What will be the result of Indo-China war? Will it become a nuclear war?
In a conventional war, India will not win. China will make sure of that outcome, as the baseline.

Strategically, India will lose the imperative as the outcome of any conflict, just like galwan. There will always be a price extracted for blood, and that has been the status quo ever since mao declared the “Chinese people have stood up” in 1949.

The Chinese military does not have 1,000+ aircraft crashes in the last 40 years. China has a world class operational aviation record this century, both military and civilian.

The Chinese soldier also has a common understanding for 作战命令 or mission orders. He is trained to carry out the order to completion. Not “try my best” but “must”.

An example of steely discipline and strategic awareness comes from the sino-viet war.

238 Chinese soldiers surrendered without firing a single shot after they were separated from their main unit.

Cowardice?

No.

A ceasefire had been declared by the Chinese as they made the withdrawal from Vietnam. The chinese soldiers didn't fight their way out because commanders were cognizant that hostilities would render the ceasefire meaningless and threaten the safety of
the main body's withdrawal. They were the only Chinese pows captured over the course of the month long campaign.

The Chinese are a formidable fighting force. They are well trained, well equipped, supremely disciplined and led. It must be remembered that the pla is way more experienced in the conduct of war than the Indians, having fought massive million men
campaigns against the well-armed kmt, not to mention forcing the premier fighting force of the 20th century to a draw during the Korean War.
