Is it not possible that the Chinese will
Call it an action by a Rouge Unit
Or Rouge Commander
If they had to.start a Conflict why use
Sticks and stones
Why would not start shelling indiscriminately
That stands scrapped immediately
LAC will become Active all along the length
Again wait for the final statement by IA, it is also possible that China used guns.
If they do that, that cannot paint the incident to be initiated by India which in the current scenario they are doing.
This is what they wanted, question is, at what price.
Depends on lot of stuff -
for starters, what exactly happened & how IA retaliated.
