Those who say China will not start a war with India are living in fool's paradise.
China has already started a war with India. He has taken over 3000 square km area from India by force.
In any other country that would have tantamount to declaration of war.
It is that India and Modi are such cowards that they are using "hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil" strategy.
I said 3000 Sq km not 1000 sq km, because the Defence Minister of Indian issued official statement that China is occupying 41000 sq km area of India in Ladakh, not 39,000 sq km.
There are complex issues at work and China has and would respond to these complex issues, whenever the need arises. In that context remember what Xi said recently to the PLA to get ready for war. He didn't use India's name, he meant a wider war involving USA.
The current scenario and China's reaction only involved one dimension, that to due the threats issued by Indians that they are ready to attack Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan. China just checkmate India and stopped the stupid idiots in their tracks.
If India had responded, the war would have expended and I am certain, Pakistan would have attacked India too. There is a reason why Modi kept quiet after his consultation with the Army Generals. Keeping false propaganda and suicide attitude of India of 2.5 war, their generals know they would be caught napping if they go for war against China and Pakistan.
The second scenario is in SC sea. The India is taking the bait there. We talking about wider war involving Taiwan. That war depends on USA attitude. We have to wait and see for that scenario to develop.
India should remember, the other three members of the Quad , i.e. USA , Japan and Australia would not drag themselves in to war because of India. That is a guarantee.
