“When all efforts to restore peace prove useless and no words avail, Lawful is the flash of steel. It is right to draw the Sword” — Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

On June 17, the Indian PM paid tributes to the Indian Soldiers “Killed in Action-KIA” in the Galwan Valley in the intervening night of June 15-16,2020.https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1632065 The Chinese also suffered in the “medieval-style” confrontation using modified clubs and batons. The seriousness of the developing situation all along the northern border was a stark reminder of the 1962 Chinese Aggression against India. However, the nature of the conflict is likely to be completely different.
In my book titled “IAF Helicopters: Aapatsu Mitram to Tejas Shatruh Damanam & Beyond” (KW Publishers, 2019, p.189) https://www.amazon.in/IAF-Helicopters-Aapatsu-Shatruh-Damanam-ebook/dp/B088P6SGSX the following table was derived which depicted the nature and dimension of wars which India is likely to face. It was structured to indicate the key elements of the governance structure that are likely to face a threat and have the primary responsibility to respond.

When we try and contextualise the recent actions of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) or the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)—terms which can easily be used interchangeably—with the help of the table, a set of orchestrated events emerge. All part of an emerging PRC offensive.
The most recent one being that of the “Chinese Spy” Charlie Peng a.k.a Luo Sang. He has been accused of bribing Tibetan Monks to obtain information about Dalai Lama, besides being accused of running a money-laundering racket. The reaction from the Tibetan Government in exile, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) based at Dharamshala has been that of expressing concern at the development, while clearly expressing their mistrust of all Chinese nationals. 
The Chinese thus are using a multipronged strategy using each of the subsets as a part of a coherent plan, the complete extent of the four major ones i.e. psychological warfare, media, espionage and intelligence are yet to reveal themselves. 
Notably, in the year 2015, the Chinese had retuned their stated war waging strategy and embarked on preparing the PLA  for “winning local wars under conditions of informationization”. As a part of these preparations, a significant emphasis was placed on use of technology, including space and cyber. We can reasonably expect that the use of such technologies would certainly not be local and would certainly be a part of the strategy being currently implemented. Hence cyber attacks can be expected, if and when the situation deteriorates. 
As for India, as more dimensions and the scale of the offensive become apparent, we will see a progressive shift from only a military-centric response to an integrated one, the outlines of which, are already visible. And, as the collective response at multiple levels is implemented by the political leadership, the general thrust adopted is evident in the announcement of the “Atamanirbhar Bharat” campaign and promulgation of the “import embargo list.” Complete list available here: http://164.100.117.97/WriteReadData/userfiles/IMPORT%20EMBARGO%20LIST%20MOD.pdf

These actions, coupled with the scaling up of the military preparedness, indicate a recognition of the magnitude of the Chinese offensive and indicate the emergence of a coherent response by India.
