Previously, some Indian netizens asked on overseas Q&A websites: If India takes the initiative to wage war against China in the future, what impact will it have on China?
As soon as this kind of question was released, it immediately sparked fierce debates among Indian netizens and netizens from all over the world, from the perspective of India's own people, how do they view the contradictions and conflicts between China and India today?
In fact, in recent years, all walks of life in India, and even many elites, have released many psychedelic remarks, and as for ordinary people, netizens at this latitude have released even more magical remarks.
In the comment area of this issue, an Indian netizen said: Although China's comprehensive strength is stronger than India in all aspects, India has made great progress compared with the beginning.
Moreover, India will win 3 to 1 against China, with India winning three times against Pakistan and China winning once in the war against India, China's main ally in South Asia.
Therefore, this Indian netizen believes that 75 percent of India's future wars against China will be won. I have to admit that at the critical moment, the mathematical ability of Indians is indeed not to be underestimated, and the angle of analysis of things is also extremely strange.
Similar to this answer, the answer is basically that today's India is no longer the India of 1962, and that India's national strength, especially its military strength, has developed dramatically and unprecedentedly.
India has had a certain advantage in many ground conflicts with Pakistan, and many Indians believe from this perspective that the upgraded India has the ability to defeat China, but it just lacks a chance to fight. So, many Indians dream of an attack on China.
Moreover, Indians generally have great superstitions about the individual combat capability of their own national army, and some people even fantasize that the Indian army can completely defeat one enemy to one hundred.
This kind of rhetoric, which is completely contrary to military common sense, is itself influenced by the idealism of India due to religious rule.
Of course, it is not excluded that individual Indians have relatively rational and objective thinking.
This part of the Indian people believes that India's comprehensive strength in all aspects cannot match China's. However, India, as a major power in South Asia, has a huge advantage in the waters of the Indian Ocean, and in wartime conditions, it can dispatch the Indian Navy to block the sea routes along the Indian Ocean in South Asia.
As a result, China's imports of mineral raw materials, oil, energy, and natural gas from African and Middle Eastern countries will be completely cut off.
What is even more rare is that these individual Indians are well aware that India cannot exert any influence on China in the Pacific waters, so they believe that the United States, Japan, and Australia, allies in the Pacific region, can be responsible for imposing a blockade on China's eastern waters.
On the surface, this strategy may be the most "reliable" strategy that the Indians can propose, but in fact it is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of the Indian elite.
From an objective point of view, India, as a large country in South Asia, has a very large territory, especially the vast plains, and has the ability to support a huge population.
As a result, India will truly surpass China's population size by the end of 2023 and become the world's most populous country. Moreover, India's GDP has risen to the top five in the world.
On the military front, India has introduced weapons and equipment from many major military powers in Europe, the United States, and Russia, and has an active force of one million, and has also developed nuclear weapons. Considering the above situation alone, India's overall strength is indeed quite impressive.
If a large-scale war breaks out between the mainland and other foreign countries on the eastern coast, or on the Korean Peninsula in Northeast Asia or on islands and reefs in the South China Sea, with India's military strength at the present stage, a surprise attack from the west can theoretically have a relatively large impact on the mainland's overall strategic security.
As a matter of fact, in recent years, with the support of the United States and Russia, India has gradually shown a military ambition of external expansion, and compared with the past when India used force against small neighboring countries, India has begun to move toward the so-called "big country with a voice and color."
In particular, India has frequently demonstrated its military presence in the northern border region, and even launched large-scale military exercises, which has made the situation in the region more volatile.
We are very clear about this, and India's military expansion, including its military investment, is essentially aimed at the mainland.
In recent years, in addition to India's continuous investment in the conventional services of the land, sea and air forces, it has also made considerable breakthroughs in emerging fields. For example, India has begun to extend its tentacles in the fields of cyberspace, information warfare, and space by taking advantage of its powerful IT network system.
All indications show that although India's comprehensive strength is not enough to make it a world-class power, India can play a huge role as a spoiler in the struggle against hegemony on the mainland.
However, India's regard of China as an adversary is definitely a tragedy for the country and its biggest strategic miscalculation.
In terms of hardware strength alone, China's GDP exceeds that of India by more than five times, and it is also a country with a large population, and the disparity in economic scale is so wide that it has reached an eye-popping level.
In terms of military construction, in order to cope with possible disputes with India in the future, the Western Theater is equipped with the most elite plateau and mountain combat units in the whole army, and the degree of modernization of military technology is no longer comparable to that of India.
The Chinese Army, not only far ahead of India, but even the Army of any country in the world is confident enough to win the battle when it meets the ace troops of the Western Theater on the Sino-Indian border.
The reason is very simple, the border line between China and India is almost a natural Great Wall for India, with the PLA active PCH-191 rocket artillery, in the Sino-Indian border, and even the second-line area, it is enough to cover the Indian capital New Delhi, so the future Sino-Indian war is completely an asymmetric war.
Despite the huge disparity in data between China and India, we still cannot afford to take India lightly.
India is a typical example of "opportunistic opportunism," and once China is caught in an anti-hegemony war with the United States and Western countries, India may stab the mainland in the back at any time when the war is at a stalemate.
Therefore, while enhancing the strength of the navy and air force, it is also necessary to pay attention to the army of the Western Theater, thoroughly deter and effectively contain India's military adventures with its powerful military strength, and cooperate with the peace-loving countries around it to jointly achieve containment of India.
