China the enigma. Catch the bull by its horns. A bit long, but necessary.
China has its fingers (pun intended) all over its area of influence and possibly beyond in some cases. Wherever there is a dispute (there sure is on the LAC, especially in eight specific locations) it is either settled by force or through negotiations. Negotiations means “give and take” without bloodshed. War and /or conflict also means give and take after wasteful expenditures and bloodshed. In the circumstance, points for consideration are:
1. War or negotiations.
2. Is India politically ready for negotiations?
3. Is China ready to negotiate?
4. Is India ready for war?
5. Does China want war?
6. Will internal bickering (in Indian media and Parliament etc…), on a well-known situation, help India or China?
7. Is China aiming to destablise India politically (a sure enough aim of any Nation to destablise its perceived “unfriendly” neighbour), even proposed as an instrument of war by Chanakya.
8. Are there other options for India like Internationalising the dispute etc. -not recommended for obvious reasons as everybody involved will want their pound of flesh and also extend their “help” all over the place.
Tail piece: I obviously, am no expert of any sort and have only put out my views as I see the situation. Well, like you, I sometimes wonder who are the experts? If we can get answers to the above Qs, we can get the monkey of China off our LAC back.
