Ha, good old "strategy"! Apparently the meaning seems to be lost upon you. Anywho, if you'd care to read up history of the region, you would know that neither the British nor the Maharaja of Kashmir had actual control over that forsaken area. China did not militarily "win" Aksai Chin. Demchok is under Indian control, just FYI.
As for Arunachal Pradesh, it was indeed a military humiliation for India - an act of paranoia by Mao who was convinced that SU, US and India had expansionist agenda vis-a-vis China. However, if they claimed AP why is that they went back into their barracks immediately after the world's attention was relieved when Cuban crisis was resolved? Cold feet, eh? And oh, there was no ceasefire 'agreement' by the belligerants. China unilaterally declared ceasefire when the Cuban missile crisis was over and pulled back its troops. And you call that a "victory"? Noice standards, you have there kid.
India, otoh, stopped Chinese aggression during both 67 and 87 incidents. Due to Indian action, China knew it would be prudent to contain the skirmish and realized it was in its best interest not to aggravate the situation. Objectives achieved for India.
