I've pointed it out before. As far as Western Europe is concerned, they are heavily depdendent on Chinese imports. The same with the US.
While the US will be able to make strategic decisions in favour of national security, Europe won't. The Europeans stay in power only if their economy is in control and Russia is in check. So an Indo-Pak war will give European leaders the excuse needed to shift the focus away from China instead.
What we need to do is lay low and keep the world focused on the COVID situation. The more the world speaks about COVID, the more pressure China is under. Right now is one of those rare moments when China is weak both internally and externally. So why help them? You are helping them a lot if you shift global focus away from COVID. Never do what your enemy wants you to do. It is also why Modi publicly only talks about the virus.
Which is why we need to do things that affect the LAC only, which is too small for the world to focus on beyond a few days. And we can make our own gains by repeating what China's doing elsewhere along the LAC, and it should be done very, very quietly. Naturally, we should use this chance to rid ourselves of Chinese technology investments in India.
COVID, COVID, COVID, China, China, China, the next 2 years must only be that in the front page of global newspapers. Right now the global focus should be on who gets vaccines first and how to punish China for their lies on COVID.
In the meantime, since our attitude with Pakistan has changed a lot, we can punish them with air strikes whenever we want to without risking war. Pakistan is no longer capable of fighting a war, so why help China by attacking Pakistan? Let them both attack us if they want to.
