What did china gained from it ?
India and Japan just had 2+2 quad meeting and gave statement regarding open indo Pacific, rule based order.
India won't leave quad, and would do more cooperation with quad, disengagement in Himalaya is only helping india to put more focus on indo Pacific .
Lol what are they (India) can realistically do in the Asia-Pacific buddy? Please do tell. What would you have liked for China to do? Keep pressing for a land area that's strategically insignificant? It's not like China has decided to withdraw their troops away from that zone that it'll give Indian military preponderance advantage if and when conflict happens.
We'll see how this situation unfolds and how India reacts or acts in these coming days, months, and next. If India keeps provoking China to the point of no return then at least India will have no one to blame but themselves since China has tried to defuse the situation to no avail. India ain't that dumb, they know their military capabilities are not up to par yet with China's military despite some of their military leaders wishful thinking and Jai Hind pronouncements.
Their newly inducted A.C. INS Vikrant doesn't even know what plane to be used that's after 13 years of waiting and waiting....
China understands India's oversized ambitions and oversized egos that love to give themselves credit for GIFTING CHINA a permanent U.N. seat, and for viewing themselves as somehow superior to China in some weird non-existing metrics called democracy and freedom.
