Any chinese members or any other knowledgeable members. Please answer the following questions:
a) Why is china doing these incursions? What do they gain from it? Is it worth risking a huge Indian market.
b) China may loose indian market [with $50B trade surplus favouring china]. Is China willing to loose this?
c) Chinese companies will loose ability to participate in 5G bids in India. Is China willing to loose this?
d) China is pushing India into more and more alignment with USA & Japan. Is it in China's interests?
e) If there is a war, and if India defends itself, then it will be a big loss of face for China. Isn't it?
a) But can you also see how Indian media and members here cannot even agree what really is happening? Chinese media only have said border with India has issues and things can get out of control. So here you are saying China is doing incursions but this page alone is full of Indian members saying it is India who has gone into China and set some camp or somethings and China is too scared or something.
b) It will not lose this to be honest. Of course people can think differently but currently unless all everyday item and business necessities can be manufactured just as cheap in India or somewhere else, then the market if it gets lost becomes only lost slowly not in one or two months. If for example your government bans all Chinese products then will average Indian buy German product or Japanese? Okay if you want to set up production in India, then how come it has not happened. We can all make reasons and assumptions but the market and economic forces are not quite so simple. India will need to start gradually doing this now and in some years time, you will have benefits and in decades then India will be totally self reliant and require nothing imported except things it does not have.
c) It can lose 5G Indian contract. I don't think it cares that much. All trade is two way. Like above, it's not like China is only selling $1,000,000 Ferrari cars which you can actually not buy and be fine without. It usually sells things most businesses require at a certain price and quality that so far exceeds most offered in world but of course Thailand and many other places offer similar price and quality ratio but maybe not supply chain reliability when you calculate transportation for example. Supply chain management is easy to disrupt and kill small businesses and create major economic issues if changed suddenly. Anyway 5G brings many benefits like centralized city management which can involve driverless bus, cars, trains, boats, drones for deliveries. It can offer many times faster internet speeds and real time remote working even for controlling traffic lights or a bulldozer machine. Basically 5G is a technology that brings new technologies and businesses into reality and facilitate all these things. If India wants to purchase elsewhere they can. There are supposed to be certain extra costs and most technologist consider Huawei's 5G to be at least a little bit ahead. I know everyone will have opinions on this and guesses but who cares about that. Basically whatever India chooses, it is up to India to evaluate and choose.
d) Definitely not CCP's idea. They are asking for more enemies? It is up to USA and European influence on India and how Indian leaders respond. Chinese have very little or no influence. So again it is India's own choice and whatever choice we make in life, there are things foolish ones will ignore or pretend to be something it is not. So like consequences of above decisions, you can tell yourself there is nothing to it for example Huawei 5G is garbage fake junk so just buy Ericsson instead. Then if Ericsson product does not live up to expectation and more expensive, the attitude becomes well Huawei is shit anyway or becomes well it's all China's fault. Again we have agency ourselves and for this question, perhaps we should know the real facts which is question A. Then we can go from there and say if it is really CCP pushing into India or something else or maybe nothing at all and just pure drama.
e) Well if we go to war and India wins all the territories it claims, then yes CCP will lose face and Chinese people will demand victory or them to stand down. Will this happen though or I predict if war comes, it will be India says I shoot down 1000 jets and 100000 soldiers and China says something else. Even with question A, India's side is saying totally opposite things. But the good thing about reality is it does not care what lies are said. If India wins and China's lying about shooting down x and gaining territory, then it is still India's real material gain. Same if order is reversed.
