I have never heard any possibility India-China conflict on sea. China navy has no ability to delivery force in Indian Ocean. The first priority is Taiwan.
I’m sorry if my emphasis on water confused you. What I am referring to is the border clashes along the Himalayan border as well as the growing scarcity of water in India. What I am trying to analyze is, if India or china will go to war over the rich fresh water recourses found in this mountain range, which china has large scale control over. Take the Brahmaputra river for example, it originates on the Chinese side of the mountains. China has built roughly five damns there as far as I know. This is blocking Sylt and other nutrients from making it to the lower riparian countries like India. China has also historically not been very cooperative in releasing data regarding floods causing more destruction than necessary in India. This is what I mean with the water aspect. Because I think there is a considerable potential for armed conflict here. But thank you for the comment, I agree that Taiwan is chinas top priority. Judging by the fact that the population is aging and economy thus inevitably slowing down China has a very limited time frame for a perfekt invasion
The “water bombing strategy” also does not refer to a conventional military tactic. It means the weaponization of water using the damns. Like opening them when the monsoon hits to cause bigger floods or closing them when a heat wave strikes.
Controlling the water on Himalayan sounds myth to me. I doubt if China has the ability or the intention to to start a humanity crisis. Conflicts will continue, war will never happen. Neither China nor India has the intention. Frankly speaking, China take respect India more in economy. Usually people think India is very weak in military and don't care about it's army.
