1. Any country’s external talk stance is a function of internal cohesiveness & economic resources. Both of which are gradually being enhanced
2. India’s weaker border infrastructure is linked to status of similar infrastructure within the country
3. China maintains larger force levels in Tibet to contain a resitive population. What can be brought to bear at different points against India is a small proportion of this. Air assets in Tibet are an instance.
4. India-China relative assessment has to be at sea, air, land & diplomatic strengths

Still Chinese roads reach the LAC/Border in only 4-5 areas – not all along the border. On the Indian side it is all mountains. Too many ignorant experts
