China’s strategy along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Himalayas aims to control the timing and pace of military confrontations, forcing India to respond under pressure. This approach shifts risks and costs to India by choosing when and where to apply pressure, as seen in repeated face-offs at Arunachal Pradesh, Nathu La, Doklam, eastern Ladakh, and other points since 1967. India must not allow China to dictate the terms of engagement.
