That is where you are wrong. To contain China, prority should be Pakistan and North Korea. China supports these two rogue nations to keep every power in Asia occupied and busy. You take out Pakistan and china will have to face full force of Indian Armed Forces on its borders. If North Korea is taken out or merged with South Korea, USA will get a land border to China. Please try and understand it is these goondas of China which we must tackle first. China will automatically climb down.Pakistan can be handled any time covertly. Overt action is not possible now , there is no legitimate reason for going overt we have lost the chance and on world platform it will show India as an aggressor, unless until Pakistan does something again. I hope they don't, many lives get lost.
Priority should be China not Pakistan.
