Indo-China tensions: excellent opportunity for Pakistan to cash in?

[GlobalVillageSpace]

Global Village Space |
We have always missed opportune moments to resolve the Kashmir dispute. In the 1962 India/China war, we should have attacked or at least moved our troops on LOC to force India into a solution. Many such opportunities came our way to solve the Kashmir issue but we failed to avail them.

Now, skirmishes are going on between China and India. China has amassed its troops in Ladakh. This is the time we should also move our forces along the LOC to send a message to India, and internationally, that now China and Pakistan are one.

This should be our new foreign regional strategy. India can be given a choice to join this military and economic grouping or face a collective adversary. Once an economic and military grouping is made among India, Pakistan, China, Iran and Afghanistan, an era of regional peace will usher. We can then cut our military expenses for better domestic economic development.

Indian options on current Ladakh situation
The Indians have created the present Ladakh crisis by their belligerent behaviour. India has tried to treat China as if it is one of the SAARC countries.

The open threats to CPEC (China’s jewel in its OBOR vision) because it is running through Pakistan and the abolishment of article 370/35A for IOJ&K with the bifurcation of Kashmir & Ladakh into Union territories (with ramifications for Aksai Chin area) has been seen very seriously by China.

The Chinese are prudently extending their perimeter of security for CPEC (by moving onto Shyok river & India’s Subsector North through Galwan valley) & also ensuring that no envelopment move can germinate from the western side of Aksai Chin which can threaten the Western Highway from Tibet to China.

Firstly, negotiations to save face like done by China at Doklam & return of Chinese troops to LAC is an option. Some curtailment of road making (by India) to placate China & claiming it as a peaceful resolution is part of this.

Secondly, saving face by limited escalatory response like flights by helicopters, show of force through troop build-up and firing, without causing Chinese casualties, along LAC incursion points. Then using Russia, to convince China, to deescalate the situation and stabilise LAC.

India will pay their price for the shity chaos.
Modi can not control the spread of covid19 in India, just make tension for a diversionary tactic.
If any Chinese soldier was murdered by Indian at 15th June, there would be the lead news in Inidan media, but not in fact.

Thats not the point. Why do you think Pakistan should not or will not take advantage of the situation specially if it escalates?
There have already been talks on different media outlets about the possibility of this.

Downright foolish move. The numbers don't add up to a cheap victory. Or even an expensive victory.

If you want to debate seriously Joe i am all for it but you need to take off those Indian shades first.

if we are not ready for military action atleast we should increase support to khalistan and kashmiris and provide them with weapons,if separatists movement gain momentum at this time with high insurgencies indian army will not be able to control it

That implies that Tibet is not China.

This is not a good time. Unfortunately, India is very patient, they want to avoid a war that they feel cannot be won. They do not want the conflict with China to get out of control and allow third parties (pakistan, nepal, bangladesh) to benefit.

does that make you sleep peacefully?

Hi,

To all fanbois, neem hakeem and armchair generals -

It is precisely what the US and India want Pakistan to do that. To escalate in Kashmir and as soon as that happens US being cheap mediator will come with UN forces over Kashmir area and say these are two Nuke rivals and war should be avoided with them as Pakistan doesn't have depth and will lower the nuke threshold so they will come with UN stop the clashes /war and then since this is disputed they will stop the road world of CPEC cutting through that region as a whole of that is disputed.

China has restraint Pakistan since last year from making any move that will endanger the cpecs integrity, hence Pakistan is just calmly waiting. whereas china can easily deal with India and put immense pressure on them without affecting the status quo. IF you look Bejineg thinks tanks theyre saying this all because of revocation of article 370.

This is main point that everyone here is missing

Correct. No need to jump in when China is in control.

Thank you for your very sensible post, but there is a cavil or two. Maybe 'Pakistan is just calmly waiting', but then, we have to conclude that PDF is not Pakistan. The last thing one can say about PDF is that its membership is calmly waiting.
