeon. Simply put China's airbases are hundreds of km further away than India's so such an imbalance in raw numbers will be significantly mitigated due to the extra distance PLAAF planes have to travel.

Soviet sub doctrine involved working in pairs, you don't need all the Chinese SSs in one blob, just the ones picketing ahead of the Chinese CBG in pairs or 3s. And the Chakra is not much better than the Type-93, Type-93 is newer and more loud but benefits from newer sensors and better computational processing power to isolate signals in noise. Type 93As (of which there is four) are reportedly much more quiet than Type 93s. A 1 on 1 contest is likely to favour the Akula but not by much. If China puts 6 boats to sea to screen for its CBG, Chakra is not going to beat them all. Certainly not if the crew is anything like
>>34763989
Akulas are old botes, they don't have pump-jets or even shrouded screws, and have a computer system from the late 80s. Chakra has 8x533mm tubes compared to 4x533 and 4x655 + 6 533mm external, a serious downgrade, probably to reduce the cost of the boat considering she was under construction for 15 years. Other less visible cost reduction measures are to be expected, and it would be very strange if any major upgrades had been added for a sub that was built to be leased.
>>34771882
Yes Arihant and T-90 are mediocre, but they would be a serious step up compared to monkeyed T-72Ms. Arihant/T-90s have modern FCS and rangefinders, and with the right ammo can match ZTZ-99s. Modern MBT comparisons are mostly see-first-shoot-first-kill-first, at which point doctrine and optics/information are the deciding factor.
Arihant 1 is also clearly a tech development program to get the expertise up to speed, which is why they will comprise <10% of India's projected MBT force. They expect it to be crap, Arihant-2 or whatever the successor is will be the payoff. But the point is moot, OP asks about today, and today they have T72Ms.
>>
>>34772987
True, but India suffers for a lack of operational SAM assets, and the newer Chinese types are also the ones with longer ranges. If China bases the better stuff nearby it's still the favourite in the air war. Not to mention, China has extensive tanker and C3 advantages over the IAF.

True, I'm just saying the quantity gap between PLAAF and IAF is much larger than most people tend to believe.

And what most of these comparisons failed to take into count is that China's rocket force and their limited anti BM ability with HQ19 and DN series. A missile exchange between India and China would be in latter's favor.

Indian's lack of AWACS, SEAD ability and modern IADS systems also doesn't help.

>I think it would be interesting how this shakes out, but I suspect India will do better than the raw numbers suggest.

>>
>>34774351
Certainly, it seems that China holds a major advantage in the air, and this can only be exacerbated by the fact that IAF would still need to potentially operate against Pakistan.
It is difficult to see any China v India confrontation where Pakistan does not try for a land grab, even if they conduct only limited operations.

>you don't need all the Chinese SSs in one blob, just the ones picketing ahead of the Chinese CBG in pairs or 3s

Now you not just putting the subsurface ships in the same place, you are placing their only CBG ships there too. You are asking to be annihilated by a single nuke. Also India has a CBG as well, and the fight would be next to Indian Shores, meaning shore launched AShMs, so if if its non nuclear, this is not a fight China should take.

>>34774019
China doesn't have those SAM systems installed in the Doklam area. So why not delay the fight in order to prepare better. Also topography is a bitch in the Himalayas, why try to avoid a SAM when I can just duck down behind a freaking mountain.

>extensive tanker and C3 advantages over the IAF
Again this helps even the playing field, but it by no means makes up for have no airbases in the theatre of operations.

>>34774351
BM have never shown themselves to be very effective, simply because the targets they are generally aimed at, military bases, large troop concentrations, etc require a nuclear warhead or many many BMs to destroy. Can BM kill people, sure, but they never have and never will change the tide of a war unless they are armed with nukes.

Not even close to reality. China only had ~260 warheads total. To put that number in perspective the UK determined that the absolute minimum number of warheads needed to effectively hold at risk three Russian cities is 160 warheads.

The difference between "three Russian cities damaged to 75% of targeting criteria or Moscow damaged to 98% of targeting criteria" and "turn India into a depopulated wasteland" is far more then a 60% increase in numbers can provide.

China's nuclear arsenal is hard to estimate. Reports ranging from 200 to thousands.

But an educated guess would sugget a nation with hundreds of miles of known underground nuclear facilty and can pull out dozens of TELs at a parade wouldn't limit itself to just mere 200 warheads.

DESU, that 200 something digit was pulled out of some thinktank's asses and hasn't been updated since 80s

why do you think the entire argentine fleet including their carrier never sortied again after the Belgrano got sunk?

literally the only thing holding the brits back from sinking the entire argentine fleet quickly was their inflexible top down doctrine and lack of co-ordination between subs and naval search aircraft

India aren't exaclty ASW experts. the last time they tried to sink a ww2 submarine it sunk one frigate and chased off another

Hard to say, China needs to keep Pakistan on side in order to keep India under he threat of a two-front war but you've stipulated that Pakistan would keep out of it. Arunachal Pradesh is the primary water catchment for Eastern South Asia so a 'limited war for limited gains' would probably satisfy China - they would gain leverage over India, Bhutan, Bangladesh etc... Therefore India would be motivated to do everything in its power to prevent a loss in Arunachal Pradesh.

