@8:36 - Your explanation is poor and contrived. China doesn't fear Tibet being converted into an Indian military base. India historically never sought to occupy Tibet, as India was mainly just a bunch of kingdoms feuding with each other internally. It was China's invasion of Tibet in the 1950s which suddenly gave China a border with India. The reality is that China invaded Tibet because Mao's "Great Leap Forward" social experiment failed badly and caused mass famine. Anytime Beijing has run into difficulties at home, it has responded by pushing out westwards. This is what happened when China invaded Tibet in the 1950s, and this is also what has more recently been repeated with China's new Belt & Road Initiative. In both cases, India did nothing to precipitate China's actions. China invaded Tibet in the 1950s because Mao's "Great Leap Forward" failed, and then China later came up with the Belt-&-Road Initiative because of America's pushback against China's unfair trading practices. In both of these situations, China has sought to push out westwards, and in neither case has India been the cause of China's actions, but merely the recipient of them. From the Indian viewpoint, China is a wanton bully, and they're only going to keep pushing until someone else pushes back.
