Sending troops into IOK a minor event. I love how rss have minimised chinese invasion.
I hope there would be soon action from Pakistani side on Kashmir due to this golden opportunity.

China stabbed us in the back. In the middle of a pandemic, this was not expected."
Golden like the crowns of SARS-CoV-2, as it spreads by the millions in Pakistan. What a perfect scenario with an economy in tatters, unemployment rising, population sick and leadership crisis throughout major provinces.
Every successful strategist from Hannibal to Sun Tzu to John Boyd would pounce at the chance.

Aaw... Poor Supa powa India... Being bullied and all...Bully India
Second, that we needed to step back and think about the Chinese and their motives. They never, ever do anything without a reason, but typically two or three or more reasons all conflated into one action. I have suggested some of the Indo-centric reasons (there are others, very major) for their doing whatever they are doing; they are angry that Modi is talking to Trump, who is turning out to be a bigger threat to the world than the pandemic, they are angry at public displays of affection with the Japanese, the South Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Indonesians, the Malaysians (a little), and they are furious with the open flirtation with the Taiwanese. Plus it is general policy to keep India unbalanced and uncertain about what is happening, all of which gets done by their posting some fierce Colonels to their Border Defence Regiments, making permanent their structures on their side of the LAC, posting a few regiments of light tanks and mechanised infantry to those locations, playing cat and mouse in the air, with their air force flying figures of eight, and flying straight at Indian radar installations and breaking off at the very last minute, and all the sorts of things that the Chinese love to do, to remind everyone what lovable creatures they are.
Besides Indo-centric reasons for their odd behaviour, there may be other, very strong reasons for this behaviour. There is constant speculation nowadays that Chairman Xi is under severe pressure because of the virus and the way the Chinese authorities reacted to it, the lack of transparency, the openly humiliating angry talk about China and the virus; that the civil unrest in Hong Kong has been a major source of worry; that the erratic behaviour of Trump is another source of uncertainty; and that altogether, the PRC is not in a good mood, and this is showing up in terms of pressure on all exposed pressure points.
Good analysis from an Indian's perspective but, in my opinion, far from reality. I do not think that there is "this" or "that" reason for China's move. Its simply a check, as in chess, in bigger scheme of things. For long China has provided India with a secure invulnerable flank at LAC, which resulted in convergence of military resources on its border with Pakistan. With CPEC and China's world leadership aspirations, it was bound to happen.
Its purely my opinion, and you have all the right to disagree, that Chinese are on LAC for long term. And the hostility on LAC would be directly proportionate to Indian aggression on LOC.
There is no golden opportunity; but if it were there, then all the internal problems that you've mentioned would never desist a foresighted leader from making a move. Any losses incurred would become acceptable.Golden like the crowns of SARS-CoV-2, as it spreads by the millions in Pakistan.