My prediction: bloody stalemate. ~2,000,000 dead, border issue unsolved.

Realistically neither side can risk war with the other at this moment but brinksmanship and posturing is still the order of the day.

what source is this? yes minister?

the russians were more pessimistic "A memo from the archives of Vitalii Leonidovich Kataev, [talking about moscow's ballistic missile defenses] written circa 1985, had envisaged that the system "will be completed in 1987 to provide protection from a strike of 1-2 modern and prospective ICBMs and up to 35 Pershing 2-type intermediate-range missiles"

so instead of being targeted by 3 missiles NATO would launch 5. every other russian city was completely undefended

that pic doesn't say what you are implying at all

as a counter example

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_Leg

a British estimate of a soviet IRBM strike with 131 weapons and 205 megatons targeting

>24 cities
>14 centers of government
>23 RAF bases
>14 USAFE bases
>10 radar sites
>8 C3 centers
>7 naval communication centers
>6 naval bases

lead to an estimated 30 million casualities(75% of the british population) in a strike against mostly military targets

I remember seeing a document suggesting a US strike on Chinese missile fields(what around 300 target sites?) would cause something retarded like 200 million causualies

do you think a similar amount of purely counter-value strikes on india wouldn't kill a massive percentage of the Indian population?

welcome to the 70s lad. big boom boom overcomes inaccurate missiles

american medium and Intermediate missiles had a yield of 1.44 megatons

most soivet weapons were in the 1-2Mt range and some had 5+Mt(SS-9 had a 25Mt yield)

>many population centers hit for no discernible reason

the soviets had 1000+ MRBMs and IRBMs(1,846 soviet missiles were destroyed by the IRBM treaty) plus many more nuclear-armed Badger and Backfire bombers to share out between Britain, France and West Germany also Britain would retaliate full-force against soviet cities regardless of what targets the soviet chose.

given the above the Square Leg planners probably assumed the soviets would shit on Britain massively attacking both civilian and millitary targets to kill Britain completely in one punch (leaving their longer range weapons and the more complex game of nuclear tic-tac-toe for the yanks)

Maybe naval engagement - two weak navies, could be shut down by Singapore at this point.

Please so me the combined runway shredding cluster bomb, bunker buster primary. Doesn't exist? Yeah thought not.

Its an either or question, target the large runway and damage it in as many places as possible or leave it alone and bust the HAS and other bunkers.

If you imply they are going to launch a mass strike of precision bunker busters and tarmac shredding missiles, that requires a massive logistical build up of delivery systems, missiles, planes, bombs and airbases that currently China doesn't have. More reason for China to delay the fight for 6-12months and prepare properly. (massive strikes require far larger stores and infrastructure, despite what the chinks have been telling you)

Also, the UK expects that damage from the actual at sea deterrence at a minimum. Not from 160 warheads, that's the size of the total stockpile. Ie. The lowest level of deterrence, with one sub at sea, should be capable of totally destroying Moscow or 75% of 3 Russian cities.
The successor ssbn is slated to carry 12 missiles, each carrying 4 warheads out of a possible 8. So the UK expects to achieve that level of retaliation with 48 warheads, as an absolute minimum.

Following the stern warning issued by China to India, the latter has withdrawn troops from the bordering Doklam area late night close to Sunday morning and has left only 50 personnel in that area which means that Indian troops have finally surrendered to Chinese authorities.

https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/221901-Indian-troops-surrender-to-Chinese-warnings

>The Chinese government had warned India against interference in the areas on the pretext of ‘disputed territory’ and had given mobilization orders to its troops for operations with the objective of putting an end to India’s interventionist designs on the basis of false pretexts and claims that stand far from reality.

>China’s senior officials had also taken exception to the hegemonic conduct of New Delhi government which has “become habitual of treating the countries of South Asia as its satellites or low-category states.

>But in case of China, India is certainly oblivious to the military power and preparedness of China and is totally mistaken about its own capabilities, taking encouragement probably from its growing links with some other powers of the world”. The conflict started when, a few weeks back, Indian troops trespassed on Chinese territory in the bordering region and tried to forcibly stop the Chinese officials from some construction and development works going on in that area.

>Following the developments on Sunday, Beijing has, however, insisted upon total withdrawal of Indian forces from the area, saying that even the presence of 50 Indian personnel in the area gives birth to doubts as if India was continuing with its negative designs that symbolize rigidity and negation of international norms of diplomacy, goodwill and good neighborly ties.

So the war is off /k/?

This article jumps the gun a little bit. There have been multiple sources over the past few days including from the Chinese govt suggesting that India has drawn down its troop presence in Donglang, but still maintained 40-50 troops there. I believe China has insisted and demanded that all the Indian troops withdraw, whereas India a few days ago said it has not withdrawn any of its troops and maintained the same force level there. Either way it's all a bit bizarre and I think this article definitely has an inaccurate title.

India will end up surrendering soon, but will still claim victory for one reason or another (they'll probably claim that China attempted to take over half of India, with several hundred troops lol, and got repelled).

India has no allies in the region that want to help because actual diplomats aren't retarded and they realize that the entire dispute is stupid. The choices are either to get rich with China or side with India for absolutely nothing. Even Bhutan, whom depends on India on for protection, is flaking out.
