What are China’s options?

[Fireurimagination]

At Doklam it is given that India holds strategic positions so it will be very difficult for China to dislodge India from there without itself taking heavy casualties. So what all can they do and what will be the consciences of the same?

1. First would be a surprise attack to take up the land and stop there

Consequence: India will launch a counter offensive and it will be beginning of either a low intensity or all-out war

2. The surprise attack will not stop at the valley and will go deeper inside Indian territory to teach India a lesson

Consequence: Again India will launch counter offensive and can also open other fronts as well. This will again lead to low intensity or all-out war

3. Most likely - China will intrude in some other place and sit on India’s territory and ask India to vacate troops from Doklam and then only it will pull-back

Consequence: India may open another front of it’s own 'OR' Both will negotiate and accept the formula Doval took to Beijing. India and China both withdraw and China builds the road at a safe distance. Face-saver for both.

Both India and China don’t want a live border where-in their other border is already hot. Any pointers on what kind of hardware can be used by both side guys?

Options:

1. Clam down and stop being a spoiler of peace.
2. War and get invaded in all points.
3. Make huge fan base with extreme cheerleaders primarily from Pakistan and BD (all of those are hardcore supporter of Islamic rule but close their eyes when Chinese forces Imams to dance like robots)

I think they are going for option 3.

There would be a deadline, no surprise attack.

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 is a very powerful army and I think they also have (much) training in mountain warfare,"

"So, according to me, it will be a very tough fight for India. Don't be mistaken that this will be easy. It is not Pakistan. The Pakistani Army is the same set of people. They come from the same army traditions and they have the same thinking but the Chinese are very different."

Noting that China has been unusually "nationalistic, militaristic and aggressive" over the Doklam standoff, the noted economist went on to add, "I am sure we are not told everything that is going on. But my worry is even though India will not openly become militaristic but have we got the preparedness for it? We may have things in place. I just wish and hope that we are prepared for a very tough war which may last for a long time."

After all this chest thumping, China's options are limited.
They have boxed themselves into a corner & only Indias magnanimity would give them a face saver.

What will India demand to give China a face saver though, is the real question.

Any attack on India by Chinese would result in India opening conflict at place which would be extremely unsavoury to Chinese.

Nothing gonna happen. They knows Indian position at Himalayan terrain.
I think Chinese are not that fool to fire first bullet on Indian troops in 2017.
After two weeks they are gonna be ready for talk without any condition.
The result will be withdrawing troops from both sides.
Chinese are gonna get embarrassment one way to another on global stage.

Surprise?
That element went down the drain when china threatened to launch a 2 front conflict along with pakistan and India responded with bringing in more troops and armoured units, effectively thwarting any chances of a blitzkrieg.

India is sitting on Chinese territory and it is not even a claimant to it. So India is the aggressor and China has no urgency to resolve it, while India's reason for occupation grow weaker by the hour. Do you really think India can stay on that land for ever and annex land from CHINA just like that?

China is delaying its response to gain maximum political mileage and embarrass India. It seems like India has forgotten that China is a bit different from Nepal.

The only option the chinese have is to sit and cry along with their cheerleaders!!!

China is occupying a land belonged to Bhutan....and about political milage, are you watching international media? Its other way around. Everyone is aware of China's expansionist plans be in in SCS or somewhere else. This time they are bullying a country which is 100s times smaller.

 

[ziaulislam]

china is ruled by rich elite whom interest is in peace yet they have to face save themselves too.
so i think they would try political pressure on india, if nothing happens they will do nothing i guess and except indian formula
having said if india pushes too much china will do a quick, swift deadly operation, china outnumbers india 1:4-5 in most departments, its worse than how india outnumbers

If what you said is true, it makes all the whole thing that much more worse for Xi.
It shows Chinese Comrades as Pansies who can't even defend their land and are pussyfooting around begging Indians.

This people now dont know how to spin the story anymore. They are getting out of options

 

[pluto]

India was tamed by western world, not like Russia, China, Pakistan, even Japan. India did this to please U.S，
nothing more.
China has not taken a movement just because it doesn't want U.S, who is behind all of this, to benifit from the issue.
You can see North Korea takes actions a lot but U.S did nothing real, so it's a matter between bosses.

Bhutan has been claiming this land but it has been with China for centuries now, and as far as claims go, China has an equally valid claim to it as well. How can you say that Bhutan has a stronger claim on Doklam than China?

With reference to International media, I have not seen much support for India either. But it is not about international media. What is really important is what the major powers of the world have said on this issue, and they have been magnificently muted up till now on support for India. As they can't openly support China, their lack of vociferous support for India is a sign of a major blunder for India, and it will only grow in the coming days.
