I wanted to contradict you, but I gave up, I saw that the Indian Air Marshal said exactly the same thing as you, this is the opinion that Indian officials have instilled in Indians, telling Indians that we are strong, the enemy is false, that's all.
He isn't wrong in his assessment. Have you considered the terrain this war will occur in ? Does it look like the great Eurasian steppes to you ? It's mountainous terrain where the average heights are above 5000 mtrs.
In order for the PLA to prosecute a war there you'd need a ratio of anywhere between 7:1 to 9:1 in order to win . PLAAF , PLARF , your support services like Information warfare , cyber warfare , space warfare isn't going to win you those heights , boots on the ground are .
And Mountain warfare is notorious for eating up men . You lose as many if not more men to the elements there than to actual warfare.
Consider this -
This is the fourth time that the Chinese President, who is also the Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), changed the top General since the India-China standoff in Ladakh last year.

And now consider the fact that the Indian Army has had much more experience of mountain warfare than all of the PLA ever had or will . Google Siachen if you're really interested & you'd understand what I'm talking about .
At the end of the day the CCP didn't withdraw it's forces there because they wanted good relations with India or anything of that sort . If they really wanted good relations they wouldn't have initiated what they did in 2020.
The CCP did so for they failed to realise their objectives there , their inexperience in mountain warfare was exposed , their logistics was being stretched thin , troop rotation which is essential for mountain warfare was taking a toll , the CCP anticipated there's a good chance Trump might come to power which he did & they didn't want distractions on the western border while they were in the middle of a trade war with the US or worse they were in the middle of planning a campaign to retake Taiwan.
Well, I am trying to understand Indian thinking, Indian market is occupied by Chinese goods, India is proud because they think China needs India?
Yes & in which sectors are Chinese goods ruling . It's essentially in the electronics sector of which the Chinese are ruling the roost in the cell phones market of which if you were to parse the information the domination is mostly in the entry level smart phone segment.
That's a market with wafer thin margins which is dominated by the likes of Xiaomi , Oppo , Vivo etc . How are these Chinese companies surviving ? By evading taxes . For more information look up all the articles I've linked in # 1523 in this very thread on Han criminal behaviour.

Bottom line , India's just about started developing its electronic sector in the past 4-5 years . We're exactly where China was 20 years ago. As you see this sector develop you'd see Indian equivalents of Xiaomi , Oppo etc come up to challenge the Chinese companies here .
