Hi there falsie,now's the time to put your teeny tiny fingers inside your tiny little a$$hole and start fingering!!
Okay,then tell me why on earth did the Chinis suddenly have a change of heart and returned the entire NEFA literally on a silver platter to India!!You are telling this as if they did a great philanthropic activity by handing over the NEFA which they invaded in the first place back to their rightful owners!!The actual history,i am afraid is far more complex than what you've written here!!The truth is that the Chinese became nervous at the news of the U.S.A. joining the Indian cause,they knew the tide would change drastically once the U.S. landed it's troops and equipment in support of India,perhaps they would have ended up liberating Tibet in the due process as the Indian Army was already on the verge of launching a major counter-offensive in the NEFA region something that the chinese really didn't want at that point of time.Plus we also have to keep in mind of the fact that China didn't have the n-bomb in it's arsenal at that time and the Americans were just searching for a pretext to bomb the living daylight out of the PRC leadership for the humiliation that they had suffered in Korean campaign to the Chinese forces!!All these factors culminated in form of PLA's retreat from the NEFA zone and declaration of an unilateral ceasefire.
Had China taken and kept NEFA, US would NOT have come with ground troops.
US would have helped, which they did, but they would not have come to help get back an obscure border area.
Tibet was never really in question for the Americans. They always treated it as a part of China. They only started questioning due to the loss of Nationalists, and the rise of Communists.
NEFA was returned to India because China didn't want that area, and was always pushing for a negotiated settlement, one which Jawaharlal nehru, very unwisely, rejected. He on the other hand initiated a provocative Forward Policy.
Plus, at that time China was suffering from famine.
The potential of US role was only one small factor.
