In this whole episode, the least discussed is our staying out of RCEP, BRI

Lets examine and see where we stand on a strategic, operational and tactical perspective now and what should be our next steps. What have we done well and where we need to improve a lot. Here goes

RCEP and BRI are two major Chinese initiatives to build a Chinese Economic and Military Power hegemony. The first is economic, trade control and the second is physical control of roads, commerce. This is basically East India Company 2.0 for 21st Century

India staying out

2/n

has angered China because it poses a serious threat (if we ever get our act right) to their hegemony plans. GOI has shown great wisdom in not joining 👏

Their 'invasion' is to teach us a lesson and ensure world knows that messing with Company Sarkar has consequences

3/n

Finger 4, Depsang, SSN China Pak collusion, DSDBO threat from multiple axis are all important by themselves but the greater imperative is to teach bloody Indians a lesson so that Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Japan all toe the line

All good but there is a big flaw here

4/n

When someone defies mafia or company sarkar they have to be physically beaten up. And if they respond then you have to be ready to fight. This is where Xi goofed up. Some chap called Sun Zu wanted to win without fighting and did not cater for people who had willingness

5/n

and क्षमता to fight ! So what do you do ? You try to sap their will to fight through proxies like @PravinSawhney who does not know Mike (M) about military spewing nonsense, and you carry on your salami slicing to project a victory to world

How has that worked out for Xi ?

6/n

He is currently holding Y junction in Depsang thereby stopping our access to about 80-100 sq km of territory. He is also holding F4-F8

We hold heights opposite Spangur Gap and entire Kailash range thereby endangering his positions on F4-F8 and blocking breakout from

7/n

Spangur that can threaten entire DSDBO road

Its advantage us even though they are in effect holding some territory

This could have been much worse but for the #GalwanBraves. They saved the day for us. Chinese had every intention of rolling down Galwan n threatening DSDBO

8/n

We were trapped (lets be honest) in the shackles of the various 'Peace and Tranquility' pacts and our 'Patrolling = Control' mindset. But these braves changed everything. The nation woke up and govt, army started realising the futility of playing by Chinese rules

Now what ?

9/n

The main strategic goal of Xi is to humiliate India publically - company sarkar/mafia need to show their strength. If we defeat that comprehensively we win. Else staying out of RCEP and BRI will be futile

What is Chinas main aim - to win without fighting

10/n

So we must never allow that and also show world that China lost

How ?

1 Hold onto Kailash heights at all costs regardless of weather difficulty
2 Take some more territory as negotiating chips for F4-F8 and Depsang
3 Drop mindset of patrolling = domination. We need to hold

11/n

4 Don't brush #GalwanBraves victory under carpet to give Xi a way out. Company Sarkar will come back again n ground you into dust if you do. Humiliate China by telling world how r braves smashed their ambush , killed 80 + of theirs. World needs to know China can be beaten

12/n

and that we beat them. This is CRUCIAL

This is tactial victory is key to the strategic victory

We are being too keen to find a way out, negotiate etc. We need to get out of this mindset. If we can do that we will have defeated Xi
